Perhaps Ray Rice should emulate the comments of Greg Hardy to get a tryout in Dallas.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is on record of wanting to save athletes with violent paths, saying part of the reason he signed the defensive end with the troubled path is that he didn't want to take away football and risk Hardy going down that troubled path again.

Now, Jones has the opportunity to "save" another wayward player. In fact, Jones should find Rice a more appealing free agent because of Rice's past with domestic violence.
Jones would be a bona fide hero if he signed both Hardy and Rice and both stayed away from legal trouble.

Dallas released running back Joseph Randle on Tuesday, with Jones saying, "I'm always concerned as to any issues regarding the [mental] health of a player. It's a lot more serious than the football [injury]," according to ESPN.
Signing Rice is bound to have backlash for any organization bold enough to complete such a move. But all criticism would be tied to what Rice did to former fiancée and current wife Janay in the Atlantic City casino elevator in February of 2014.
If anyone believes that the running back is capable of a repeat performance, speak now or forever hold your peace.
The Cowboys now are relying on oft-injured Darren McFadden and former Seahawks fullback Christine Michael to carry the load. Rice has had a far more productive career than either of those two backs.
The Panther Lair conducted a poll in October asking whether the Cowboys should sign Rice, and 84 percent of the responders said yes.
If ol' Jerry is into rehabilitating players, like he says he is, signing Rice is a no-brainer. The Cowboys have lost five in a row since starting quarterback Tony Romo suffered a broken clavicle in Week 2.
