As expected, Ray Rice won his appeal against the NFL’s indefinite suspension. The ruling was expected by some to be handed down prior to Thanksgiving but there was no way the NFL was going to let that depressing and damning news story overwhelm its slate of holiday games.

Now that Rice is once again eligible to play in the NFL, the question becomes whether a team will actually sign him. Troubled players getting second and third chances after terrible deeds is hardly uncommon in the NFL, though the extent to which Rice has been a national story that has transcended football and pushed a conversation about domestic violence suggests his return to the league won’t be happening at least in 2014.
