*Ray Rice‘s days with the Baltimore Ravens … and possibly the NFL, are over.
The team announced Monday that his contract has been terminated. It was followed minutes later by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announcing that, based on the latest video evidence now available, Rice is suspended indefinitely from playing in the league.
His two-game suspension for assaulting Janay Palmer was scheduled to end Friday. But that was before TMZ posted new video this morning of the running back knocking out his then-fiancee in February.
TMZ Sports posted the video Monday showing Rice and Janay Palmer, who is now his wife, entering an elevator. Inside the elevator, Rice punches Palmer. Palmer lunges after Rice, and then Rice hits her back and she falls to the floor.
Previously, TMZ Sports had released hotel surveillance video of Rice dragging an unconscious Palmer out of the elevator. This is the first time video has been released that shows Rice punching her.
A few months after the incident, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Rice without pay for the first two games of the regular season and fined him an additional game check for “conduct detrimental to the NFL.” However, no one in the NFL offices, including Goodell, had seen the newly released footage of the incident until Monday, the league said earlier today
