Ever since it was announced Monday that Cleveland signed former Kansas City running back Kareem Hunt to a one-year contract some anger around town has resurfaced about the way former Ravens running back Ray Rice was treated for his domestic violence case nearly five years ago.

Ray Rice's arrest five years ago represented a line of demarcation in the way the NFL and the Ravens understood and confronted intimate partner violence. Though much has changed in the time since, the league still faces difficult questions about its place in a national epidemic.

Many have noted the similarities between Hunt and Rice’s incidents, something that the former Raven acknowledged.

Another damning TMZ video causes the Kansas City Chiefs to release superstar running back Kareem Hunt and should cause the NFL to question its priorities.

Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith practiced Wednesday in the wake of his suspension for personal misconduct, even as the team prepared to begin the 2018 season without one of its most important players.

The Ravens would have cut Jimmy Smith except for the fact that he’s a former first-round draft pick and a several-million-dollar investment.

Former teammates and fans talk about what they remember about Ray Lewis and his Hall of Fame career.

Rice last played in the NFL five years ago.

Mike Preston writes that the Ravens need to draft a running back who can catch passes out of the backfield like Ray Rice.

Five years ago, the Ravens completed a remarkable playoff run that capped the careers of some of the franchise’s greatest stars and seemed to seal the legacies of coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Joe Flacco. But their attempts to reload for another run have not gone as planned.

Ozzie Newsome will step down as Ravens general manager next season, handing the reigns of the player personnel decisions over to Eric DeCosta, owner Steve Bisciotti said at Friday’s State of the Ravens address.

The negative reaction to the possibility of the Ravens signing Colin Kaepernick illustrates just how clueless some fans are when it comes to keeping everything in perspective.

Now a high school running back coach, former Raven Ray Rice returned to the team facility Thursday to speak to the organization's first-year players.

Ray Rice has a job in football after all.

The Ravens never had a chance to draft one of the top wide receivers, but should they have taken one in the second or third round?

“I just think there’s so much more to learn from my situation,” Rice told USA Today

It's inconceivable that the Atlanta Falcons blew a 25-point second-half lead in Super Bowl. But it nearly happened to the Ravens, too.

Rice hasn't played in the NFL since he was suspended in 2014 following a domestic-violence incident.

Thursday night games present an array of difficulties for the Ravens and every other NFL team.

With veteran Justin Forsett's release Tuesday, the young and unheralded trio of backs not only represents the team's running game of the present as the Ravens (3-1) face the Washington Redskins (2-2) on Sunday afternoon at M&T Bank Stadium, but potentially the future as well.

At some point soon, the Ravens, who are enjoying good health, may have to make some really tough roster decisions.

If the grass looks greener to fans at M&T Bank Stadium when the Ravens season opens Sunday, it's not just because the artificial turf has been replaced with more than 50,000 square feet of pristine, natural grass. Eight months after a losing season marked by injuries to key stars and conspicuously empty purple seats, the new playing field offers an apt metaphor for a fan base with a fresh outlook based partly on the team's history of rebounding from disappointment.

Each NFL team is required to maintain a thorough rookie orientation program, which includes three more days of sessions later this month while NFL facilities have otherwise emptied out until closer to the start of training camps in late July.

"I would say that's the story of an innocent man and a guilty man."

To make up ground in the AFC North as well as the conference, the Ravens need to have a quality draft because they might not have enough salary cap room to bring in high-profile free agents. The team's draft record has been disappointing since the late 2000s when the Ravens selected players who made an immediate impact, like guards Ben Grubbs and Marshal Yanda in 2007 and quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice in 2008.

The Ravens are getting closer to having to make a decision on one of their top pending free agents.

The footage of Rice hitting his then-fiancee cost almost $90,000, reports the New Yorker.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was distracted, to say the least.

From his seat at the Super Bowl on Sunday, Vonta Leach will summon the past — the Ravens' ascent to the top in the 2012 season and that glorious scoreboard, at game's end, which he'll not forget: Ravens 34, San Francisco 49ers 31.

It has been 15 years since the Ravens won their first Super Bowl. They won another in 2012, which is remarkable for a franchise that has been in existence for only 20 years. Often there are questions about which team is better, but maybe they can be tied into one. Can Ray Lewis of the 2000 team beat Ray Lewis of the 2012 squad?

Former Ravens running back Ray Rice doesn't sound like he's gotten close to signing with an NFL team, but with three weeks remaining in this regular season he has not given up.
