ITEM: What’s real regarding Rice negotiations?
Over the last week, there have been three different reports regarding the status of negotiations between the Baltimore Ravens and Ray Rice on a long-term contract.
On Monday, May 21, Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun reported that the sides are making progress toward a long-term contract.
