Ray Rice — CUT BY THE RAVENS

breaking news

Ray Rice has been cut by the Baltimore Ravens.

The team just announced it has terminated Rice’s contract this afternoon … hours after TMZ Sports posted the footage of the Pro Bowl running back attacking Janay Palmer in an elevator back in February. 

Rice is in the middle of a 5-year $ 50 million contract he signed with the Ravens back in 2012.

The NFL had previously suspended Rice 2 games for the incident — but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell later admitted  he screwed up in punishing Rice … and instituted harsher punishments.
