Ray Rice may get another crack at being an NFL running back this coming season after all.

A handful of teams have expressed "legitimate interest" in the running back, according to a report from TMZ. Rice, who has been on the outside looking in since his infamous domestic violence incident last year, hasn't gotten as much of a sniff this offseason in free agency.

Still, an anonymous agent who doesn't represent Rice, tells TMZ that Rice will get a contract soon. "He will be back on the field very soon with some team ... I can guarantee that."

The Cowboys could use some running back depth, but they just got burned by the 10-game suspension of the newly signed Greg Hardy, who played in just one game last season due to domestic violence charges against him.
