It has been a little while since we have heard anything about Ray and Janay Rice. The couple spent months grabbing headlines late last year because of an elevator surveillance tape that leaked. It showed him knocking out his wife cold with just one punch and it ultimately led to Ray being cut from the Baltimore Ravens. He legally can play in the NFL now but no teams have even expressed interest in signing him yet. On the home front, the couple is at least trying to make it look like they are better than ever.

Ever since standing around the kitchen counter to chat with Matt Lauer for a Today segment, Janay has done nothing but praise her husband. During that interview the couple insisted that it was just one bad night in a very long relationship that just so happened to be caught on camera. It actually seemed like they regretted that part of it more than the fact that it happened at all. Anyway, since then Janay has posted loads of photos with Ray and her young daughter looking like the perfect family.

A week or so ago Ray went all out to spoil his wife for her birthday and after the fact, Janay once again took to social media to declare her husband the "best ever." The real question is whether or not this is all just smoke and mirrors. Ray recently settled with the Ravens after they cut him early, breaking his contract. It remains to be seen whether or not he'll actually play in the NFL again. Looking like life at home is fantastic and his wife has totally forgiven his violent actions might be a first step towards getting signed to another team, don't you think?

Is all well between Ray and Janay, or are they just bonded in trying to lock down another million dollar NFL contract? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
