Ozzie Newsome has admitted that the Ray Rice situation from 2014 will impact which players the Baltimore Ravens acquire in the offseason.

"Someone who has domestic abuse in their background, it's going to be tough for them to be considered a Raven," Newsome said Tuesday in the annual State of the Ravens news conference.

Team officials supported Rice for months last offseason before abruptly cutting the running back in September after a video of him hitting his future wife was released publicly.

Dorial Green-Beckham, Karlos Williams and Frank Clark are three players in this year's draft who have allegations of absue against women in their past.
