Ravens will continue to avoid players with domestic-violence pasts

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti reiterated his team's stance on staying away from players with a history of domestic violence.

The Ravens first announced this policy of in February 2015 after the Ray Rice scandal.

"Domestic abuse? Not taking them," Bisciotti said at Tuesday's "State of the Ravens" news conference. "Kansas City is in the playoffs partly because a guy [Tyreek Hill] they took a chance on. Will we take chances like that again? I don't think so."

Hill, a unanimous All-Pro selection at returner, pleaded guilty in 2015 to domestic assault and battery by strangulation in an incident involving his then-pregnant girlfriend.
