>> if there's a team that will belief that ray rice can help that team win in the short-term or the long-term, somebody will give him a second chance at some point in time. >> reporter: and rice's fights with the nfl aren't over. he has a separate grievance to recover millions lost in game checks while suspended. and roger goodell is under scrutiny. an independent review by robert meuller looking at the handling of the ray rice case. including whether he knew about that video, whether the commissioner knew about that video. that could come soon. >> it seems like the arbitrator came down on rice's side on that particular issue. >> that's right. you have to see what happens in the investigation. >> more shoes to drop for sure. thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> and the playoffs are just around the corner in the nfl. and rice's wife janay is breaking her silence. saying the couple has maintained the same story for months. she says that everyone deserves a second chance. janay speaking out for the very first time about exactly what happened inside that casino elevator and what life has been like since. linzie janis is here with more. >> good morning. we saw the now-infamous video. wondering how did janay rice feel?
