Thousands of Baltimore Ravens fans lined up early Friday morning to exchange their Ray Rice jerseys and cut ties with the former running back who was once one of the team’s most popular players.

Fans went to M&T Bank Stadium to trade for an available jersey of another Ravens player.

The jersey exchange runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET on Friday and Saturday.

The Ravens released Rice last week after a second video emerged of him knocking out his then-fiance and now-wife, Janay, unconscious in an Atlantic City elevator in February. The NFL suspended Rice indefinitely.

Last year, the New England Patriots offered a jersey exchange after tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged with murder.
