Guice was arrested last summer in Virginia after being charged with one felony count of strangulation and three counts of assault and battery due to three separate domestic violence incidents in 2020 involving his ex-girlfriend.
Washington released Guice shortly after his arrest.
The felony strangulation charge was dropped earlier this year and the other charges were dropped this summer when Guice and the woman reached a settlement.
Guice has faced his share of troubles in recent years. Two women accused Guice of rape during his time at LSU.
Guice was drafted in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft and missed his rookie season with a knee injury. He appeared in five games for Washington in 2019, rushing for 245 yards and scoring three total touchdowns.
