Lyerla arrested

Well Rice was cut and suspended indefinitely now.

Yep. He's done. He gets to keep the huge amount (25M) of the contract already paid, but at least won't get paid for this year. At least that balances things a little bit.

Does he or does he not get paid for this year? As a vested vet, his contract is guaranteed for the season if he's on the roster week 1, right? Does suspended count as being on the roster?

Also be interesting to see how the contract is written, and if they can claw back some of the signing bonus for 'conduct detrimental to the team'.

According to PFT, suspended = not on roster, so nothing for this year. Don't know about any clauses, but I suspect there isn't anything. If Hernandez didn't have anything, I doubt Rice did.
