See the full story · 1 sourcesAccording to the Associated Press’ Dennis Waszak Jr., Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is a big-name player with something to prove entering the 2026 season.
" The 26-year-old wide receiver, who missed the Chiefs’ voluntary offseason workouts and mandatory minicamp, served a 30-day sentence in a Dallas County jail for violating the terms of his probation, stemming from his role in a car crash that left multiple people injured on a Texas highway. Rice also had surgery to clean debris in his right knee shortly before he was sentenced. When he has played, he has been a productive target for Patrick Mahomes with 156 catches for 1,797 yards and 14 touchdowns. But Rice has also played just 28 games in three seasons because of a suspension and injuries. " — Dennis Waszak Jr., AP
The former SMU Mustang's rookie contract is set to expire at the end of the 2026 season, so Rice should have plenty of motivation to earn a massive payday when he returns to the field as Kansas City's top wideout in September.
