Chiefs wideout files for bankruptcy
Rashee Rice claims $3.5 million in liabilities related to a 2024 Dallas crash and civil suits over alleged assault.

Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice filed for bankruptcy in Texas on Wednesday, listing $3.5 million in debts.
The petition, filed in a Dallas court, reports $677,054 in personal assets. That total includes $421,825 in deferred compensation. Rice enters the 2026 season in the final year of a four-year rookie deal worth $6.5 million. His base salary for this year is $1.6 million.
The largest listed debt is $979,837. This amount represents a settlement for Rice's role in a 2024 high-speed crash in Dallas that injured multiple people. The incident led to a six-game NFL suspension. Rice also lists potential debts from ongoing civil litigation. Crash victims have filed combined suits seeking $700,000. A former girlfriend has filed a separate suit for $200,000, alleging multiple incidents of assault between 2023 and 2025. The NFL did not issue a disciplinary penalty regarding those assault claims.
Rice pleaded guilty to third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. He received a sentence of 30 days in jail and five years of probation for the crash. Earlier this year, Rice served an additional 30 days in jail for violating probation after testing positive for marijuana.
The 26-year-old former SMU player has recorded 20 receptions for 243 yards and two touchdowns this season. He established his career with 938 receiving yards and seven touchdowns during the 2023 championship campaign.
