MAY 9: The police report detailing the incident notes the suspect – whom FOX4’s Steven Dial confirms is Rice – contacted the photographer while the latter was in his car shortly after departing the Lit Kitchen and Lounge. Upon returning, Rice is alleged to have shown the victim records of a conversation involving the victim and another person on Rice’s phone before punching the victim in the face. That and other police-related developments in this case will no doubt be considered by the NFL regarding any potential league discipline.
MAY 7: Rashee Rice is facing eight felony charges in connection with a hit-and-run incident earlier this year. The Chiefs wide receiver has run into more trouble. He is now being investigated for an alleged assault.
The investigation centers on Rice allegedly hitting a photographer Monday night a Dallas nightclub, WFAA’s Rebecca Lopez, Rachel Snyder and Joe Trahan report. Police are interviewing witnesses about the alleged assault.
Rice, 24, is likely to face an NFL suspension — which presently is the least of his concerns, given the charges from the March hit-and-run development — for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. It is not known if a ban will come down in 2024, but a suspension at some point is expected. Another incident will add to the second-year wide receiver’s distractions and potentially tack on suspension time or introduce a second ban that comes at a separate point.
A 2023 second-round pick, Rice did well to bail the Chiefs out from an ill-conceived wide receiver plan last season. Becoming a consistent presence during season’s second half, the SMU product totaled 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. Rice remained a reliable target for Patrick Mahomes — during a season in which few of those were present — in the playoffs. The two-time reigning Super Bowl champs have since made major updates to their receiving corps. The Chiefs signed Marquise Brown and traded up for Xavier Worthy in Round 1. Rice, however, is expected to remain a key part of Kansas City’s passing attack.
Rice was believed to be street racing in a Lamborghini SUV, helping to cause a six-car accident on a Dallas highway in March. Rice’s vehicle reached 119mph just before the crash, and the young wideout fled the scene. Rice later turned himself in. He is believed to be helping financially with crash victims’ expenses, though a civil suit has since emerged. The 6-foot-2, 203-pound receiver did not show for the start of the Chiefs’ offseason program but took part in meetings virtually.
From Kareem Hunt to Tyreek Hill to Frank Clark, the Chiefs have seen a number of high-profile players run into off-field trouble in recent years. Charles Omenihu began his Kansas City tenure with a six-game suspension stemming from a domestic violence arrest. Clark and Hunt also served suspensions, the latter’s ban coming after the Chiefs waived him. This latest Rice development will certainly be a storyline to monitor for the defending champions.
Oops
Damn, he waisted no time screwing up again. He certainly learned his lesson.
Not a great offseason for him so far.
At least he didn’t cause a TBI in a child while hammered after leaving team event. Then getting is sentence commuted like the head coaches living son.
Two offenses equal a year off
What a dummy ! Thought he was speed racer n now fancies himself a pugilist. Dude needs a babysitter. Didn’t cowboys do that w/young Dez Bryant to keep em outa trouble ?
Irrational Rashee
So while planning his defense he has time and money to be Clubbin? Riiiiiggggghhhhhtyttt!
Good thing for them they planned ahead and signed Hollywood Brown and Drafted Worthy.
Hollywood and Worthy are both questionable in their own right. Hollywood has been average and often injured. ( At times he’s done great but not consistent) … where was he last year when Tre McBride was moving the offense ?
Worthy …. We will see no one knows. Very fast man but so was John Ross who’s combine record he broke. John Ross was a huge bust and also the fastest man at the combine … also a 1st rounder
As a fan of a different AFC West team, I can honestly say you don’t really understand the Chiefs. They repeated a Super Bowl run last year with an honestly awful receiver group. They’re improved this year even without Rice. They kept most of their free agents and added a solid draft class to the team.
We’re all screwed.
I don’t like the Bengals but they’re really the best hope to knock them off their high horse.
Also, watch 5 minutes of Worthy’s college film and compare it to the John Ross college film that is still on YouTube. The 40 time has nothing to do with why at least two other teams were calling the Bills to trade up. I still can’t believe the Bills pulled the trigger on that trade. They had 2 other inquires, honestly anyone but KC would have been the better trade even if the return draft picks weren’t as good.
This guys a first class dumb ass !!!
Looking to top Antonio Brown for craziest WR?
He has a great start
He’s gotta ruin an arena team first.
Set him down with Kareem Hunt and Henry Ruggs. Maybe they could tell him how costly offseason mistakes are.
His attorney is already telling him how co$tly off$sea$on mi$take$ are…
Or maybe he i$n’t…
He ain’t working pro bono…
It’s been nice knowing you.
maybe he can get a short sentence and get to live at home comfortably like coach reid’s dirtbag son
Trying to figure out which is the craziest argument I’ve had here…
That Rashee Rice almost killing a bunch of people in his drunken 120 mph hit and run drag race is the same as not using a turn signal….OR…that Andy Reid (the father) has no responsibility for how his son turned out?
Reid had another son who died of an overdose I believe. It appears he is a better football coach than he is a father.
Adults making bad decisions doesn’t mean Reid is/was a bad father
Addiction is a hellva a thing. Whether it be drugs booze sex. Tons of parents out there who did all they could to help their kids overcome addictions but end of the day adults are gonna make adult decisions like do the drugs, drink the alcohol, gamble their money away, etc etc.
Weren’t you the dude who thinks people should be charged with attempted murder if theyre doing things like driving over the speed limit? Something like “people should be charged with attempted murder if they’re driving habits have a chance to cause unnecessary death” or some stupid bs like that? Pretty sure that was you. Maybe it wasn’t. Whoever said it on here was dumb.
No, I said people who do things like what Rice did should be charged (which he was) but dimwits and drunks with guilty consciences strawmanned the argument and you evidently couldn’t tell the difference.
Rice was charged. So. Yeah.
Do YOU understand the difference between what Rice (drunken 120 mph hit and run drag race on a busy highway during peak traffic hours) and not using a turn signal?
If so, good. If not, good luck to you and everyone around you.
66TheNumberOfTheBest Said:
“If things like this [rashee rice driving recklessly/speeding] don’t fit the definition of attempted murder, the definition of attempted murder should be changed.
Knowingly and willingly engaging in conduct that can result in the easily foreseeable deaths of others [should result in attempted murder charges according to 66TheNumberOfTheBest]
That’s what this is.
DUI, too, while we are here.”
Yes 66TheNumberOfTheBest was the dummy who said people should be charged with attempted murder if their actions put others lives at risk, even though attempted murder requires premeditation (a person intends to commit murder and tries to carry out the killing but, for whatever reason, is unable to accomplish it). People aren’t speeding or driving recklessly with the intent to kill someone.
No. People shouldn’t be charged with attempted murder if they are driving recklessly / speeding. That’s dumb.
Yes. We already have laws on the books for what Rashee Rice did.
Yes. Punishments for driving recklessly and speeding should be increased and famous people athletes shouldn’t be given special privileges.
No. We don’t know if Rashee Rice was driving drunk. That’s speculation and 0 proof he was. If you have proof post it.
Google “depraved indifference”.
I get that morons and drunks don’t understand this but…DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE is the difference between what Rice did and…NOT USING A TURN SIGNAL. FFS.
If you are so dim or have such a guility conscience over your actions that your brain makes you dim on this issue that you cannot understand this difference, I can’t help you.
I’ll just cut to the chase…if DUI weren’t a white guy crime, we’d take it ten times more seriously. The people who need that carve out defend it to the death (sometimes literally). i like watching them out themselves.
If you want to continue to defend Rice or pseudo-defend him with weaponized stupidity, so be it. He was charged with serious felonies, as most sane people understood he should be. If you want to side with him, knock yourself out.
Too bad he’s not the only one doing this every punk who thinks it’s too fast too furious does this. Attempted murder lol dude calm the hell down on your rants you sound reckless yourself.
Receipts are a hellva a thing too.
This is beyond fumbling the bag. Some people don’t figure out that they can’t act like they’ve got nothing to lose until they lose everything.
Its really sad when these athletes have amazing opportunities, and throw them away for silly reasons.
Look! Over there! Flying out the window! It’s Rashee Rice’s career!
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…careening into an oncoming lane and causing a six car accident!
As long as he doesn’t go to jail for too long, the Chiefs don’t care what he did. Andy Reid is still having him attend Zoom sessions from his cell. If anybody has cared to notice, the Chiefs have an extremely long and dark history of violent and irresponsible players, coaches, and executives, especially this century. If it wasn’t for Mahomes, the Hunt’s would be forced to sell much like Dan Snyder. People think no one likes them because they keep “winning”. It’s because of all the POS people they employ and never reprimand. How can justice be served if they have the mf governor on their payroll?
How is this different than any other team?
All hands and no brains
What the heck is it with Chiefs WR’s? Maybe someone needs to do an investigation into the WR room and see if there is Radon or electromagnetic in the room causing crazy behavior.
What the heck is it with people in the Chiefs organization in general? Frank Clark, Kareem Hunt, Larry Johnson, Britt Reid, Lamar Hunt Jr, Bam Morris, Charles Omenihu…the list goes on and on
Dont forget Mr. Abuse himself, Tyreek Hill.
You forgot Jovan Belcher…
When his autobiography comes out it’s going to be titled “How I flushed my NFL Career Down the Toilet via Driving & Drinking”
Was he drinking or smoking?
For the culture.
I am sure his street cred is way up at least.
Can’t wait to see what he does to complete the trifecta….lol.
Chiefs need to sign Hunter Renfroe and cut bait with Rice already
Moron
This guy’s putting together a nice offseason…
Gonna be hard to play from jail…
Has anyone ever told him “No”
