The other thread is a dumpster fire. I'm sure this will become one as well, but might as well start with a clean slate. I'll at least try to keep the OP updated with any notable news. Feel free to PM me if I miss anything good.
Arrest warrant and potential charges:
Spoiler!
BREAKING: An arrest warrant has been issued for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in connection to his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash on U.S. 75 in Dallas in late March, sources tell WFAA. https://t.co/XL3F7oCuW1

Collision involving injury carries a penalty of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for not more than five years or confinement in the county jail for not more than one year, a fine fine not to exceed $5,000 or both. Collision involving serious bodily injury -- a third-degree felony -- carries a punishment of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years. Aggravated assault -- a second-degree felony -- is punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
TL;DR, his concern was at a 2, and now it's a 4 (out of 10). Still probably not a huge deal, but there are some concerning possibilities. Overall, though, he thinks it all gets pled down to misdemeanors, he misses a couple of games, and he writes some massive checks to those he injured.

#Chiefs Patrick Mahomes said he's worked with Rashee Rice throughout the offseason and will continue to do so while the legal process plays out for Rice..

Sutton took a plea deal and that's when the NFL set his punishment. I think the same happens to Rice. When he reaches that deal is the question. [Reply]

Guy is more NFL ready than any rookie WR we've ever had under Reid, and he was still there getting the mental reps. It's more about learning the offense than anything.
I bet he plays more week 1 than you think. [Reply]

March of '25 feels like a long time to delay of traffic accident. Chunt might need to make a donation to a charity in the jurisdiction. [Reply]

Would go against pretty much everything Andy has done in the past with these types of things, but we can hope. [Reply]

As an Eagles? No.
And Worthy is much closer to DJax and Maclin as a prospect than Tyreek and Hardman.
Matt Verderame talked about this on his pod the other day. He said he spoke with a Chiefs source and they told him that basically they knew they had. I fucking choice but to put Rice in early and get him the ball bc of how bad the WR’s were last year. [Reply]

You can put Rice in that same category (hence "maybe") as Hardman and Tyreek and the point still stands. [Reply]
