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..
What are you thinking? Worthy isn't even seeing the field?
They didn't go out there and get all this speed at WR to play a guy that was essentially benched after a terrible divisional round until he got an easy TD in OT in the SB. [Reply]
It would be nice if Worthy got a lot of reps in OTAs though. If he had been blowing up all over the field like Hollywood Brown was I would be firmly in the camp of he's playing early and often.
I still might be, I'm just saying I wish he practiced [Reply]

He also had a sweet catch on a deep ball in the SB. Not to mention the game winning catch.
Dude played like one snap in the AFCCG. It was so bad he was basically benched.
He went back to playing his 18-20 snaps in the SB, and he made a couple plays, but they did not attack the WR position to go out there and play a guy that they benched in the AFCCG over the guy they just traded up for in the 1st round. [Reply]

Midway in the season? Absolutely.
Early? The guy hasn't been able to do any team stuff thus far. "Mental reps" or not, Andy will slow walk him in like he's always done. [Reply]

I don't think you really understand how much more polished Worthy is than those 2 guys and Rice coming out.
There is absolutely no reason he can't do the gadget stuff week 1 after a full TC. This is just silly.
People seem to forget that Worthy was a 1st round pick. KC didn't draft him to have him sit behind scrubs for a year. He should be on the field early and often, starting in week 1. [Reply]
They'll absolutely get him involved early and often....if he can be healthy.
I'm not sure you guys are getting where my skepticism is coming from here. He hasn't practiced, IIRC, with full team stuff any this offseason. For a rookie that's not ideal. He's still got TC so it could all work out fine, I don't blame them for being cautious with a hammy, but the timing and such matters. [Reply]
