The Kansas City Chiefs have a double-edged sword in their arsenal and his name is Rashee Rice. On one hand, the wide receiver has been an important factor in the Chiefs winning their most recent Super Bowl. However, the WR has also had some serious run-ins with the law that might bring negative attention to him and his team.

After admitting his guilt in a car accident in March, Rice has come under scrutiny again for his allegation of assault at a nightclub. His behavior has sparked a lot of discussion among different sports analysts. Brady Quinn, LaVar Arrington, and Jonas Knox spoke about Rice’s behavior and the implications it could have on his career on Fox Radio, comparing him to Tyreek Hill.
On Two Pros And a Cup of Joe, the trio spoke about how Rice is just not able to get it right in terms of how he is acting off the field. Even after the success he has seen, Rice’s actions might jeopardize his future, especially with the Chiefs. The Chiefs have proven in the past that they have no problems trading players who don’t align with their vision.
The best example was the Cheetah. One of the analysts accentuated this and said,
“They’ll replace you like Tyreek Hill got replaced and they’re fine. Like you don’t have his resume steer stay out of trouble, steer clear from this cr*p.”
Interestingly, there is a possibility of the Chiefs trading Rice. The Chiefs have always made it clear that they have a zero-tolerance policy for misconduct. Moreover, through the example of Tyreek Hill, they’ve proven that they are ready to make bold steps for their championship campaign. And that’s not all.
Rice might not just face repercussions from the Chiefs but from the NFL itself. As per Marca, the WR might face a multiple-game suspension in the next season. Furthermore, with the kind of troubles he has been in recently, the analysts imparted some much-needed wisdom for the WR.
Imperative Wise Words for Rashee Rice
With the way Rice has been going, he is in dire need of course correction. While talking about his behavior on the show, the analysts made it clear that his issues are going to be a problem everywhere.
Even teams who have a bad record in the league aren’t going to bring in a player with a detrimental lifestyle. All the analysts unanimously agreed that Rice needs to take a long hard look at his conduct, not just as an NFL player but also as an individual.
As of now, the WR is facing intense competition within the Chiefs camp. There is brilliant rookie talent in Xavier Worthy as well as veteran talent in Hollywood Brown. With such fierce players as his competition, Rice needs to focus his energies on proving his prowess as a wide receiver. With his fate as a part of the Chiefs unclear, it remains to be seen how Rice will navigate the tough times ahead.
