No Additional Suspension Expected For Chiefs WR Rashee Rice For Parole Violation

According to Ian Rapoport, the NFL is not expected to issue any additional punishment for Chiefs WR Rashee Rice after his parole violation this summer. 

Rice had to serve 30 days in jail at some point due to his involvement in a multi-car crash in 2024, but a failed marijuana test violated his probation terms and triggered that sentence to be served this summer. 

Rapoport notes Rice already served a six-game suspension for street racing, so in the eyes of the NFL, he’s already been disciplined. 

This offseason, Rice was involved in a domestic violence dispute where the case was ultimately closed because he was said to not have engaged in behavior that violates their personal conduct policy.

Rice is entering the final year of his rookie deal, and there have been rumblings that the Chiefs could be wary of giving him a long-term extension because of his continued off-field issues.

Rice, 26, was named first-team All-AAC in 2022 for SMU. The Chiefs selected him in the second round with the No. 55 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. 

He’s entering the final year of a four-year, $6,495,207 rookie contract that includes a $1,723,787 signing bonus.

In 2025, Rice appeared in eight games for the Chiefs and recorded 53 receptions on 78 targets for 571 yards (10.8 YPC) and five touchdowns.
