Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice files for bankruptcy claiming more than $3.45 million in debts
Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy claiming more than $3.45 million in debts tied largely to 2024 Dallas crash lawsuits.

Rashee Rice's off-field legal tab just pushed him into federal bankruptcy court.
The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Wednesday in the Northern District of Texas, claiming more than $3.45 million in debts, according to court records.
More than $2.1 million of that total is tied to plaintiffs suing him in civil cases that have either settled or are awaiting trial.
Crash suits and an assault claim
Rice, 26, has been sued by multiple people over a high-speed multicar crash in Dallas in 2024. An ex-girlfriend has also alleged he repeatedly assaulted her from 2023 to 2025.
The filing lists $677,054 in personal assets, including $421,825 in deferred compensation and $13,640 in checking accounts. Rice says he rents his residence and owns no property. He claimed $39,241 of his assets as nonexempt.
His largest creditor is still owed $979,837 from a 2025 civil settlement tied to the crash. He is disputing other potential debts, including a combined $700,000 from crash victims and $200,000 tied to the alleged assault suit.
Ring used as collateral
According to the documents, Rice used his Super Bowl LVIII ring, valued at $160,000, as collateral with attorney Thomas McMurray for the pending civil cases.
Bankruptcy attorney David Shuster and the Chiefs had no comment. McMurray did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
Rice is in the final year of his rookie deal and is due a $1,560,711 base salary in 2026. He has played five games this season with 20 catches for 243 yards and two touchdowns.
