Wideout Rashee Rice chiefs were accused of a car accident in Dallas in March 2024
This marks the second consecutive off -season during which a receiver of the chiefs found himself in legal difficulty in Texas.

Viral videos later showed that Rice fleeing from the accident scene.
A WFAA report revealed that 10.8 grams of marijuana had been found by the police in the Lamborghini, which is a class B offense in Texas.
Despite this, as well as a civil trial in the case and a distinct accusation of aggression which was then abandoned, Rice faced any punishment of the NFL in 2024.
However, the chiefs did not know that Rice would be unpunished in the case at the time of the April draft. And with the status of rice in the air, Kansas City exchanged to obtain the choice of bills at n ° 28 and take worthy.
This decision would come back to haunt the Bills in January, when he caught a pass of a touchdown in the second quarter of Patrick Mahomes on the way to a 32-29 victory against Buffalo.
Worthy now enters the second season of his recruit contract of $ 13 million over four years.
