Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has filed for bankruptcy protection despite earning approximately $6 million during his NFL career, according to a report from SB Nation.
The 24-year-old pass catcher, who was selected by Kansas City in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, has accumulated significant earnings through his rookie contract and performance bonuses over two professional seasons.
Details regarding the specific circumstances leading to the bankruptcy filing were not immediately disclosed. Rice emerged as a key offensive weapon for the Chiefs during the 2024 season, recording over 1,000 receiving yards and establishing himself as one of the league's promising young receivers.
The filing represents a notable financial development for a player still on his initial NFL contract, raising questions about financial management among young professional athletes.
