Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the Federal Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Texas, according to court documents filed on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026.
According to the filing, Rice claims just over $675,000 in assets while owing 20 creditors more than $3.2 million. The debt is reportedly tied to settlements and legal fees resulting from a six-car crash Rice caused on Easter morning in 2024.
Among the assets listed in the filing are:
Rice's filing does not list a home or other real estate. Under the income section, Rice claimed he has made $1.25 million so far in 2026.
The bankruptcy follows ongoing legal disputes stemming from a March 2024 crash on the Central Expressway in Dallas. Prosecutors stated the Lamborghini Rice was driving was traveling 119 mph moments before impact. Rice left the scene of the crash before police arrived, though he later surrendered to an arrest warrant and took responsibility for the collisions in a statement.
In July 2025, Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges for the collision and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years’ probation. He was also required to pay the victims’ medical expenses.
In April 2025, Rice and Kathryn Kuykendall agreed on a $1 million civil settlement. A judge signed a judgment for Rice to pay Kuykendall the $1 million, plus interest and attorney fees. However, March Lenahan, an attorney for Kuykendall, told NBC 5 that his client has not been paid and that Rice's paychecks from the Chiefs were being garnished. Lenahan stated that "the vast lion's share of what Rice owed is still unpaid."
Rice was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft and is currently in the final year of a four-year, $6.5 million rookie contract. He is set to become a free agent at the end of the 2026 NFL season.
Rice has faced various off-field and on-field challenges during his tenure with the Chiefs:
In the current season, Rice has played in five of the seven games for the Chiefs, missing two due to a hamstring injury. He has recorded 20 catches for 243 yards and two touchdowns.
