Rashee Rice: Five Years Probation, 30 Days Behind Bars
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice received his sentence Thursday for the multi-car crash. A Dallas judge handed down five years' probation and 30 days of jail time, though Rice can serve those 30 days at any point during his probation period.
Rashee Rice was racing his Lamborghini SUV at 119 mph through Dallas traffic on May 30, 2024, causing a six-car pileup that injured multiple people. Then fleeing the scene.
The Financial Reckoning
He was also ordered to pay $1 million to the two injured plaintiffs, plus their legal fees, along with $115,481.92 in restitution. Rice did receive deferred adjudication, meaning that if he completes probation, the case gets dismissed. It's the legal equivalent of a mulligan, assuming he can avoid any further automotive adventures.
What This Means for Your Fantasy Lineup
The NFL has been waiting for the legal process to conclude before dropping its sentence. Sources suggest Rice is facing a multi-game suspension for the 2025 season — potentially two to four games, though it could be longer.
