Negative signalBust

Rice's off-field issues and potential decline create major receiver corps concerns.

The source expresses significant concern regarding Rasheed Rice's availability and performance, noting he spent the spring rehabbing in jail. There is uncertainty about whether he has lost a step due to injury or his legal situation, which contributes to the fear that the Chiefs could possess a bottom-five wide receiver unit.
