Andy Reid recently provided an update on Rashee Rice
Chiefs coach Andy Reid provided an update on Rashee Rice's situation as the team began their offseason program:
"As far as Rashee Rice goes, his situation, I'm leaving that like we've done most of these, just for the law enforcement part of it to take place, and then we'll go from there with that."
Reid has reportedly spoken to Rice about the situation and there is no gap in communication.
Rice is coming off a phenomenal rookie season, recording 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games. In the playoffs, he had 26 receptions for 262 yards and scored one touchdown in four games.
He has become an integral component of the team and will be counted on next season as the Kansas City Chiefs attempt to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Hopefully, Rice be able to sort out all the legal issues before joining the team in the coming months.
