Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice has filed for bankruptcy in a Texas federal court on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
According to the court documents, he owed more than $3.45 million.
Rice, who filed in the Northern District of Texas bankruptcy court, claimed more than $2.1 million of his debts are tied to varying plaintiffs suing him in civil lawsuits that have either been settled or are awaiting trial.
Rice, 26, has been sued by multiple individuals for his role in a high-stake multicar crash in Dallas in 2024 and an ex-girlfriend alleging he repeatedly assaulted her from 2023 to 2025.
In court filing, Rice disclosed his personal assets worth $677,054, including $421,825 in “deferred compensation”.
The filing claims Rice has $13,640 in his checking accounts. He claims to rent a residence and also claimed he has no property in his name.
According to the court documents, Rice’s largest creditor is still owed $979,837 as part of a 2025 civil settlement linked to the car accident.
Rice is challenging potential debts in some of the civil trials, including a combined $700,000 in lawsuits filed by 2024 car crash and $200,000 as part of the alleged assault suit.
According to the filings, Rice pledged his Super Bowl LVIII ring, valued at $160,000, as security for a debt.
Rice has entered the final year of his rookie deal with the Chiefs and is expected to draw a base salary of $1,560,711 in 2026.
