Here is how much money Chiefs’ Rashee Rice will lose if he’s suspended by NFL
Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice won’t be going to trial for the March 2024 multi-vehicle crash in Dallas.
Rice on Thursday pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges as part of a plea agreement with the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office. He was sentenced to five years of probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of probation.
While Rice’s criminal case is settled, there are still multiple civil cases pending against him. And Rice will wait to see if the NFL levies its own punishment.
Should Rice be suspended, he will not be paid for each game he misses.
Spotrac shows Rice’s base salary for the 2025 season is $1,265,474, which is $74,439.64 per game. Here is a breakdown of how much money Rice would lose depending on the length of a potential suspension.
1-game suspension: $74,439.64
2-game suspension: $148,879.28
3-game suspension: $223,318.92
4-game suspension: $297,758.56
5-game suspension: $372,198.20
Practicing during suspension
The Chiefs players will report to training camp Sunday in St. Joseph, and Rice will be there regardless of when any potential NFL punishment is announced.
When a player is suspended, he can practice with the team at training camp and take part in preseason games, the Pro Football Network said. But once the season begins, a player is barred from the practice facility for the first half of the suspension.
The player can return to the team’s facility over the second half of the suspension, that story notes, to prepare for his return to game action.
