Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has faced off-field problems that worry the team. Because of this, the Chiefs might consider trading for a top wide receiver, like A.J. Brown, to strengthen their offense.
Key Facts
Rashee Rice has had multiple issues since joining the NFL, including violating personal conduct rules related to his probation.
The NFL no longer suspends players for marijuana tests, but Rice’s probation issues are separate.
The Chiefs might explore trading for A.J. Brown, a highly skilled wide receiver, to replace or support Rice.
A.J. Brown has been selected to the All-Pro team three times and made the Pro Bowl multiple times.
Brown has had six seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards in his seven NFL seasons.
The Chiefs have few reliable wide receivers besides Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton.
The team’s recent draft of wide receiver Cyrus Allen and free agent Jeff Caldwell has not fully solved their need for dependable pass catchers.
Adding Brown would reduce pressure on other receivers to perform at a top level.
