Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice filed for bankruptcy Wednesday, claiming to have $3.45 million in debts.
Rice’s debts stem from multiple pieces of civil litigation, including a lawsuit in which former girlfriend Dacoda Jones accuses him of abuse and lawsuits related to a 2024 multi-vehicle crash in Dallas that injured four other people.
Rice, who was sentenced to five years of probation and 30 days of jail on two felony charges over the crash, listed multiple unpaid civil claims and other debts in his bankruptcy filing in federal court Wednesday, according to The Athletic.

The debts include:
• a disputed claim of $350,000 owed to Kamlesh Desai, one of the victims in the crash;
• a disputed claim of $200,000 owed to Ms. Jones;
• a claim of $150,000 owed to Edward Petrovsky, one of the victims in the crash;
• a claim of $150,000 owed to Irina Gromova, one of the victims in the crash;
• Over $185,000 owed to attorney Thomas McMurray, who is keeping Rice’s Super Bowl 58 ring for $160,000 in collateral;
• Over $207,000 owed to First National Bank of Middle Tennessee;
• Over $140,000 owed to First National Bank in Killeen, Texas.
Rice also listed over $979,000 still owed to Kathryn Kuykendall, another one of the crash victims with whom Rice reached a $1 million settlement in April 2025, according to Dallas NBC affiliate KXAS-TV.
Since then, Rice has been paying back Ms. Kuykendall via garnishment of his paychecks from the Chiefs, with $206,000 repaid between 2025 and 2026, according to The Athletic.
He is due to make over $1.635 million for the 2026-2027 season, according to salary cap website Over The Cap.
In the filing, Rice reported a monthly income of over $32,000, with just over $29,000 in monthly living expenses, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Rice claimed to have over $677,000 in personal assets in the filing with only $39,000 given non-exempt status that would allow it to be used to pay off his debts, according to ESPN.
