Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice might want to start setting millions of dollars aside, as Texas Judge Kim Bailey Phipps issued a $2.88-million judgment against Rice's former SMU teammate Theodore Knox, who was street racing with Rice when the two caused a major crash on a Dallas highway in March 2024, then fled the scene on foot.
Thursday's judgment was for one of the victims and included compensatory and punitive damages. It was the third judgment against Knox, who was ordered to pay two other victims, $1.99 million and $1.63 million, respectively, bringing his total judgements to $6.5 million. Knox, 23, has been in the transfer portal, unsigned since SMU suspended him in April 2024, as the crash details emerged..
Knox did not contest the judgements, with Judge Phipps deciding on witness statements and physical evidence. Rice will use an attorney and mount a defense in the three civil suits he faces related to the crash. The NFL suspended Rice six games last season for his actions, which violated its personal conduct policy
Additionally, his former partner and mother of his children, Dacoda Jones, has filed a lawsuit against Rice for domestic assault and abuse. The NFL did not discipline Rice for those accusations, stating it could not find enough evidence to do so.
My take: Rice. Couldn't happen to a worse guy. He is who he is and has shown it on multiple occasions.
