Andy Reid makes ‘full speed ahead' quip on Rashee Rice's status
The Kansas City Chiefs will have revenge on the mind during the 2025 NFL season. Kansas City's chance at a three-peat was demolished by Philadelphia in Super Bowl 59. The Chiefs will now do whatever it takes to get back to the big game during the 2025 season. It would help to have one of their best wide receivers back on the field.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid made a hilarious quip about receiver Rashee Rice in a recent interview.
'He's done a nice job off the field, he's doing a nice job on the field,' Reid said per Michael David Smith of PFT. 'You learn from your mistakes, that's the important part. So all of that. On the field, he's just been full speed ahead—no pun intended.'
Reid unintentionally made a hilarious pun about Rice's legal troubles that threaten to keep him off the field at some point during the regular season.
Rice was involved in a car crash during the 2024 offseason which was related to a street racing incident. The crash left several people injured and Rice faced eight criminal charges as a result.
Rice was sentenced to five years probation and 30 days of jail time on July 17th. Since Rice was sentenced, NFL insiders estimated that the league would expedite its disciplinary process and give the receiver a multi-game suspension.
Considering the nature of Rice's legal charges, Reid unintentionally made a pun by saying that Rice has been 'full speed ahead' during training camp.
The NFL can announce whether or not Rice will receive a suspension at any time. For now, the Chiefs simply have to prepare for the worst.
Chiefs' Rashee Rice opens up on suspension talks during training camp
Rice is doing the best he can while he waits for suspension news.
The talented wide receiver opened up on his potential multi-game suspension during a recent interview at training camp.
'Honestly, it's still in the works,' Rice said. 'My legal team is handling that. All I can do is focus on what I can control right now, and that's me doing what I do best right here on the field.'
Rice is not going to let a potential suspension slow him down, despite the uncertainty of his future.
'This is my job, and this is what I love to do,' Rice concluded. 'Even when I'm not able to be out there with my team, I'm still going to be working as hard as I can so I can be back out there with them as soon as possible.'
Hopefully the NFL announces how they plan to discipline Rice, if at all, as soon as possible.

What Alexander Isak's agent said about transfer as Anfield rumors swirl
Alexander Isak's agent recently suggested that the Newcastle United forward is close to taking "the next step" in his career, and it was rumored that one of his representatives was at Anfield on Monday. Liverpool played a double-header against Athletic Bilbao on Monday, and the Reds won 4-1 and 3-2 with two different squads. The Anfield Wrap claimed that one of Isak's agents was at Anfield, sending social media into overdrive. Isak has expressed a desire to leave Newcastle this summer, but the club rejected Liverpool's $145 million offer. Newcastle has since sent an official bid worth $105 million to RB Leipzig for striker Benjamin Sesko, which has sparked mass speculation that Isak may join Liverpool. READ MORE: Harvey Elliott sees Liverpool exit option open up after nightmare injury blow READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Alexander Isak boost, Will Wright joins, Bilbao double action The 25-year-old is represented by Universal Twenty Two, and one of his agents, Gonzalo Gaitan, recently discussed his client and a potential transfer. "We are already studying and analyzing all options, and we may be close to finalizing the next step for the player," Gaitin said, via Saudi Arabian outlet Arriyadiyah. Isak helped Newcastle end a 70-year wait for silverware last season and scored in a 2-1 win over Liverpool in the League Cup Final. Despite achieving hero status, Isak expressed his desire to leave Newcastle in July. Newcastle was in talks with Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike earlier this summer, with ambitious plans to partner him with Isak. However, Liverpool hijacked the move and signed Ekitike for an initial fee worth $92 million. Despite signing Ekitike, Liverpool then switched its attention to Isak. The striker missed Newcastle's preseason tour due to a reported thigh injury, but it's believed he's pushing to join Liverpool. After making a formal offer, Liverpool has yet to submit an improved bid for Isak. However, should Leipzig accept Newcastle's offer for Sesko, then a record bid could force the club to part ways with Isak. Due to uncertainty surrounding his future, Isak has been training alone since Liverpool's opening bid. Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe hasn't spoken to Isak since the offer was made, but sent him a clear message. After Newcastle's preseason tour in Asia ended, Howe condemned Isak's behavior and warned him that isolated training may continue once the squad returns to England. "You have to earn the right to train with us," Howe told the Daily Mail. "We are Newcastle United. The player has a responsibility here to be part of a team and part of a squad - you have to act in the right way. So that is also at play here. "We will make sure that any player does that to earn the right to train with the group. No player can expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal." Howe also distanced himself from the transfer saga because he focused on Newcastle's preseason tour. "Other people have been dealing with that situation back at home," he said.

OL Will Hernandez visits Arizona Cardinals
Could Hernandez be returning to the Cardinals in 2025? Former Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Will Hernandez could possibly become a current Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman. According to the NFL transaction report on Monday, Hernandez had a visit with the Cardinals. Hernandez spent the last three seasons as the team's starting right guard. He played in only five games last season, tearing is ACL against the San Francisco 49ers. His contract expired and has not signed a deal with any team since becoming a free agent. He recently announced that he has been fully cleared medically to play football. The Cardinals never reassigned the No. 76 he wore for three seasons, even though their sixth-round draft pick, guard Hayden Conner, wore it all through college. Clearly, the door has been open. Hernandez will be 30 years old before the season begins. The Cardinals appear to be happy with second-year guard Isaiah Adams as the starting right guard. The question is whether Hernandez would be willing to sign a deal to return and not be assured a starting role. Even in a reserve role, considering how injuries impact teams, having someone of his ability on the bench would be great for the team's depth. Having him on the roster would allow the Cardinals to hedge against injury or Adams not playing well. We will see if anything official happens, or if the Cardinals used this visit for a potential move down the line.
