The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to come back strong in the 2025 NFL season after a tough Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Head coach Andy Reid‘s team will have to retool and try again. In that regard, a key weapon in Patrick Mahomes has given a strong admission about his future with the Missouri franchise.
In the last few hours, it was confirmed that talented receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown will continue to wear the Chiefs jersey next season after agreeing to a one-year extension. Mahomes will have an important weapon at his disposal for the upcoming season.
However, Reid expects the best from his entire roster and knows that he must build a solid team by not only using the offseason to look for additions, but also to bring back the best version of some of his players. One of those stars who needs to return to his high level is wide receiver Rashee Rice.
What did Rice say about his future with the Chiefs?
On his future with the Chiefs, Rice said he will be ready to be on the field next season. “When it comes time for me to get back on the field, there will be no question about what I did in the offseason,” the key weapon for Mahomes told I Am Athlete Podcast in a statement.
