Feels like the Chiefs are living through their own version of a season finale cliffhanger—one bad twist after another. First, the three-peat dream got stomped out. Then, Travis Kelce’s retirement rumors had fans spiraling. And now, the wide receiver room is a full-blown mess. Injuries, off-field drama—you name it, it’s happening. Andy Reid’s probably wondering what he did to deserve this offseason chaos.

The KC’s WR room is pretty messy right about now. Xavier Worthy is out there making some headlines for the worst reasons possible. Then there’s Rashee Rice—grinding through his rehab to make a potential return. Amidst this WR chaos, the Chiefs’ Kingdom must be rooting for the front office to make a move. Well, they did make a move—but not what you expected.

On Sunday, the former Pro Bowl wide receiver, Dwayne Bowe, hopped on his official ‘X’ handle and decided to shake things up for the Chiefs’ WR corp. “Ju$T Got The 📞 @Chiefs,” he wrote in his post. Oh yeah, no details, no context, just random emoji, which is enough to send fans into a full-blown frenzy. Now’s the big question: are the Chiefs really going to include Bowe on the active roster for their next campaign?

Well, I don’t think so. You see, it’s been almost a decade since he last hit the gridiron and almost six years since his retirement. Sure, the guy stands tall at 6’2” and weighs over 200 pounds, but c’mon, the Chiefs surely don’t want a 40-year-old receiver on their roster, right? However, the Kansas City team may hire him as a wide receiver coach.

I mean, the guy’s got his name locked in Chiefs history, sitting in the top five for most receiving yards with 7,155 to his name. Sure, the fans might have a bitter memory of his inability to catch football. But in his prime? The 40-year-old ex-WR was a straight-up beast—big, physical, and had hands that could snatch a ball out of thin air.

Take his rookie season, for instance. Bowe didn’t just show up; he made history. The man racked up 70 receptions and 995 yards, setting franchise records like it was just another day at work. And now, with the Chiefs looking to develop their second-year WR, Worthy, wouldn’t it make sense to bring in a guy who was a beast from the jump?

And how can we forget his 2010 season? The guy not only led the team in TD catches but also earned Pro Bowl and Second-team All-Pro honors. Pure work ethic. So yeah, Andy Reid and Co. could sign him as their WR coach—unless they are planning to honor him with the Ring of Honor.

But one thing’s for sure—the Chiefs’ wideout room is going to be the most talked about thing in this offseason moving forward.

Xavier Worthy & Rashee Rice: Andy Reid’s biggest concerns

Xavier Worthy can surely outrun the defenders, but the off-field drama? No, don’t ever think about that. On March 7, the second-year wideout was arrested in Texas on a felony domestic assault charge. If we believe the legal docs, Worthy was charged for allegedly confronting a woman about infidelity. The allegations arose after the WR demanded the woman to leave the house, and well…you know the rest.

Following his arrest, Worthy was held at the Williamson County jail. However, less than a day later, he was released after the Williamson County district attorney declined to pursue the charges. Worthy’s attorney’s response? “She destroyed a room… scratched his face… ripped out his hair.” Well, not a good sign for Worthy, considering the guy just started his pro football career. Following his release, Andy Reid and the Chiefs must be hoping for things to cool down.

Because let’s be real—their WR room is giving the Breaking Bad final season vibes—everything’s falling apart, and the cleanup job is getting messier by the day. Take Rashee Rice, for instance. The guy suffered a knee injury in the week 4 game of the last season. Yes, yes, it’s been a long time and double R is grinding to make a comeback. In fact, Jeff Mueller, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, recently gave an update on his recovery.

“Here is what we call a course-correct. I’ve previously said to Sell. Rashee Rice is putting in WORK to be ready for the 2025 season coming off of LCL, PLC, and hamstring surgeries. Still has 6 months until Wk1 (suspension still pending though). Message received. Buy,” he shared on his official ‘X’ handle. Good news. For Rice. For the Chiefs. And the fans as well given he’ll be physically fit. But what about his legal troubles?

Let’s rewind a year back when Rice and former SMU teammate Theodore Knox were involved in a multi-car wreck that injured four people. Well, Rice escaped the scene before the authorities arrived. However, he later took to his social media handle and took the full responsibility. “I take full responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities,” he addressed.

Fast forward to now and Rice is still not freed of this case. His attorney, Texas Senator Royce West, managed to push the civil trial back due to legislative obligations. That means the case will not move forward until June 2. Bad News. For Rice, for the Chiefs, and, of course, for the fans as well.

Now, Andy Reid and Co. must be scratching their head right about now. After all, he somehow tackled the over the cap salary situation, but this WR situation will surely take some time.
