Super Bowl champion Chiefs dive into voluntary workouts amid an offseason full of distractions
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid is hoping for a much quieter rest of the offseason now that the defending Super Bowl champions have reconvened for a series of voluntary workouts, culminating with their mandatory minicamp in the middle of next month.
Whether it’s been the unresolved Dallas car crash involving wide receiver Rashee Rice, the polarizing comments delivered by kicker Harrison Butker or the wild schedule foisted upon Kansas City by the NFL that has it playing every day of the week but Tuesday, there has been no shortage of headlines involving the Chiefs since their title triumph in February.
“Obviously, we don’t want those things obviously to happen,” Reid said, primarily alluding to Rice’s legal trouble, “but things do happen and you learn from it. And you end it. That is what’s important.”
The case involving Rice, one of the breakout stars of last season, has been the biggest headache for Kansas City.
