Rashee Rice is training with David Robinson to prove he is the NFL's top receiver. The Chiefs' wideout is eyeing a massive contract extension after a record-breaking rookie season.

But now, Rashee Rice is taking his preparation to a completely different level. He is currently grinding through the spring alongside renowned private coach David Robinson.

 "🚨EXCLUSIVE: #Chiefs receiver Rashee Rixe has been working with renowned coach, David Robinson, he tells @MLFootball," According to the media outlet MLFootball on X."David says: “Rashee Rice is on a mission focused and ready to prove he is the best WR in the league‼️.”"

Rice enters the 2026 offseason fully healthy after previously dealing with a frustrating knee injury that he suffered in the 2024 season against the Chargers and concussion issues that kept him away from the field in the 2025 season.

Fortunately for Rice, the NFL officially closed its personal conduct investigation and will not suspend him for the 2026 season.

The Chiefs receiver has trained closely with wide receiver coach Robinson since 2023. Robinson helped the young receiver reflect on his rookie year with the Chiefs, when Rice recorded 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns.

For Rashee Rice, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year. The Kansas City Chiefs wideout is entering the final season of his rookie deal, a four-year, $6.495 million contract signed after going No. 55 overall in 2023, with a base salary of around $1.63 million this year.

With free agency looming in 2027 and Rice already pushing for a bigger payday, this now becomes a prove-it season, especially after his recent public push.

Rashee Rice's Push for "JSN Money"

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is heading into the 2026 season knowing exactly what he wants. With his current contract ending soon, he has made it clear how much money he expects the team to pay him to stay.

 During a recent livestream on Instagram, Rice said he expects “JSN money” to stay in Kansas City long-term, pointing to Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s four-year, $168.6 million extension with the Seattle Seahawks.

On the field, Rice has shown clear signs of becoming a primary weapon for Patrick Mahomes, being active on the Chiefs’ offense.

However, his absences raise questions about whether he can sustain his production over a full season.

Even though his rookie season was promising, the mix of durability concerns and an ongoing legal situation makes a record-breaking extension interesting.

What do you think Rice's comeback preparation will get him in terms of his desired contract amount? Let us know in the comments! Read more at the Kansas City Chiefs Community!
