Third-year wide receiver Rashee Rice is anticipated to make a return from his knee injury for the 2025 NFL season, with hopes high for his performance on the field after a strong start in 2024. Off the field, Rice is currently dealing with civil suits and criminal charges related to a street racing incident, which could impact his availability for the upcoming season. His legal proceedings are expected to resume in July 2025, after the Texas legislative session concludes, which complicates the timeline for any potential NFL suspension. Optimism remains that any suspension could be minimal, given that Rice is a first-time offender.

Marquise Brown, a talented deep-threat wide receiver, became a free agent after a season with injuries. Last offseason, he joined a new team on a $7 million deal but suffered a shoulder dislocation, missing much of the season but returning for two games with limited impact. The team is facing cap space challenges, currently over $3 million in the red, and will need to address pending free agents, including Nick Bolton, Justin Reid, and Tershawn Wharton, while potentially restructuring contracts to clear space. Brown could still be an asset in the right offense and might return on a lower-cost contract due to market conditions and his recent injury history.
