Two Kansas City Chiefs players are arrested for marijuana possession as nightmare week for the Super Bowl winners continues
Kansas City Chiefs players Wanya Morris and Chukwuebuka Godrick have both been arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
According to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, the offensive linemen were booked early Friday morning and released after posting $2,500 bail.
The charge they both face is a Class A misdemeanor, meaning it could carry a $2,500 fine and the possibility of a year in jail.
Morris won the Super Bowl with the Chiefs earlier this year. The former third-round pick made 14 appearances last season.
However, Godrick spent time on the Chiefs’ practice squad after joining the NFL’s International Pathway Player in 2023.

The arrests come at a terrible time for the Chiefs, who have had a difficult season since beating the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl in February.
Kicker Harrison Butker has been harshly criticized all week for a controversial speech he gave at a Kansas university’s commencement ceremony.
Butker congratulated the women who received degrees Benedictine College and said most of them were probably more excited about getting married and having children.
He also said some Catholic leaders are “pushing dangerous gender ideologies into America’s youth.”
Butker, whose own mother is an accomplished physicist, also criticized Pride month and President Joe Biden’s stance on abortion.
The controversial speech has sparked strong reactions, and a day after his speech, a petition was created to remove the Chiefs kicker from the team’s roster ahead of the 2024 NFL season. It has now received more than 187,000 signatures.
Wide receiver Rashee Rice was also responsible for a major car crash in Dallas in March and attacked a photographer outside a nightclub earlier this month.
