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 marijuana possession.

The offensive linemen were booked early on Friday morning and were released after posting a $2,500 bond, according to the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.

The charge facing them both is a Class A misdemeanor - meaning it could lead to a fine of $2,500 and the possibility of a year in jail.

Morris won the Super Bowl with the Chiefs earlier this year. The former third-round pick played 14 times last season.

Godrick, however, spent time on the Chiefs' practice squad having joined the NFL's International Pathway Player in 2023.

The arrests come at a terrible time for the Chiefs, who have endured a difficult offseason ever since beating the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl in February.

Kicker Harrison Butker has been fiercely criticized all week for a controversial speech he gave at a Kansas college's commencement ceremony.

Butker congratulated the women receiving degrees at Benedictine College and said most of them were probably more excited about getting married and having children. 

He also said some Catholic leaders were 'pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America.'

Butker, whose own mother is an accomplished physicist, also criticized Pride month and President Joe Biden's stance on abortion.

The controversial speech has attracted fierce backlash and, a day after his address, a petition was set up to have the Chiefs kicker removed from the team's roster ahead of the 2024 NFL season. It has now received over 187,000 signatures.

Wide receiver Rashee Rice surrendered to police after a major car crash in Dallas in March and also assaulted a photographer outside a nightclub earlier this month.
