JaxonFord87 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/KC/9582339 The Kansas City Chiefs acquired running back Michael Bennett from the New Orleans Saints, but insisted that didn't mean Priest Holmes would retire.Holmes, a three-time Pro Bowler, is back home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting medical clearance to resume his career. He sustained a neck and spinal cord injury in a game last October and lost his starting job to Larry Johnson."This is not an indication that Priest is not coming back," Chiefs president Carl Peterson said.The Saints traded Bennett for an undisclosed choice in the 2007 NFL draft.Holmes was placed on the physically unable to perform list before the opening of training camp and will likely remain there for the foreseeable future."He's comfortable with that and we're comfortable with that," Peterson said. "We'll continue to monitor his physical well being. I've had conversations with him and he's right now where he is. But the doctors have still not given him a release to have contact."Bennett, who signed as a free agent with New Orleans in March, appeared in 64 games with Minnesota. His best year was 2002 when he had 1,296 yards on 255 carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I was wondering when and where Bennet was going, but knew they weren't going to keep him there with Duece and Bush... They can insist all they want, but Holmes' days might be a lot closer to done than they admit...WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxonFord87 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Priest Holmes should just retire. His days are done, but he does have alot of love for the game in not wanting to leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
