ravage Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 This is the best I have. But it doesn't say he's on the PUP...yet. Priest Holmes - RB - Chiefs NFL Network's Adam Shefter reports that Priest Holmes will see more specialists at the end of July. The Chiefs has yet to be medically cleared to play and the Chiefs are considering placing Holmes on the phyiscally unable to perform list (PUP). If Holmes started the regular season on PUP, he wouldn't be able to play until week seven. The elephant in the room here is Holmes' salary, which was reduced to $710,000 in March. It's very possible the salary will be a retirement gift. May. 24 - 8:21 pm et Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I thought he was done before this news, as LJ has the job and will literally run with it. If was fun while it lasted Priest. You had your moments as a Fantasy God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godtomsatan Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I read this rumor elsewhere. Can anyone confirm? 1485730[/snapback] I didn't read any rumours, but Priest hasn't been worth his drafted position since 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainer_Phil Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) It's nice to be back!!!!! I've been keeping an eye on this situation and according to Priest's dad it doesn't appear that the Chiefs' veteran RB is preparing to play football this season. Even though he hasn't been medically cleared to take the field there are things he could be doing on his own to get ready. But he has apparently done nothing. So either he has no real desire to return or that his injury is more severe than what is being reported. I'm currently working on a very big article for The Huddle's Fantasy Football Handbook due out this summer, and it details pretty much every player who was hurt last season and those coming off surgery and their status for training camp and the 2006 season. We will have it available on the site sometime in early June so keep your eyes peeled for it . Edited May 27, 2006 by Trainer_Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoBeast Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Are the Chiefs just paying him this season just as a 'thank you'? What other teams have done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuke'em ttg Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 after watching Beyond the Glory about Priest's setbacks at Texas, Balt. it's hard to ever count him out, i could see him PUP till wk 7 and then back-up LJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
