Priest is the man..he almost single handedly brought excitement back to the offense. We were lucky to have him...

I will miss him on the field, but will always enjoy watching him run. He was like DT...you knew it was only a matter of time before he made a huge play.

There is no way Priest is coming back to the Chiefs. He isn't go to pay back any of that money and he will never set foot back in Kansas City again.

Now, if by some miracle he did make it back, he would be nothing more than a backup. And a very expensive one at that. 33 years old (will be 34 on October 7th) is old for a running back in the NFL.


At the same time he has a very low number of "miles" in those 33, nearly 34 years compared to most running backs that age. That is due to injuries of course but at this point he has been out of the game for nearly 2 years and should be very fresh.

Having said that, I don't think he will be back either. This made a handy reason to escape with most of his faculties intact. It is too bad, he was really fun to have on the team for a few years.

Here is hoping he can be as successful in whatever he does in the future! :toast:

Yep, and he scored in the redzone. I was going to make a similar comparison to DT, I will never "get over" either one of them. Great memories of what they did on the field.

I agree up to the point he calls Holmes a "mercenary". I don't believe that is correct or fair. Holmes' driving motivation was to be the best and prove his detractors wrong. He was never 'Mr. Kansas City' but neither was he all about the cash.

I'd never do that.

"...and his absence is excused. Oh, it’s also frustrating."

Shouldn't that be "Oh, it's all so frustrating"?

Proof reading is a thing of the past I guess; long live spell check.

Good article however.

No.

I believe that his absence, while excused by the Chiefs, is frustrating, as well.

In hindsight it absolutely looks like he was all about the cash...

Team Priest?

Can someone fill me in on that reference?
