I'm torn because as a fan, I feel that this team owes Priest Holmes a lot. He is the reason this team is a contender (well not this year). But I think the direction the team takes needs to be a football/business decision not a fan decision.
I love Priest Holmes, but if I was picking a back for this team to build around it would be LJ because he is young, costs less than Holmes, and has produced in each game that he has played in.
So Carl need to go to Priest and say the following. "Priest, you are the best back in the NFL and I want you to get a Super Bowl Ring before you retire (I know he has one but so does Elvis Grabac). You know we need to fix the D, and I need Cap space to do it. So either you need to help us free up some cap space or we are going to have to trade you for players/draft picks."
Its sucks and hurts but Priest has trade value.

That's essentially the way I feel.
No, Holmes isn't worth what alot of people think he is (ie. 2 1st-round picks) but I do think he's worth more in a trade than LJ, and LJ is worth more to us now (after seeing him play) than what we could probably get in a trade too.
It all boils down to this:
What puts us in the best postion to win a Super Bowl? Do that.
