I have a buddy at work who is a Cowboys fan. Every so often, he asks me about Priest's situation. He just asked about him again on Friday. I told him what I have been telling him since the extent of his injury was first announced. I said that I still think Holmes is done.

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.

This was a pretty good article. If he comes back, I will be wildly surprised.

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!

The only reason why I think he keeps on saying he wants to come back is he needs his tenth year played so he can get medical benefits from the league...
