Maaaaaan, this is sad. Reads like he got word through the grapevine that he was going to be let go by Chiefs after the season ends and this is a desperation move to let others within the league know he still wants to play.
If he comes back next year it will be on an adjusted deal. Chiefs brass let him know their intent either to let him prepare to look for a new team out of respect, or as a negotiation tactic to prepare him to take a new deal.
Seems like they see him as a legacy back they hope can have flashes for us again in the future on a minimal deal, and he still sees himself as a star RB.
