 Re: Nfl News
Priest Holmes is ready to take Larry Johnsons money if Johnson does not sign.
Priest who is 34 is at camp making waves to say the least. Even though the Chiefs will use him as a situational back, he is promising to give it a shot and compete with everyone. Michael Bennett and rookie Kolby Smith are currently taking all the snaps in camp. However, Holmes did put the pads on yesterday and took handoffs and a few hits from the coaching staff.
Larry Johnson is being fined $14,000 per day as he sits out and waits to get the contract he wants.He is looking for LT money, around $28 million guaranteed.
Holmes said "Somebody has to get the money." "Hey, if L.J. wants to leave the money out there, guess I'm going to take it. If he wants to come get it, it's rightfully his to take. He's earned it. But if he chooses not to come back, well, somebody has to take it. Why won't it be me?"
