If he retires, could they have reclaimed some of his last signing bonus? If he's cut, he gets to keep it all.
Priest's bizarre quote about being willing to take LJ's money if he won't sign tells you everything you need to know. He is not coming back but is willing to pretend that he is coming back to align himself with management. The guy is the NFL equivalent of a scab. After LJ signs, he will cash in an injury settlement on his contract and be done.

However, I think it really motivated Tatum Bell.
Exactly. I said it from the get go and it feels even more accurate now - this was VERY well played by Peterson / Holmes.J
But...it's not over yet.
That's true. I'd say Peterson is none to happy to be reading this type of stuff today without a contract in place.J

Joe, I always respect your opinion, but do REALLY think that LJ was threatened by a running back who has done absolutely nothing during training camp?
Not that I am Joe, but it seems to me that whether LJ felt threatened or not is really not the point. The point is that Carl was will to TRY and make LJ feel threatened. And that is something I certainly believe happened here.

I guess that I didn't clarify my point. I give Carl Peterson all the credit in the world for trying to pull a rabbit out of the hat. I felt that maybe Joe thought that some sort of secret had been leaked by the media. LJ was not threatened by a guy who is looking at serious injury if he ever steps on the field. (No link, just my personal opinion) No argument, not putting words in someone's mouth, just my own response to what I had interpreted.P.S. That doesn't mean that I don't like to argue.
No argument with any of that. I just did not take Joe's response to mean anything other than he was impressed with how Carl was playing this little game. I didn't think that he ever imagined LJ felt threatened. Honestly, I can't fathom LJ being threatened by Priest. If LJ should be threatened by someone on the Chiefs, I would think Michael Bennett would be more threatening, simply because he has at least some gas left in the tank.I guess that I didn't clarify my point.

So did Vince McMahon script this or what? Next it'll be LJ versus Preist as the main attraction.
