Holmes, a three-time Pro Bowler, turns 34 in October and has been out of football since 2005 after suffering what many figured was a career-ending injury. The Chiefs are not planning on him being anything more than a situational back, if he returns to the field at all.
"Somebody has to get the money," he said. "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?"
Both head coach Herm Edwards and Chiefs president Carl Peterson have said Holmes will not be their feature back.
"If he's able to come back, he understands and accepts the fact that he would have a different role than when he was the starter," Edwards said.
Shine on you crazy fucking diamond. MEANWHILE... IN THE BATCAVE...
