Perennial All-Pro
ESPN.com's John Clayton reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Priest Holmes dropped a bombshell on teammates back in March, telling them he was considering retirement. Holmes had more on his mind than football, as his father was in Iraq. Plus, each fall is more difficult on him because his family stays in Texas. Holmes approached head coach Dick Vermeil about it and Vermeil told him to give it some time and see how he feels. QB Trent Green said Holmes never officially said he wasn't going to retire, he just continued to show up for workouts.
