Sounds like Larry Johnson is close to signing with Chiefs now.

If he's healthy and has something left in the tank he'd be a welcome addition.

Maybe Ferguson and a 6th rounder for Priest Holmes? That move might make Favre a little happy.

So far he's done all non-contact drills in practice

If he can suit up and take some hits it would be encouraging

Remember we're talking about a 34 year old RB who didn't play last year. No matter how good he was, there are plenty of question marks surrounding Priest and not many teams lining up for him.

I doubt he's on a roster at the beginning of the year, perhaps a midseason addition if he keeps training.

The Chiefs training camp is featured this year on HBO and Inside look. You can see it on demand. I watched one show and it that one Priest couldn't even participate in drills. It seemed like he was kind of a pitty invite, although they thought he could possibly be a situational 10 carry 3rd down type back if everything is OK.

Since we already have commited to a youth movement, I see no reason Ted would have ANY interest. Corey Dillon would make much more sense, but again I don't think Ted doesn't want to go with an old guy on his last legs.
