At this time, we consider this not to be a career-ending injury. The doctors have indicated that Priest's condition will improve by refraining from contact. As always, the health and well-being of our players is our utmost concern. Priest is a marvelously-talented performer and has been an extremely productive player as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.
More Quotes from Carl Peterson:
Obviously the biggest change for both of them coming back was the salary cap and free agency, ... Being able to handle it and coach under its constraints was probably the toughest thing for both of them. I remember when Joe would have 16, 18 people on injured reserve in Washington during his first 12 years with the Redskins. They were coaching to win now, but they were also building a team for next year, too, because you could do it that way. With the cap, it doesn't work like that any more.Carl Peterson
Chiefs president Carl Peterson was even less diplomatic. Lamar Hunt was the guy who founded (the AFL), ... Al Davis started in this league as an assistant coach. I don't know that Al Davis ... has ever really taken a moment to say to Lamar Hunt, Hey thank you, on behalf of myself and my family for starting the American Football League and allowing me an opportunity to do the things I've always wanted to do.'

There were other times when people tried to count him out and then he shocked and surprised everybody, so it's too early to say. I would just say right now, if he had to start the football season, he couldn't because the doctors have not cleared him for contact. But we don't have to start right now. We'll see where we are in June or July.

Priest is going to make good decisions. This guy is very unique. He does not expose a lot of himself whether he's running with the football or not. And I will not count him out on anything.

If (the military) wanted to build everything today, we don't have the work force to do it. Most of the work force would have to be brought into Guam.

Being unemployed is not good for an actor. No, it isn't, no matter how unsuccessful you are. Because you always remember getting fired from all the restaurants. You remember that stuff very, very strongly.
