The Facts:
Holmes restructured his contract by taking his 2006 pay from $3.75 million to $710,000 to give his team cap relief. That's a deal often done by a player who is going to be a June 1 cap casualty. The Chiefs have no plans to cut Holmes, but the uncertainty about his future because of back and neck problems caused the reduction.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Holmes is still undergoing tests to determine if he can play. He won't know for months, and odds are starting to build up that he might have to retire. But the Chiefs don't want to cut him. According to ESPN.com insider John Clayton, team president Carl Peterson is Holmes' biggest supporter and won't do anything that would demean Holmes by releasing him.
