Priest Holmes is threatening to sit out the Kansas City Chiefs' season opener unless he gets a new contract or an extension. "I want to get paid," Holmes was quoted as saying in Thursday's Kansas City Star. "I'll be ready to go when training camp starts, and I'm looking forward to getting on the field and helping the Kansas City Chiefs win a championship."

But the team's opener against San Diego on Sept. 7 is another matter for the star running back.

In an interview with WHB Radio on Wednesday, Holmes requested the 50 Cent track In Da Club and joked "that's where I'll be" if he doesn't receive a new contract by the opener.

"I understand that there are another 50-some guys that need money, so I don't want to be greedy," Holmes told the newspaper. "I didn't come here for a two-or-three-year thing. I feel confident that the Chiefs will do what it takes to make me happy." Click for more (http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/6474472)
