Reiss: Holt gets an injury settlement

[JSn]

So he's a free agent again if he gets better. Hm.

My thought exactly. We did the same thing with Larry Centers, IIRC.

Knee surgery and quick recovery don't generally go together hand in hand.

I doubt the Patriots would have done this if they thought it would come back to bite them later in the season.

Maybe he disagrees re: needing surgery, or at least figures that he can put it off for one last season? That's what this would suggest to me, but I hope that it's not the case.

so, you hope he does need surgery ?

Hahaha, no. i hope that, if he does need surgery, he gets it.

Isaac called it first in a thread several days ago. The Centers effect.

Not quite..CLOSE...but Centers was never placed on IR..just cut..so not exactly the same...he came back when he was better..

The way Reiss writes it up makes it seem like he is free to sign with any other team. This would seem a little odd but I am not sure what the rules are on signing back with the team that you injury settled with but I am sure I will soon

Injury settlement for Torry Holt - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

Now, with Holt getting an injury settlement, he could potentially play this season for another club if he returns to full health.
