Chiefs' discussions with T.O. on hold
By Rick Dean

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chiefs and the agent representing controversial receiver Terrell Owens met informally at the recent Senior Bowl college all-star game, but discussions about bringing Owens to Kansas City haven't advanced beyond that point.
"We were approached by his agent at the Senior Bowl and we had a visit -- a very short visit," coach Herm Edwards said Friday at a media briefing. "He hasn't gotten back to us since."
Edwards said he would have to meet with Owens before he could evaluate whether the outspoken player who was suspended by the Philadelphia Eagles this year could join the Chiefs without becoming a major distraction.
"We can all form our opinions about people, but until you sit in a room and actually talk to somebody, you're just getting other people's opinions," Edwards said. "But I won't bring players in here who will distract this team and take away from our chance of winning a championship."
Edwards continued to hold out hope that aging offensive linemen Will Shields and Willie Roaf will return to play in 2006. He also remains hopeful that Priest Holmes, who is scheduled for another neurological exam next week that will access his recovery from head and neck injuries, will return.
"I talked to Will, had a good conversation with him prior to going to the Pro Bowl, and I anticipate him coming back," Edwards said. "And from what I've heard about Willie, I anticipate him coming back.
"But that's today. It's easy for a guy to say he wants to come back now. The hard part comes when they're packing the truck to go to River Falls (and training camp)."
