Torry Holt out for year (IR); done for career?
In addition to signing two players (including receiver Buddy Farnham) and releasing another, the Patriots placed wide receiver Torry Holt on season-ending Injured Reserve (IR).
"It's a great disappointment for Torry," [Kennard] McGuire (Holt's agent) said. "He saw this as a terrific chance to play with another great quarterback and being coached by one of the all-time greats."
Before suffering the knee injury, however, his status on the roster wasn't a lock. If he were to be cut by the Patriots, they would have been the third team to cut him in three seasons. The Rams and Jaguars were the other two.
As Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston points out, the following are locks at receiver: Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Julian Edelman, Brandon Tate and rookie Taylor Price.
Holt spent the majority of his career as part of The Greatest Show on Turf in St. Louis with Isaac Bruce. Bruce, who retired this off-season, ranks second all-time in receiving yards (15,208) and Holt ranks tenth all-time (13,382).
So, is this it for Holt?
