Some quotes on Holt: 8.15.2010. Patriots placed WR Torry Holt on injured reserve with a knee injury, ending his season. He'll need surgery on the knee, but this was essentially a nice way of the Pats telling Holt he wouldn't make the team. Now 34, Holt's career may be over. He's been unable to separate from defensive backs since the 2007 season, and was outplayed by youngsters Taylor Price and Brandon Tate in Patriots camp. It's quite possible that Holt's inability to play deep into his 30s will cost him a shot at the Hall of Fame. He made seven Pro Bowls with the Rams. 8.12.2010. ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss is the latest scribe to predict that Torry Holt will not make the Patriots' roster this season. 8.10.2010. Holt was already no better than sixth on the depth chart at wide receiver, and he offers no special teams value. At this point, he's far from a lock to make the final roster. 8.1.2010. SI.com's Don Banks believes Torry Holt could be fighting rookie Taylor Price for the final receiver spot this summer. Julian Edelman and Brandon Tate are considered "sure bets" to make the roster. As predicted, Holt has struggled to separate from corners early in training camp. 3.11.2010 Free agent Torry Holt continues to lobby for the Bears to sign him. Holt believes the marriage is an obvious fit because of his history in Mike Martz's offense. He also believes he'd come in and "beat quite a few of" the young receivers, which seems unlikely at his point in his career. The Bears have nothing to gain by bringing him in to block more explosive talents. "Absolutely I would consider coming to Chicago because of Coach (Mike) Martz," Holt said. "I have kept in contact with him. That's my guy." Holt also admitted that, "In (Martz's) system you've got to be able to run," which the player formerly known as "Big Game" hasn't been able to do well since the 2007 season. Released by the Jaguars says a lot, when they only have injury-prone Mike Sims-Walker thats worth anything on the roster.
