Steelers ship Santonio to the Jets

What a strange weekend it has been for Santonio Holmes.

Yesterday, we reported that Holmes is facing a four-game suspension under the substance abuse policy. Tonight, we're told that the Steelers have traded Holmes to the New York Jets.

More to come.

[PECKERWOOD]

Just saw this, what did they have to give up for him?

[The Spaz]

For a fifth round pick in this year's draft.

[patmoran2006]

yeah.. thats a big wow.

[PECKERWOOD]

For a fifth round pick in this year's draft..............................

[patmoran2006]

Only a 5th rounder.

[Philagape]

AP has it

[BILLSROCK1212]

Well, opening day the Jets will only have Cotchery at WR.

[The Spaz]

Move the Sticks thinks the Steelers are now in play for GT receiver Thomas.

[PECKERWOOD]

...............................a 5th?

[ZAZusmc03]

WTF is going on. I can't believe that.

[PECKERWOOD]

That's a trade scenario that Paladin Warrior or Mitchell55 would come up with... Speaking of such?? WTF are those two? They must be working some magic in that NYJ FO.

[BuffaloBlitz83]

Jets are going to win this division. They are loaded.

[Buffalogic]

Wow. What is pit doing?

[BillsFanCupp38]

It sounds unbelievable but i know bills fans are the most knowledgable fans out there :)

[TacklingDummy]

It will be a miracle if the Bills don't finish in last.

[PECKERWOOD]

It will be a miracle if the Bills don't finish in last.

I agree, it will be between us and Miami. :ill:

:ill:

:ill:

:ill:

[wmoz11]

I'm not sure which team to say "**** you" to.

[BILLSROCK1212]

Shockingly enough, we are the team best prepared to defend the Jets.

[Philagape]

Shockingly enough, we are the team best prepared to defend the Jets.

Well a defense can only improve from 567 yards rushing allowed in two games ....

[BILLSROCK1212]

I was referring to the pass defense, but in terms of that then yes.

[CuseJetsFan83]

ok as a jets fan, im just puzzled........ but a 5th for a super bowl MVP.. i guess i'd take it

[SirMcGee]

If the Jets had a competent QB, they'd take the Super Bowl.

[EricStratton]

I have to wonder if Pittsburgh knows there is more coming down the line in the Holmes saga?

[BillsWin]

**** the Jets!

[Michael82]

You gotta be ****ing kidding me! Who the hell is Rex Ryan blowing to get all these ridiculously cheap trade deals. First they give up hardly anything to move up for Sanchez, then they give up only a little bit for Edwards. Now they basically take some lube and shove it right up the Steelers ass! A 5th rounder??? WTF! :mad:

[mikemac2001]

what if dez bryant falls to us anyway a trade down with PITT????

just thinking draft

idk when pitt picks or there picks but was thinking maybe they would give up something for an elite WR

[DraftBoy]

There has to be more to this story...no way Holmes goes for a 5th alone...

[PECKERWOOD]

Ehh, for a 5th round pick, they used no lube and then shoved it up Pittsburgh's ass, Mikey.

[Dying_-2-_Live]

Why dont the Bills ever make moves like this :(

[Oaf]

Why dont the Bills ever make moves like this :(

[CuseJetsFan83]

rumor from pft and a few other sources is that leon washington may be a part of a "future" considerations part....

[Michael82]

Good point PECKERWOOD...no lube was used. It's actually like the Jets first wrapped it in sandpaper...:ill:

[SaviorEdwards]

LOL best of luck mckelvin and mcgee

[CuseJetsFan83]

LOL best of luck mckelvin and mcgee

santonio will most likely be suspended, and braylon edwards is stone hands..... if we lose washington that hurts us a ton...

[Bling]

I pray you do. I can't stand rooting for a Jet.

[rcd333]

Wow the jets are playing video games over there

but do they plan on fitting back under cap with all those players?
They have big deals coming up to Mangold, d'brick, Harris and Revis.

plus both holmes and braylon edwards contracts end this year and you would think they would want big deals.

Perhaps if they front load the contracts in the uncapped year?

the Las Vegas Saburz will offer you a 6th rounder (#4) for Driver in the Sim League.

[Night Train]

I have to wonder if Pittsburgh knows there is more coming down the line in the Holmes saga?

That should be everyones first thought. You don't give away a SB MVP and All-Pro WR unless there is far more to the story that has yet too be told.

To be continued.

[TacklingDummy]

QB don't mean anything. It's all about the line.

[patmoran2006]

There has to be more to this story...no way Holmes goes for a 5th alone...

There is.

1. He's in last year of his contract.

2. PIttsburgh doesn't want to pay him

3. Pittsburgh is sick of dealing with him

4. He faces a four game suspension to start season


Rex Ryan thinks he can reform anyone. Obviously if this pans out, this is a crazy steal for the Jets.

I dont think 1 & 2 are big factors. He's not the top paid WR in the league despite very godo numbers. Its 3 and 4 that matter and a 5th...they think he'll screw up again and soon.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Plus he will most likely be suspended for 4 games I heard. The guy is even more of a thug than Marshawn, who by the way we would be fine with getting a 5th round pick for.

[trapezeus]

Do you think the NFL schedule makers might give us a break and give us the jets on week 2 and 3 or 3 and 4 so that we don't have to face the jets at their absolute best?

[Mr. Pink]

QB don't mean anything. It's all about the coaching.

Fixed it for you! :up:

[ZAZusmc03]

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/04/12/leon-washington-can-be-part-of-trade-package-only-after-signing-his-tender/

Not to mention PFT is saying that rumors are flying around that leon washington could be part of the package if/when he signs his tender.

[justasportsfan]

I wonder if Pitts dangled Holmes out there for a trade to teams outside of it's division. They could have had more than a 5th and I wonder which teams said no, including the bills.

[BuffaloBlitz83]

QB don't mean anything. It's all about the line.

You are ******ed. Look at the champions. Brees, Big Ben, Eli Manning, Peyton, Brady. Is it a coincidence that these great QB's keep winning and the average, mediocre ones don't? QB is a very important position.

If the Jets had a elite franchise QB last year like any of above, they'd have won SB.

[BuffaloBlitz83]

They said on ESPN, Rooney was so angry and tired of Holmes that he was close to flat out cutting him!

Wow! That's crazy!

[RockStar36]

Wow! That's crazy!

Not crazy, respectable.

Nice to see an owner stand up to his thug players. It will be interesting to see if they do anything with Ben.

[chernobylwraiths]

So, who is going to throw to him?

[SeatownBillsFan21]

Am I missing somthing here ? I don't even think he's all that good

[ServoBillieves]

Down here in Picksburgh, they're speculating that it was mostly due to the last year/4 game suspension thing. He's getting paid for 12 games, and the Rooney's didn't want to deal with that. Also, with Ben already in the hot seat, they didn't need another cancer in the locker room, so they took what they could get.

[The Spaz]

He just received his 4 game suspension.

[SirMcGee]

This is a 2011 5th round pick from what i heard.

[SirMcGee]

QB don't mean anything. It's all about the line.

Ooooh really? I beg to differ.

[SirMcGee]

Am I missing somthing here ? I don't even think he's all that good

Then you've never seen the Steelers play.

[TonyIncredible]

really still not an impact. He was great in Pittsburgh but that was Pittsburgh. They had Big Ben the jets have an interception machine in Sanchez. The only thing the Jets have going for them is their Raven style Defense that Rex brought over. Can't wait to see how many times Sanchez gets picked off by byrd this coming season lol. I will say this the Bills finish 2nd this year mark it down. If they don't ill eat crow
