Santonio Holmes is now a NY Jet *Merged*

[Jenky]

he is a good complement to edwards though if edwards gets ahold of his drop problem

Good compliment to the trio. Cotchery, Edwards, and Holmes.

5th RD pick???? are you frickin kiddin me???? reaaaaaaaaaaally>???

This is nothing but the Steelers telling their players that they won't tolerate the players getting into trouble with the law... they couldn't do it with Ben, so instead they dropped the hammer on Holmes...

Santonio Holmes-WR-Jets Apr. 11 - 11:31 pm et

The Jets have agreed to acquire Santonio Holmes from the Steelers, according to ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio. The New York Post reports the Steelers will get a fifth-round pick. A steal for the Jets, a strong statement by the Steelers, and an insane weekend for Holmes. PFT reported Saturday Holmes was headed for a four-game suspension, an item may have led directly to the Steelers giving up on him. The compensation says they just wanted to be rid of him. Holmes has a knucklehead factor - not unlike new teammate Braylon Edwards - but he's an elite deep threat and has far more consistent hands. We think Holmes has a better shot to get a long-term deal in New York than Edwards, although both players lose fantasy value in the short term. Mark Sanchez and Mike Wallace both get boosts.

it's not a steal if he's suspended for 4 games, the jets don't make the playoffs and holmes signs somewhere else next offseason.

then the trade is a footnote in holmes' career.

You really think they are going to let Holmes walk after trading for him?

Alright.

Sometimes I think you'd be happier if Dan Snyder was your owner. He makes all the splashy moves you crave.

Had the Skins make the exact same deal for Roy, we'd be excoriating Snyder and laughing at his misfortune.

How are the Jets getting all these steals?

He was a first round pick that has 20 tds in 4 years. 5 td's a year is about what Crayton gets us.

He is facing a 4 game suspension as well. Im just fine not trading for him.

I still think weve had a better off-season then them though

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Yep..

Dude, do you EVER have your own opinions.

3/4's of your posts on here is either "This" or "I agree" or "Yepp"

or my favorite.." "

That's not the point.

He is facing a 4 game suspension as well. Im just fine not trading for him.

He also had 1,248 yards receiving last year and was a Superbowl MVP.

Stop tryin to act like he's not tight.

I don't want to trade for him either.

I'm just simply pointing out the value and laughing at the Jerry apologists and people calling me "Dan Snyder"

 

[jobberone]

So we could have had Boldin for a 3rd or Holmes for a 5th (don't really want Holmes but still). Why aren't we getting any such deals?

Which tells you what they think about RW and Olgetree. And makes me wonder if they would actually draft Dez Bryant at all. Which, BTW, makes me wonder a little about the sanity of the front office.

Steelers dumping a potential problem - he might not even play for the Jets until Week 5.

I found out from Chad Ochocinco on Facebook :laugh1:

that's like 53 yards off Roy's career high..

Oh and he's got a Superbowl MVP trophy..

lol..for a 5th rounder..unreal.

 

[Muhast]

How could Jerry not feel extremely foolish

I mean a 3rd for Boldin

Peanuts for Braylon

a 5th for Santonio

Wow.

A 3rd for a player who can't stay healthy.

Peanuts for a player who can't catch the football

A 5th for a guy who can't stay out of trouble. How many issues has he had with drugs since college?

I'm good without any of those.

If you want to complain about the Pats stealing Moss, that's one thing. None of these 3 are like that.

David Clowney, Jets WR: Lord what am I doing wrong

LMAO.. he just tweet that right now?

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

That's not the point.

Im w/ you on your point.

The RW trade was a failure, agreed. Making fun of it is not the sign of jumping off the bandwagon.

Having said that- We are still run better than them.
