MattFancy Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/04/11/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. Well I guess he won't make his debut til around week 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Started thread at basically same time, mods merge I am kind of surprised they would do this but hey, the guy has gotten into legal problems of late and they probably were like enough of that bull**** trade him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 The Jets are overrated IMO, I guess they are in the Win Now Mode. Smart move by the Steelers, that means its almost 100% that my boy Golden Tate is a steeler next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 The news came over so quick when I was hanging out on another forum that I didn't have time to really post another link. That is, if you all are interested in looking at that hockey forum link I got the info from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I understand why the Jets are in a win now mode. They have a championship defense and their star QB is entering year two. If they can get the offense to produce points they will be hard to deal with in the post season. They got far last year and every reason to believe they are within striking distance. The Steelers don't mess around either. If this wasn't a QB league or they had a real prospect at QB big Ben would be out as well IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Am I reading PFT correctly that the compensation was a fifth round pick? I'm looking forward to our young recievers playing with McNabb but I would have fully supported a fifth for Santonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NO iD=A-Ok Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 For a 5th rounder??? Sheez...I wouldn't have been mad if the Skins did that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeypeet Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 PFT is saying a 5th round pick for Homes. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Wow, I know he has issues but he had 79 catches and 1248 yards last year with 5 TDs A FIFTH round pick is all they could get for someone who puts up #1 wideout numbers? wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail-to-da-skins-21 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 so based off this trade we should be able to get Brandon Marshall using our 4th rd pick lol jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRNY4ZRNY Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I dont get this at all. Is it because of legal problems. I mean a 5th is usually a bust in the NFL and Santonio Holmes is a playmaking WR. I would have given up our 4th for him in a heartbeat. Jets are on hard knocks this year. Gonna be interesting. Jets should be good next year if Sanchez preforms well. Revis and Cromartie, Edwards and Holmes, their 1st round pick and possibly Jason Taylor. With Shawn Greene sounds like a playoff team to me. and Lt.

renaissance Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Jets are making a lot of flashy offseason moves this year. I don't really get why seeing as they were pretty successful last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunClintonRun26 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hell of a deal for the Jets IMO. The guy can flat out play and produce. He shows up in big games and always seems to find the first down or endzone when it matters. Sure, he apparently has some off-the-field issues . . . but I can see Rex Ryan taking care of that pretty quickly. If Mark Sanchez continues to develop and takes that large step between his rookie and sophomore seasons, the Jets should be even better next year. I think they'll take a hit in the running game by losing Jones, but Shonn Greene looked pretty damn good last year. And add a healthy Leon Washington and Tomlinson to take some of the carries and they shouldn't lose too much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailinginSeattle Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Jets made it to the conference championship game last year, and they'v made a few solid moves this off season. With Sanchez going into his second year, Braylon Edwards in his second year there, plus adding Holmes and Tomlinson (don't think he's really an upgrade over Thomas Jones, but Green is pretty good going into his second year) and that defense which added whoever they added, lol, I think it may have been Cromartie, correct me if I'm wrong, I know it was someone solid to supplement Reves on the opposite side. They're looking like a strong contender in the AFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman#21 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hes a nut job, and i dont know how this will affect the team chemistry but a 5th is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoGravity Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Absolutely disgusting. I've been ranting on the Steelers board for the last hour. Another pisspoor move by our front office. We should have gotten AT LEAST a 3rd for a former SB MVP and a receiver that produced 1200 yards just entering his prime. Every move Tomlin and Colbert have made this year has just angered me to no extent. I'm about to fly over there and strangle both of them if we draft Dez Bryant in the first. I guess the Steelers figured they weren't going to extend him in his final year and since he may only play 12 games, you might as well get what you can get. Still very stupid. Now Ben is going to be working with Wallace, Hines, Randle El, Sweed, and Battle. Sounds like an 5000 yard passing year to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrine Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 This trade seems to point to the Steelers being convinced hes guilty and may very well be missing game time because of it. He put up over 1200 yards last year, so to only get a 5th round pick means that NFL teams must expect that he will be missing a LOT of time. Otherwise, someone would have offered the Steelers a 4th.

G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I've always felt that Tomlin's success was really with Cowher's team. Kind of like Gruden in Tampa with Dungy's team. Be interesting to see where they go when Cowher's stamp is gone. I think it began to fade last year, hence watching the playoffs from home. And Steelers fans (for the most part, no offense NG) are almost as annoying and douchey as Cowboy fans so I hope it's an epic failure. Oh and Holmes for a 5th is freaking ridiculous. A suspension isn't good but it's four games. Not a year. Either Tomlin/Colbert are flat out morons or Holmes is the biggest ******* headache in history. Maybe a combination of the two.

Enter Apotheosis Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 A 5th rounder? That's going overboard to protect the integrity of team character, IMHO. I suppose if you want to look on the bright side it means they have a lot of confidence in Mike Wallace's ability to fill the void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IS guhn RAIN Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yea the jets just got even better. Shonn greene, LT, and leon washington at rb. Excellent o-line. Braylon, Santonio, and Cotchery at WR. An excellent defense who got even better by adding cromartie to complement revis. It all depends on if sanchez can not screw things up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
