i think they could have gotten higher pick for him. He had 79 rec 1200+yards and 5TD last year. Its a very good pick for jets and really doesnt cost them high pick...

mike t.just made a teriffic heist in obtaining holmes for only a 5th round pick
now you have coutchery,edwards,holmes and tucker in the tight end position..wow
now they need to do in the draft is go defense(pass rusher or mlb)

wonder what holmes did for the steelers to give hom the boot? They usually trade trouble makers ex =Plaxico. If Ben wasnt a qb no doubt he would have been out of their by now. Sure looks like a dumb trade from the steelers point of view but im sure their is something else to the story

Wasn't Holmes in trouble for something a week or two ago? Something woman related i think.

He allegedly threw glass at women face but i think somebody else has taken responsibility for that....

Yeah, and I think Pittsburgh is just fed up with their players' off the field drama. Roethlisberger has been living on the edge for awhile now, and I think Santonio's problems (whether he did anything or not) just put them over the top.

They had to make atleast one bad apple to move but cant move big time QB. so, holmes was the one to go...

Its been reporting that he will be suspended first 4 games next year but thats still not bad deal for jets.

he may have failed a drug test or failed to take it. which will lead to a 4 game suspension. He was benched last year for a positive marijuana test. Also hearing rumors on steelers fan board that leon Washington may be part of the trade(though i havent heard that anywhere else) Also his contract was due next year and no way would the steelers pay out of the *** for him. I guess they think wallace will step up and they picked up randle el .

i like that kid, did well for a rookie
