So the Chiefs, Jags, Rams, Bears, Cowboys, skins, broncos woudl nto give upa 5th round pick for Holmes? Many say Pitt should have gotten more, however with 4 5th round picks, do not be surprised if 2 of these picks and a 2nd rounder is not offered to a team drafting in the top 5 on Friday so the Steelers can get a WR…..Golden Tate! ( if available)

How silly. It’s bad enough that we only got a 5th-round pick for a receiver worthy of at least a second-round pick. You think we should have downgraded to a 7th-round or 8th-round pick just to ship him to the other conference? Why? We’ve got no bad blood with the Jets. They’re not in our division. Shoot, they got Faneca! This is hardly comparable to the Vikes getting Favre. You are really getting annoying, Goob.

oh man now the JETS will definately win the SuperBowl…lets see they trade for a CB who has more kids then INTs last year, sign a washed up RB when they could have kept Jones. sign up for the HBO show, trying to sign JT, sign a loser but talented WR…I love it, can you say 7-9 for the most HIGHLY OVERRATED tean in the entire NFL. I cant wait to see this team self implode when the D will suck ass and their “FRANCHISE” QB has a HUGE sophmore jinx and LT winds up with less then 400 total yards – It gonna be great!
Dude worry about your own F’in team you dwell so much on ours for what? Your going to get an ulcer, don’t worry about Sanchez, he’ll be ok without you, you should really worry about Ireland, and Parcels and the rest of your regime you guys like to call them.

Attn”jetfan42″ – no shit that the fish have problems” -but I’ll take Ricky williams over any of your back hands down. As far as WR goes yes there are issues but I Im sure I will still see the sucky Ginn run by the overated Revis again and again. Im sure Davis/Smith will be better then him after their rookie year. Thing is they dont play in NY and get the attention that NY teams get. Remeber the Phins won the div 2 years ago and finished under 500 the next, mind you losing three winable games that they shit the bed against and two of those teams played in the SB.

“Let’s be honest here. The similarities between Holmes and Plaxico Burress are significant. And we all know how well that ended. Plaxico definitely cost the Steelers a higher pick for Holmes.”
As bad as the Plaxico mess ended, and I think even in hindsight Giants would do it all over again. After all they did win a super bowl, and didn’t even have to pay him after he got thrown in Rikers.

I didn’t get a call?

By: what the?

what the? — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 12:24:10 +0000

uh, when a guy tweets like S H did, I can imagine Colbert having to call all of the teams.
But steelers frazzled??? they went 9-7 and they lost those 7 games by a total of 35 points. 5 points a game – so Tomlin had the team in a position to win all of those losses. That to me speaks to individuals making plays.
tweak here and there. Maybe not the year they wanted obviously, but not warranting a frazzled definition.

sorry were not obsessed with the Jets like they are with us…. but i will say… they have one hell of a team and its going to be a dog fight with them for the AFC East title

my guess is…
with the latest signings of
- LT
- Cro “i got more kids then the USA staates” Martie
& Santonio “Weedz” Holmes
…the NEW JERSEY JESTS will be able to win the
NFL PRESEASON SUPERBOWL again
woooow, what a franchise
too bad that the Jests offense will suck balls without any running game.. Shanyce Green and LTee both suck…and i really hope the jests are dump enough to move Leon Washington (the only true playmaker left)

If only they could have traded him after the draft, they could have gotten a much higher pick next year.

Jets fans must be feeling a little bit queasy this morning… every year they and the Redskins contend for the “Best NFL Upgrades on Paper” Award.
Every year they both fall FAR short of the Super Bowl.
Picking up LT and Holmes must have them feeling like this is Groundhog’s Day with the same outcome looming once again. I’m more than happy to give them the award for most improved team on paper – knowing that no games are played on paper.
But overall I don’t think this is a bad trade… they’ve rented a talented player, and a turd of a person, for 12 regular season games in return for a 5th round pick. Given his 4 game suspension, off-field issues and expiring contract I’d say the Steelers did ok.
Although I don’t see Holmes assaulting Jet players the way he did the mother of his children, his “wake and bake” work ethic could have a negative impact in the locker room – but seeing as he’s entering a contract year he’ll probably be well behaved.

Attention Marino13, you have problems of your own. Holmes would have been the best reciever you guys have, old or injured running backs, and a Defense thats not that good….you guys will be lucky to see 7-9

“Still, as pointed out in a coming edition of PFT Daily, the Steelers should have shipped him to the NFC, even if it meant only taking a sixth-round pick or a seventh-round pick.”
Its amazing that a guy who has never played the sport, never coached a team, never managed one aspect of an NFL franchise and usually only has a few details of the situation continues to try and play the role Matt Millen.

why do the eagles continually get ripped for trading in the division. the pats did it years ago, sending bledsoe to buffalo. pretty sure that worked out just fine. something about bad organizations staying bad, regardless of overhyped qbs.
