Holmes traded to jets.

Classic buying low scenario. Who else do they have though? Hines Ward is getting up there in years, and Limas Sweed hasn't done a thing. Maybe they're really high on Mike Wallace? Holmes was a 25th overall pick a few years ago, is a legit deep threat, and was Super Bowl MVP just a season ago. A 5th rounder to me seems like they're dumping a bad apple for whatever they can asap.

They really like Mike Wallace

They should have asked us if we wanted him. I'm sure we'd of given our 4th this year and next years 5th.

Since we can't get to the Super Bowl we need players who have been there to tell our players and fans all about it. We could market our Super Bowl tandem of McNabb & Holmes...lol.

Come on Skinny, you cant talk trash on our organization every time we make a move. If McNabb makes it to the PB and we are in the playoffs you won't be talking trash.

f santonio holmes. the steelers are declining no doubt about it.

Interesting move by the Jets. I still think the Jets will take a WR relatively high in the draft because looking at that roster it's the one weak spot.

Like someone else said I think the Jets are the primary SB contender from the AFC. That defense will be unbelievable we the return of injured guys and addition of Cromartie. The offense can only get better too.

HOLMES TRADED TO JETS for a 5th RD pick in 2010 - Page 2 - Steelers Fever Forums (http://forums.steelersfever.com/showthread.php?t=50271&page=2)
So happy watching people from Pittsburgh freak out. Yeah I know the Redskins and Steelers aren't rivals and it wouldn't be close the last few years if they were but there is a certain hockey team that I love to hate.

Seems like a low-risk/high reward for the Jets. Now Sanchez has Braylon Edwards, Jericho Cotchery, and Dustin Keller to throw the ball while being protected by that all pro offensive line. Honestly, the only mistake I think the Jets did, was letting Thomas Jones go and downgrading to LT.

I guess the Steelers got rid of a troublemaker, but now they have no one for their troublemaker QB to throw the ball to.

Not quite. Wallace is AT LEAST decent, and can only get better.

Ok, they have ONE person that can catch.

Mike Wallace had 756 yards on 39 receptions and 6 TD's. Hines Ward got a 1,000+ yards last year, Heath Miller is healthy again, and they got back ARE who is a solid 3rd reciever.

They're fine at receiver. With that said this is a HORRIBLE trade. This is like reverse Vinny where instead of giving up to much you sell for to little.

The Jets on the other hand are starting to look like the Lions a couple of years ago with three quality recievers (Edwards, Holmes, Cotchery), a quality Tight End, and a young QB from the west coast. Hopefully it'll end up better for them then it did for Detroit. If Sanchez can't succeed with that receiving core and O-Line then he doesn't deserve to play in the NFL.

By the way, just like Pittsburgh to steal our thunder. Here we are celebrating the one week anniversary of the McNabb trade and their go the Steelers, so desperate for attention they trade their star receiver for a Ham Sandwich and a draft pick.

I don't think the Lions had a defense like the Jets do. Although, in order for them to succeed, Sanchez has got to be efficient with the passing game, since I think their running game won't be as good as last year's with just Shonn Greene (unless Leon Washington is healthy and LT doesn't decompose).
