OH THAT'S RIGHT!!! It's gonna be on the JETS!!! :up

If they didn't find a trade partner they were apparently planning on releasing him.

Steelers were ready to cut Holmes before trade

:haha:up:up:up

League has made it official, Santonio Holmes will miss the first 4 games of the season for violating the substance abuse policy.

Twitter / Santonio Holmes: @cheryldbowman time to wak ...

That is spin.

They wanna wash their hands with him because of legal issues, his mouth and the substance abuse and suspension. The Steelers weren't bitchin when he had over 1200+ yards recieving and was SB MVP a couple fo years ago.

 

[meStevo]

I don't think he had a twitter account to incriminate himself with back then

I don't think he had a twitter account to incriminate himself with back then

he was also a SB MVP and getting a ton of yards a game. When you win, your little indescrestion not mean much.

NOW watch all the dirty laundry fly.....LOL! It's TOO predictable....

who will replace him? this draft is weak at the WR position. they will look into FA i guess or trade.I hate he went to the Jets :rant:

Hmmm, I just heard the guys on the NFL Network tonight talking about how deep the WR draft will be.

 

[Jimbo]

The Steelers signed Battle and Randell El plus they had some draft players come in.

List of pre-draft player visits - 4-9

Ya, a friend reminded me that they resigned Randle El, that proves to be a good move, makes you wonder how long they have been thinking about moving Santonio

 

[Jimbo]

So Holmes gets traded for inappropriate Tweeting and Pig Ben gets a pass for raping (allegedly for the 2nd time)? Hmmm.

I think Holmes gets traded for continuing to get in trouble will illegal drugs, it's like the third time since he was drafted.

 

[Jimbo]

I didn't know Ben was charged........... there's no doubt he will face some punishment but unless he is charged,why would you expect any drastic moves by the team or the NFL? so far he's only guilty of being a moron. whether he's getting a free pass or not there is no way for you and I to know that

Rey,
HDMM just wants Ben off the field so his Browns have a PRAYER this year to win a few games.

Steelers have a history of dumping their disposable players and make excuses for their more valuable ones.

You care to expand on that post ?

 

[Jimbo]

The Steelers were forced to be proactive because of a few things. Santonio Holmes issues OFF the field issues and if I am not mistaken, he is a free agent after this year. I DO think the Steelers were sort of low balled by the Jets. a 5th pick??!!

This is a WARNING to Big Dumba$$ Ben....

EXACTLY ... thanks Salsa

James Harrison and Cedric Wilson, both accused of domestic violence. Nothing was done to Harrison, Wilson was released.

Kicker Jeff Reed, drunk in public, other offenses, received the franchise tag garauenteeing him a top 5 salary at his position, no team punishment due to the nearly unique mastery of Heinz field that some kickers never get down.

Santonio Holmes, multiple offenses leading up to his latest rash of stupidity (excluding the bar incident that will probably be dropped), traded for more or less a paper bag with J-E-T-S 2008 crossed out and 'STELERS' written on it. Pre-cut eye holes too.

Big Ben, 3rd consecutive offseason in trouble (at least the last two he probably 'wore a helmet') - would be surprised to see the Steelers actually do anything meaningful about it.

If you're a star, they find a way to look past it. If you're replacable, off you go.

This team is in trouble, Mike Wallace is now number 1, and if he goes down they have no deep threat (with 2 and 3 being Ward and Limus 'Braylon' Sweed). They've signed veterans to the team in a win-now approach that has been sabatoged by their own 'this is a message' trade of Santonio, with Ryan Clark, Charlie Batch, Nick Eason, Larry Foote and Antwaan Randle-El being signed or re-signed.

26th pick in 2006, Super Bowl MVP in 2008, best season of his career with 1249 yards over 79 receptions in 2009, and then traded for the 151st pick in the 2010 draft. Just amazing. And embarassing really given how much has been given up for WRs this offseason in trades, and this is one of the top 5 guys in your team and you had to move him for a 5th.

Or who knows, maybe they'll surprise us all and meaningfully punish Big Ben, or perhaps they'll just say the media attention was enough, say 'shame on you', and hope that all the bad blood leaves town with Holmes.

Unlikely.

 

[meStevo]

lol, Holmes claimed tonight his Twitter acct was hacked when he told someone to kill themselves...

Unlikely.

I would imagine this happens in most cities.

I don't even think Sweed is on the team any longer, there was talk about releasing him earlier, not sure if this happened or not though.

Steelers will get it together and win thier typical number of games this year.

Hey, let's not forget who got the last win in this game. CLE!!!
