Steelers trade Santonio Holmes for 5th Rounder

[Tom]

The Jets have gotten away with highway robbery this year.

3rd rounder for Cromartie and a 5th rounder for Holmes?

Is this a bad thing? Sorry don't follow those teams...

Super Bowl MVP 2 years ago...for a 5th rounder...and he's only been in the league 4 years....yeah that's robbery.

The Jets are not so quietly building up a pretty impressive list of Free Agents and trades. They've also apparently offered a contract to Jason Taylor who could sign by Wednesday. Add in Ladanian Tomlinson as well, they've made a lot of noise.

Well I do know that once these guys hit their prime it is all down hill from there and you know what happen to old merchandise, it can be bought and traded very cheaply...

He turned 26 about a month ago. Plenty of tread left on the tires.

He has had a few off-field problems and this is the last year on his contract, so all that contributed to a cheap selling price.

Pittsburgh gets rid of their criminals... Bam Morris? See ya. Santonio Holmes? See ya. Roethlisberger? NOT a criminal, but Tomlin will not tolerate another instance of his knuckleheadedness.

Was this highway robbery? He will be suspended for the first 4 games of this year, is facing huge legal issues with hitting a girl with a glass in a club so a possible longer suspension. That isn't what any team needs in a locker room. Talented or not, he is a cancer.

The NFL is weighing possible disciplinary action against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who met with league commissioner Roger Goodell one day after learning he won't be charged in the alleged sexual assault of a Georgia college student.

Roethlisberger described the Tuesday afternoon meeting in Manhattan as "very productive,'' but gave no hint whether he expects to be suspended or fined for several off-field incidents that damaged his reputation and angered the franchise he's led to two Super Bowl championships.

OK maybe Ben is innocent
Or he and his agent paid off every one involved.........
Just glad he is in Pittsburgh, Terry Bradshaw just loves him.

No need to be bitter. It's not Ben's fault that the team that tries to play in Houston can't do anything.
