Santonio Holmes traded to JETS!!!

[DynastyRTR]

good news for us, we have a better shot at Tate, Benn, and Thomas

[scpanther22]

I understand us not getting him.But lets not act like we are so above Santonio.The guy is a playmaker and this is a steal for the jets

The Steelers are in the market for a WR now, but they have more pressing needs. They wont take one in the first.

Go ahead and pencil in Golden Tate to the Steelers.

[SmootsDaddy89]

They need an ILB far more than a WR, even with this trade.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Tate slides to the second round for sure now...

[Samuel L. Jackson]

...unless we trade into the late first (Jets?)

[Panthro]

If they had 3 1st round picks the steelers still wouldn't pick a WR....OLine, OLine, and OLine.

True. They REALLY need a tackle who can protect Rapelisburger's blind side.

[Murph]

Yea but the Jets now have 2 WR's that will want #1 Money.

Jets are thinking short term. They are a superbowl favorite going into this season and they are going all in to get there. Sort of like the Panthers this time last year. They better hope Sanchez doesnt have a sophmore slump or their results will mirror the Panthers.

I'll take that Pepsi Challenge.

If anyone had any hopes that we would trade for a receiver who's been arrested 3 times already, is currently under investigation and specifically said he wanted to go to a big market team, I'm not sure which team you've been watching for the past few years.

Why is this so hard for some here to understand? This ain't Madden guy's!

[pantherclaw]

Wow.

Didn't see this coming. Jets sure are gambling.

Things like this and the Randy Moss trade make you wonder what value can be had if you really look for it. If you can get a Santonio holmes( even with his 4 game suspension) for a fifth certainly we can find someone who has some production with one of our late rounders. There are teams with young talented WRs who are buried on the depth chart that could probably do good things here. I'm hoping Fox/Hurney bag a winner in the draft but their history drafting WR's doesn't leave me with a whole lot of confidence. Are you telling me that with a WR deep team like GB we couldn't get a james Jones or Jordy nelson with a 5th or 6th rounder? With Donte Stallworth and Anquan Boldin coming to Baltimore could Mark Clayton be available? Maybe for the right price. Fact is with a record like our current FO has had with drafting WRs, you can't just hope they work out. We need insurance. Even if he turns out to be a good pickup, injuries or off-the field issues can always rear its ugly head. What if (god forbid) Smitty gets injured and we have to throw Dwayne Jarret or Kenneth Moore in.
