How do you know those teams weren't interested? Maybe the Jets were just more aggressive and made a deal before anyone else? For all we know the Panthers were interested and simply were beaten to it.

Maybe I missed an article from every team that declared no interest.

we don't need santonio holmes. we need a WR that is going to show up, stay clean, and not get suspended for a season.

we need a better WR. holmes isn't that. we DO NOT want to have to rely on him. we are much better off without that headache even without adding anyone (which we will be).

you can not overlook the risk involved...even for a 5th rounder. evidently 29 teams in the league feel the same way...probably would have been more if the steelers had called their division rivals.

teams don't want that guy on their rosters.

But we should rely on a rookie who has done nothing in the NFL. Or a WR who in 3 years has a whooping 1 td and less then 20 catches. Wow I see GM talent writing all over you.

Also the 29 team thing. Well 26 teams passed on Warren Sapp and 19 on Randy Moss. So the 29 team thing doesn't mean that 29 teams don't feel stupid and alot of those team don't have the down right ugly WR situation that we have.

I call BS on that

It's not that big a stretch, not at all.

How about a guy who's gotten three arrests in three years?

Sapp and Moss were bypassed in the draft for character concerns. Holmes has a criminal record as a pro. He's already out four games and one more incident could send him packing for eight games to a year (or more, if it's severe enough).

This is not someone you want to have to depend on.

Burress was instrumental in the Giants' Super Bowl win. I'd say he was worth the risk.

Hey, speaking of low-character guys making game-winning catches in the Super Bowl ...

I wouldn't call him "instrumental" in that game. I'll give you that he contributed. But then the next season, he was gone and left the franchise with a black eye and a gaping hole in their receiving corps.

And seriously, when you think about it, what team needs a "bad boy" receiver with domestic violence charges on his record less than the Panthers, given prior history?
