  Hope they got a first for him
• dave

  first rounder? mcnabb, marshall, etc can't even draw a first rounder.
• buckeyes_woowee

  2010 5th round pick. Even with his legal problems this is a complete steal

  Bad bad bad bad trade for the Steelers
• jtownclassics

  Horrible trade for the Steelers. The Jets absolutely fleeced them in this trade.
• LJ

  

  A 5th for a Super Bowl MVP who is only 26 is such a terrible trade....
  
  Damn I am pissed.
• killer_ewok

  

  Just saw this on KDKA. Wow. Would've liked to have gotten a little more for him. A 5th rounder???? Boo....

  a 2nd or at the very least a 3rd.
• killer_ewok

  

  Well, the bad news for the Jets is that he'll probably only be available for 12 regular season games and they're gonna have to pay his ass big money to keep him after this season.

  If his legal problems get put passed him, absolute steal.
• Non

  

  Steelers must've just wanted him out as soon as possible.
  
  I hope they use some of the picks to move up and get Tate.
  
  They have four 5ths but can only trade two of them because the other two are compensatory.
  
  Maybe they can trade a 3rd and 5th or something like that.

  Hey Al,
  
  Steelers just got bent over and screwed by this deal. Now insert that Holmes is a bad apple to try to make it look better lol.
  
  Even if Holmes plays 12 games, he'll still make a great impact in the Jets offense especially if they make the playoffs once again. The Jets will be okay without him for 4 games, but they'll be very dangerous on offense for the rest of the 12 games plus the playoffs.

  Jets= Best O-Line
  Best Defense
  and now a top receiver
  
  
  FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
• Automatik

  

  Not happy with the trade, but screw it.
• spartan

  He was very good for the Steelers and he served his purpose but he wasn't going to be a Steeler after this season regardless with his contract situation. I guess a 5th rounder is better than nothing if you look at it that way.
• LJ

  

  LOL... wait... has anyone had this thought...

  No, its not better.
  
  You keep him on the team, have him play 12 games plus the playoffs assuming the Steerlers make it.
  
  Then you let him walk if he was truly going to leave anyways. What is the odds that a 5th rounder is going to turn into a solid starter?

  Are the Steelers sending a message? Ben, clean your shit up or you CAN GO TOO?
• CinciX12

  

  The Steelers get the 'Hi we are a bunch of dumb shits' award for this.
  
  5th round? Wow.
• Automatik

  

  I never question Pittsburgh's handling of stuff like this and I never will.
  
  They know what they are doing. Do I wish they would have got something better of deal? Hell yes! Will I lose sleep over it? No.
