I feel sorry for the guy that gotta do contracts after this upcoming season though...
Santonio will be a FA, so will Braylon Edwards and important guys on out O-Line - D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Nick Mangold.
Wonder how this will go...

[h1]King: Santonio trade is a "shot across the bow to Big Ben"[/h1]
Posted by Mike Florio on April 11, 2010 11:51 PM ET
The Twitter servers are being overloaded this evening as word spreads like wildfire of the trade that sent Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes to the New York Jets.
Ironically, the move comes only days after Ken Laird of ESPN 1250 in Pittsburgh reported that Holmes didn't believe the Steelers will pay him big money, and thatHolmes wanted to play in a big market.
And so the former Buckeye is now paired with a former Wolverine, Braylon Edwards. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) They'll both be catching passes from a former Trojan, while a former Horned Frog sits at the end of the bench and pouts.
Meanwhile, Peter King of SI.com and NBC put it best in characterizing the move: "A shot across the bow to Big Ben." King also points out that the Steelers could have played this out for something more than a fourth-round pick, but that the Steelers opted to get it done, displaying a "we're not gonna take it anymore attitude."
We're also wondering whether the Steelers pulled the trigger on the deal so quickly because they fear there's a chance that, come 2:00 p.m. E.T. on Monday, they'll get another dose of bad news from District Attorney Fred Bright, ESPN's report on the matter notwithstanding.
Either way, the stakes for Monday's press conference just went way, way up. If Roethlisberger gets charged, he could be the next one to be traded for a cold turkey sandwich with wilted lettuce.

Even with the possible suspension, Santonio's hands > Braylon's come crunch time/playoffs

This is true, which way do you go now? Dez Bryant should go first, then we either stay with the WR position picking up Demaryius Thomas or the DE with Jared Odrick? We shall see, all I know is we are stacked!Originally Posted by airmaxpenny1

So the Steelers got rid of Holmes to prove a point to Ben.
That's funny, last I checked smoking weed and *allegedly* tossing glasses is nowhere close to being as bad as *allegedly* raping multiple women.

I guess with possibly only 1 strike from a year long suspension they decided to cut their ties before he could mess up.
Still a steal.

As the New York Jets welcome Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes to town, they should be very concerned about how much of him they'll actually see.
Given our report from Saturday that Holmes is facing a four-game suspension for violation of the substance abuse policy, the move means on the surface that the Jets will have to prepare to perform without Holmes for the first 25 percent of the 2010 season.
It also means that, if the suspension sticks, Holmes will be one false move away from a one-year suspension.
Assuming, based on his history with marijuana (and his recently stated intention to "wake n bake"), that Holmes' violations flow from an inability to quit smoking pot, he could become the NFL's next Ricky Williams -- a guy who loves weed more than he loves playing football.
If that's the case, it's unclear whether the Jets will see much of Holmes on the field at all, in 2010 or beyond.

Ture and he is facing an issue from a Florida night club ordeal! They have tape of someone else admitting to throwing a drink at a patron in the night club protecting Santonio and they have turned it over to the DA. Who knows what the outcome is, I really don't think it is going to be a 4 to 8 game suspension for that substance abuse issue!

I can't be the only immature one who thought this was funny. Braylon got more eye candy
The Seinfeld reference put it over the top.

someones mad...
Ochocinco's immediate response was to tweet "Can someone please explain why the Pittsburgh Steelers traded Santonio Holmes to the Jets?"
A few minutes later, the NFL's court jester sent this tweet to @nflcommish, the official Twitter account of Roger Goodell:
"Mr. Goodell the NY Jets are unfairly loading their team up with great players like the Yankees do, we need to stop this now!"
