Did the Steelers make a mistake trading Santonio Holmes to the Jets for a 5th round draft pick?

No. Holmes is a distraction that the Steelers don't need. They have too many issues with bad behavior as it is. Anyone who ually aults a woman or does drugs of any kind should be kicked out of football, period. Big Ben will be suspended at least 4 games. What makes them believe they can do what they do and not be subjected to character ination? They are using bad judgment. The NFL has enough of that. Holmes to the Jets may or may not be a good move because he may be a negative influence there, as well. A 5th round pick is a good move because there are many unsung athletes who want to play football, pure and simple.
