If they didn't find a trade partner they were apparently planning on releasing him.
Steelers were ready to cut Holmes before trade

League has made it official, Santonio Holmes will miss the first 4 games of the season for violating the substance abuse policy.

That is spin.
They wanna wash their hands with him because of legal issues, his mouth and the substance abuse and suspension. The Steelers weren't bitchin when he had over 1200+ yards recieving and was SB MVP a couple fo years ago.
he was also a SB MVP and getting a ton of yards a game. When you win, your little indescrestion not mean much.
NOW watch all the dirty laundry fly.....LOL! It's TOO predictable....
:
who will replace him? this draft is weak at the WR position. they will look into FA i guess or trade.I hate he went to the Jets :rant:
Hmmm, I just heard the guys on the NFL Network tonight talking about how deep the WR draft will be.
Ya, a friend reminded me that they resigned Randle El, that proves to be a good move, makes you wonder how long they have been thinking about moving Santonio
I think Holmes gets traded for continuing to get in trouble will illegal drugs, it's like the third time since he was drafted.
I didn't know Ben was charged...........
Rey,
HDMM just wants Ben off the field so his Browns have a PRAYER this year to win a few games.
James Harrison and Cedric Wilson, both accused of domestic violence. Nothing was done to Harrison, Wilson was released.
Kicker Jeff Reed, drunk in public, other offenses, received the franchise tag garauenteeing him a top 5 salary at his position, no team punishment due to the nearly unique mastery of Heinz field that some kickers never get down.
Santonio Holmes, multiple offenses leading up to his latest rash of stupidity (excluding the bar incident that will probably be dropped), traded for more or less a paper bag with J-E-T-S 2008 crossed out and 'STELERS' written on it. Pre-cut eye holes too.
Big Ben, 3rd consecutive offseason in trouble (at least the last two he probably 'wore a helmet') - would be surprised to see the Steelers actually do anything meaningful about it.
If you're a star, they find a way to look past it. If you're replacable, off you go.
This team is in trouble, Mike Wallace is now number 1, and if he goes down they have no deep threat (with 2 and 3 being Ward and Limus 'Braylon' Sweed). They've signed veterans to the team in a win-now approach that has been sabatoged by their own 'this is a message' trade of Santonio, with Ryan Clark, Charlie Batch, Nick Eason, Larry Foote and Antwaan Randle-El being signed or re-signed.
26th pick in 2006, Super Bowl MVP in 2008, best season of his career with 1249 yards over 79 receptions in 2009, and then traded for the 151st pick in the 2010 draft. Just amazing. And embarassing really given how much has been given up for WRs this offseason in trades, and this is one of the top 5 guys in your team and you had to move him for a 5th.
Or who knows, maybe they'll surprise us all and meaningfully punish Big Ben, or perhaps they'll just say the media attention was enough, say 'shame on you', and hope that all the bad blood leaves town with Holmes.
Unlikely.

lol, Holmes claimed tonight his Twitter acct was hacked when he told someone to kill themselves...
who ever said that i hope they're right. lord knows we need plenty of help at that position.
I would imagine this happens in most cities.
I don't even think Sweed is on the team any longer, there was talk about releasing him earlier, not sure if this happened or not though.
Steelers will get it together and win thier typical number of games this year.
