Let me get this straight! Santonio Holmes, a former first round draft pick and Super Bowl MVP has been traded by the Steelers to the JETS for a 5TH ROUND DRAFT PICK?
Now I know Holmes got into a little trouble because he threw a drink in a womans face but….DAMN!
According to Yahoo! Sports this trade was done to send a message to Ben Roethlisberger who has been accused of sexual assault twice now, “More importantly, the message (which SI’s Peter King has already described as “shot across the bow to Big Ben”) gets through, too, and the Steelers can take a baby step back towards being viewed as an organization that only employs football players of decent character.” (Yahoo! Sports)
Today, however, the Ocmulgee Circuit District Attorney Fred Bright said that the charges could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt and “We are not condoning Mr. Roethlisberger’s actions that night but we do not prosecute morals. We prosecute crimes.”
