Holmes has had a rocky offseason to say the least, and the trade doesn't surprise me much considering his "the fans don't sign my checks" rant on Twitter.
That being said, his attitude is a perfect fit for the Jets' locker room. His life with the New York press should be even more interesting.
Reports have sprung up that Holmes will miss four games for either missing or failing a drug test. This is very risky move because Holmes has little or no regard for the drug testing program, as earlier this month he tweeted that he was going to "wake and bake".
The Steelers obviously don't want to continue to play Holmes' game. They shipped the former first round pick off to the Jets for just a fifth round pick. This gives them a hole in their receiving corps, but it is obvious that they were favoring locker room sanity over on the field talent.
This move signals that the Steelers aren't going to sit around and watch their organization's reputation be ruined. Ben Roethlisberger has heard this message loud and clear.
The Jets are obviously looking to win now as this is a move that is a high risk/high reward endeavor. Holmes has obviously gone rogue, and the Jets will have to reel him in.
