ESPN New York expects the Jets to release Santonio Holmes.

Gang Green can save $8.25 million against the salary cap by releasing Holmes and his $10.75 million cap hit. Holmes is due a $1 million roster bonus on March 13, but we'd expect the Jets to cut ties with the soon-to-be 30-year-old before then. Once the Jets release Holmes, Mark Sanchez, and Antonio Cromartie, they'll have over $40 million in cap space. Cromartie could re-sign.

just noting since he played during schotty's tenure and he knows the system....no other connection than that, but i wouldn't be surprised to see us having interest

Hahahaha I remember when Steeler fans hated the decision to trade him.

OVERRATED.

 

[BigRamFan]

I hope not. I, personally, am not interested in an old(er) and oft injured WR who seemed not to have a big desire to get back onto the field.

 

[ausmurp]

We we definately need an older WR to help coach up these young guys. Maybe Holmes is the guy. I'd take him for vet min.

 

[BigRamFan]

43 receptions while playing in 15 games the past 2 years. What exactly would he be teaching them?

Exactly.

Why bother with a guy who is not able to contribute just because 7 years ago he was considered dangerous lol.

I don't want to waste any of our scarce resources on a WR unless their salaries don't become one of our top 51.

i'm not advocating signing him - just to be clear... i'm just saying in 2 months i wouldn't be surprised we sniff around his services if he's willing to go cheap..i'd rather have maclin but i'm just sayin don't be surprised if there's a link

I want Byrd. If we only have money for one guy, it's Byrd.

 

[RFIP]

No thank you!

 

[Thordaddy]

He threw one QB under the bus, I don't need it

 

[Ramhusker]

Yeah, I think the dude is done. Can't afford a roster spot for him. A couple of years ago, sure.

 

[RFIP]

Steelers made the right decision on him and Wallace, like they usually do.

 

[OhioRam]

I think the steelers missed Wallace last season Rfip and Holmes had 2 really good years with the jets after that trade just been hurt to date....if he
stays happy I'll love to have him for a year
