They're fine at receiver. With that said this is a HORRIBLE trade. This is like reverse Vinny where instead of giving up to much you sell for to little.

The Jets on the other hand are starting to look like the Lions a couple of years ago with three quality recievers (Edwards, Holmes, Cotchery), a quality Tight End, and a young QB from the west coast. Hopefully it'll end up better for them then it did for Detroit. If Sanchez can't succeed with that receiving core and O-Line then he doesn't deserve to play in the NFL.

By the way, just like Pittsburgh to steal our thunder. Here we are celebrating the one week anniversary of the McNabb trade and their go the Steelers, so desperate for attention they trade their star receiver for a Ham Sandwich and a draft pick.

I don't think the Lions had a defense like the Jets do. Although, in order for them to succeed, Sanchez has got to be efficient with the passing game, since I think their running game won't be as good as last year's with just Shonn Greene (unless Leon Washington is healthy and LT doesn't decompose).

If they teach him how to run forward I am going to be ticked!

What a dumb move by the Steelers. I'm sure they won't show Big Ben the same courtesy. Despite his charges being far more serious than Santonio's.

dumb trade? hell, the way he is going, he will be out of the league soon. seems like he would rather burn one, then follow the rules

[Chico23231]

Another good move by the Jets organization...a 5th round pick? great value

[tryfuhl]

there are some talks that Leon Washington could be heading to the Steelers as well, but since he hasn't signed his tender yet they can't really do much with that

Those were just rumors.

They'll go after either Dez Bryant or Golden Tate in the draft, whoever is available when they pick at #17.

Why not a younger running back or a playmaking safety?

They've got Mendenhall and Palumalu and Ryan Clark, Wallace is good, Sweed hasn't done squat, Hines Ward and Randle El are old.

The Steelers must have really been sick of his act because they pretty much threw him out with Monday's trash. Once Holmes is exposed to everything NYC has to offer it wont be long before he's in trouble again.

I've had tons of friends like that. They do stupid s**t and before they do it they always come up with this half-baked explanation to avoid trouble if they get caught, which according to them won't happen anyway. Then after they do get caught they watch in amazement as no one believes their well thought out story. Brandon Marshalls explanation as to why he had his elbow go through a TV set (which wasn't a flat screen) was due to the 'fact' that he slipped on a McDonalds rapper.
