The Pittsburgh Steelers trade Santonio Holmes to the Jets in the middle of the night

The Steelers have sent 26-year old former Super Bowl MVP WR Santonio Holmes to the Jets for a 5th round pick in 2010 (#151 overall).  Holmes played in all 16 games for the Steelers last season in which he caught 79 passes for 1,248 yards (15.8 avg) with 15 TD grabs.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 6 yards (2.0 ypc) last season.  Holmes played in 60 games in his 4 years with the Steelers catching 235 passes for 3,835 yards (16.3 avg) with 20 TD grabs and he also carried the ball 11 times for 45 yards (4.1 ypc).  Holmes also returned 62 punts for 496 yards (8.0 avg) with 1 TD return and he has also returned 18 kickoffs for 436 yards (24.2 avg) for the Steelers.  I commend the Steelers’ front office and management team for getting rid of a talented head case, but, they should have gotten much more than they did for a player of his caliber.
