Getting more than a 5th Round pick would not be consistent with the Rooney's "emotional and reactionary" thinking as evidenced by the last 75 years of the owenership of the franchise.

Worst trade ever? No. I haven't heard much, if any, of that. I think this was a good move, but I wish we could have gotten a little more. If Leon Washington is indeed part of the deal, I'm good with it.Originally Posted by RussBII
Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.
I don't know anything about draft pick values, but if they can use this 5th round pick and couple it with 2-3 other picks to move up into the late 1st round - late 2nd, I'm all for it. I think we currently have 11 draft picks now, which makes a move like this a lot more likely.
The two situations are a bit different. For one, Holmes has been involved with dumb and asinine incidents since the day he was arrested. The other difference is that Reed was smart enough to stay quiet after he got himself arrested. He didn't show disrespect to the Rooneys, the Steelers and their fans by inviting people to go kill themselves, suggesting that the "fans don't pay his salary," or saying anything else asinine via twitter.Originally Posted by steelblood
If we can get Leon Washington out of this deal that would be totally sweet.
Getting only a fifth rounder is pretty disappointing, but its better then nothing. Even if he walked after his current contract the best we could have hoped for was a pick in the 3rd to 5th round range anyway. Given his bonehead off field antics, would someone have signed him for 3rd round competency pick value?
I really hope that the Leon Washington rumor is real. He would be a good addition. Maybe there is another under the table part of the deal if Washington doesn't sign his tender? Here is the Jets' draft picks according to ESPN - doesn't look like much to work with if we look for a "we'll pick your guy for you with our pick" type of deal.
1 29 (29)
2 29 (61)
4 26 (124) from Arizona
6 29 (19
7 29 (236
a 5th round pick?? that is crap. great we can draft the next willie gay with a 5th round pick. washington better be part of the deal. that would make it a little better. washington is a great rb but if he is part of the deal then we wont be drafting a rb let alone a big rb
Bingo. This is why Holmes was shipped, it has nothing to do with barroom allegations. All the twittering and the supposed four game suspension that he is about to serve to start the season sealed it for him. If he gets caught waking and baking once more then he is gone for a year - which would hit us much harder then a trade today.Originally Posted by phillyesq
Wait...the Jets don't have a 5th rounder this year. So is it next years 5th rounder? The browns have the Jets 5th this year...29(160) Cleveland Browns from NY Jets
LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS!
Here We Go Steelers!
