Redskins are the favorites to land Holmes - New England Patriots Forums

We all know the skins owner has sooo much money that we have seen him throw at players in the past. They seem determined to acquire Holmes and this would be a great victory for the PATRIOTS. Holmes is legit and I would love to see him disappear from the AFCE

Redskins expected to target Santonio Holmes

Sources tell the NY Daily News that signing Santonio Holmes is indeed the Redskins' "No. 1 priority" as they approach free agency.
This echoes a previous report from NFL Network's Jason La Canfora. The Daily News envisions a scenario in which the Redskins and Jets engage in a one-on-one bidding war for Holmes, similar to their fight over Laveranues Coles in 2003. Holmes has made it pretty clear that he's going to sign with the highest bidder. The Skins have more available cap space than the Jets at this point, but New York won't let him get away without an all-out fight.

Let's hope Snyder overpays for that stupid little criminal. Mediocre Marky definitely will be taking a step back this season, maybe two steps without decent wideouts to throw to.

Holmes is legit, and normally I would be for throwing big $s his way (7M per).

But in a bidding war with the Skins Vs Jets, I have to believe the Skins win.

It's hard to put a value on Holmes considering he is one bad piss away from a year suspension, in his prime, a SB MVP, etc..

Rex called him the best player on the team. But maybe he says that 53 times to different people.

Wrecks can't make up his mind on which Green Bean is the best. One day it's Holmes, the next day it's Revis. Everyone else wonders why the hell he names favorites.

By the way, Nut: isn't it time to move the Jets Suck thread back to the main forum???

I hope the Jets over pay for him. Thats the best way this works.

NEPats1 · 07-25-2011, 05:29 PM

I just read on another site that dead money won't count against the cap and so the Jets will be about 20 million under.

Im upset on a day when I shouldn't be

Nah, best scenario is them overpaying for someone lesser like Edwards, or way overpaying for Asomugha to the point that they have to let all their FAs go

No, he only reserves such compliments for players who display the best feet.

=================================

There is a great argument to be made that he is the best player on the Jets O, he does have tremendous skill and a knack for making great plays.

My point, He has a ring, he has a SB MVP, he has 2 bad urine tests, and never had the big pay day. I worry after he gets paid big that he has another bad piss, then the team he is signed with is going to be in a world of hurt.

I like the kid and would love to see him remain a Jet, I'm just worried about the $s and the risk.
