What an ungrateful act by a team to the man that won them a Super Bowl.

Perhaps they showed their gratefulness early on when they paid him like millions and millions of dollars to play a game?????? He has no right to expect anything else!

He for sure didn't do much last year. I had him on FFL, and I either benched him or dropped him altogether before the season was over.

I think the message may be finally getting around in the NFL. Chronic troublemakers end up traded, cut, or in jail. When teams are willing to take a 5th rounder for a WR who was outstanding in the past, who will miss the first 4 games, and has some playing ability and time left---it tells me that teams are willing to take a hit to move troublemakers and problem players.

If Big Ben ever slips up again, Phil, and runs into a lady who he cannot pay off, and has hard evidence of sexual assault plus a good lawyer---he will be history.

Apparently, Homes will start the season on a 4 game suspension. Substance abuse violation reported on ESPN

They need to ask Oakland how that's worked out for them. :D

I'm pretty sure they will be dominate on defense again but it's likely they can't repeat last year's offensive numbers. (and last years offensive numbers weren't that impressiveto start with).

I hate to see Holmes go, but the Steelers paitence was wearing thin with him over the last couple of seasons and it finally boiled over after this last failed drug test. His contract was up at the end of the season anyway. Plus it's harder to get rid of Ben when he has a 100 million dollar contract, but I expect him to serve tome type of suspension as well.

He earned every penny of that money by helping them win that Super Bowl. Pittsburgh got a great return on their investment. Many teams don't do that well.
