In a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Jets acquired WR Santonio Holmes. Tone caught 79 passes for over 1,200 yards for the Steelers in the 2009 season. Although he would never approach those totals during 4 seasons as a Jet, his time with the team started well enough. Who will ever forget this catch that he made in the playoff win against New England.
It would prove to be a turbulent 4 years with the Jets. Being benched in the last game of the 11 season in Miami, declining play, injuries and bad QB play limited him to just 43 receptions and 2 TDs over his last two seasons as a Jet.
As for the Steelers, the trade worked out pretty well. they received the 155th pick in the draft. A pick they would trade to the Cardinals for Bryant McFadden and the 195th pick in the 2010 draft, a 6th rounder. McFadden, a DB, did not do much in his return to the Steelers. With pick 155, the Cardinals selected QB John Skelton.
With the 195th pick, the Steelers selected Antonio Brown. The Steelers did okay.
