Jets acquire troubled but talented receiver from the Steelers

The New York Jets have decided that they are going to take chances this year, and they hope to turn risk into reward.
On Monday night the New York Jets traded for embattled Wide receiver Santonio Holmes.
The Jets traded a fifth round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for the talented, but troubled Super Bowl MVP.

Which is a steal under most circumstances, but Holmes comes with a laundry list of off the field problems. Holmes is currently facing a four game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
There is also an on-going investigation about an incident where Holmes is being accused of throwing a glass at a woman in a club last month.

The Jets have not shied away from bringing in players with questionable past's earlier this month they signed embattled CB Antonio Cromartie and last season they signed another troubled WR Braylon Edwards.

Head Coach Rex Ryan must feel his leadership can keep those things from being a distraction or he wouldn't risk ruining the chemistry that got the Jets to the AFC title game last season.
