Jets sign Santonio Holmes to five year deal

It is now official, the Jets will retain Santonio Holmes long term, after both sides agreed to a five year contract extension. Details of the deal are not available, but the Jets can rest easy knowing they have their number one receiver locked up.

Holmes became a crucial part to the Jets success last season, hauling in clutch catches and game winning scores like it was going out of style.

The former Super Bowl MVP with the Steelers, was the jewel of the Jets free agency plans all off-season.

Now the Jets are looking to re-sign the likes of Brad Smith, Braylon Edwards, and maybe maybe Nnamdi Asomugha, free agent cornerback of the Raiders.

Great job by the Jets for getting the deal done. There were concerns that the Redskins would nab Holmes, but when Washington re-signed Santana Moss, it was clear that Holmes' chances of remaining a Jet were very high.
