Description: Receiver Santonio Holmes is staying with the Jets after restructuring his contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. | Insight: Holmes has been a malcontent over the last two years had only played four games in 2012 before a foot sprain ended his season. New York will have the same QB issues in 2013 so we aren't high on Holmes' fantasy prospects. | | |

Description: New York wideout Santonio Holmes has been moved to injured reserve as a result of the Lisfranc fracture he suffered in his left foot Sunday versus San Francisco. He will not return to the field this season. | Insight: We weren't high on Holmes this year anyway because of the Jets' ugly situation at quarterback but now he can safely be dropped from all fantasy teams. With Holmes gone, things just got a whole lot tougher for starting quarterback Mark Sanchez. There's not a whole lot to like about this Jets offense at the moment. | | |
| 10/2/2012 10:30:00 PM |
Description: According to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports, Jets receiver Santonio Holmes has a Lisfranc injury and is "99 percent likely out for the season." | Insight: This was expected but now it's official. If Holmes doesn't return this year he'll finish with 20 receptions for 272 yards and a touchdown in four games. | | |

Description: This from Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News; "As the Jets await word on Santonio Holmes, the feeling in organization is that he will be lost for the season with a foot injury." | Insight: This is a killer for the Jets who are already thin at wide receiver. If correct, Chaz Schilens, Jeremy Kerley and rookie Stephen Hill (hamstring) are New York's top three wideouts. Perhaps Plaxico Burress or Chad Johnson should stay close to their phone. | | |

Description: Jets receiver Santonio Holmes has already been ruled out for next week's game against the Texans. Holmes left Sunday's game versus the 49ers after injuring his left foot. | Insight: He probably wouldn't have had a good week anyway against Houston's elite defensive unit. X-rays on the injured foot came back negative but the team is still waiting for the results of his MRI. Until those come back, we won't have a clear timetable for how much time Holmes can be expected to miss. | | |

Description: Updating a previous report, New York wideout Santonio Holmes actually suffered a foot injury Sunday, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. | Insight: Holmes went down with a non-contact injury that was assumed to be a knee issue (possibly another non-contact ACL tear like Darrelle Revis suffered last week), so this is temporarily good news. However, we'll have to see what the nature of his foot injury is. | | |
| 9/30/2012 3:28:00 PM |
Description: New York wideout Santonio Holmes suffered a non-contact left knee injury and was carted off the field Sunday against the 49ers. | Insight: Holmes had four catches for 29 yards at the time of his departure. The Jets are praying it's not another torn ACL after losing Darrelle Revis for the season to that injury earlier this week. | | |
| 9/23/2012 5:30:00 PM |
Description: Jets receiver Santonio Holmes has been heavily targeted this season but he finally was able to turn in a positive performance in Week 3. Holmes caught nine passes for 147 yards. | Insight: Holmes came in having been targeted 19 times but with just seven catches for 96 yards. It's still difficult to trust Holmes on a week-to-week basis but at least you know he's still capable of big games. | | |
| 8/24/2012 9:09:00 PM |
Description: Despite minor hamstring, back and rib injuries, wide receiver Santonio Holmes will be on the field for the Jets Sunday when they take on the Panthers. | Insight: Holmes struggled to 51 catches and 654 yards in 2011, his lowest yardage total as a professional. With Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow sharing the QB duties for New York, things probably aren't going to be a whole lot better this season for the once dominant fantasy wideout. | | |
| 8/6/2012 8:38:00 PM |
Description: Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes will be kept out of practice for at least a week while he tends to a rib injury. | Insight: Holmes (51 catches, 654 yds, eight TDs in 2011) should be fine by the time the regular season gets going but he's not expected to enjoy much fantasy success this season with the shaky combination of Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow under center. | | |
| 8/4/2012 9:57:00 PM |
Description: The X-Rays on Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes' injured ribs came back negative, according to Rich Cimini on ESPN New York. | Insight: Holmes was believed to have suffered a broken rib during practice Saturday, especially after Jets coach Rex Ryan said he could see the rib sticking out. Holmes may still miss the Jets' first preseason game next week, but the negative X-Rays are a positive development. | | |
| 8/4/2012 8:35:00 PM |
Description: Wide receiver Santonio Holmes likely suffered a broken rib during an intrasquad scrimmage Saturday night, according to the New York Daily News. | Insight: Jets coach Rex Ryan said the rib was "sticking out." Holmes was apparently injured on a hit by cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who made headlines last week when he said he would place himself second on the team's WR depth chart. Holmes is unlikely to play in the Jets' first preseason game Friday. | | |
| 6/7/2012 7:34:00 PM |
Description: Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes pulled himself out of OTAs Thursday because he felt unfairly overworked by coaches, ESPN New York reports. | Insight: Holmes already has a reputation of being a selfish player in the Jets' locker room. The team would have likely moved on from him already if it didn't owe him so much money. Considering the Jets' uncertain quarterback situation, Holmes shouldn't be someone you're targeting in fantasy drafts. | | |

Description: Santonio Holmes (knee/quad, questionable) indicated that his availability for Week 2 will be determined by Jets doctors.
Source: Manish Mehta via Twitter | Insight: Holmes also let reporters know that he suffered the injury during practice. There's a possibility that Holmes is held out against the weaker opponent, plus they added Patrick Turner from the practice squad. We'll know more at 1:00 Sunday. | | |

Description: The NY Jets have made their first big free-agent move, locking up WR Santonio Holmes for around $10 million per season.
SOURCE: ESPN.COM
UPDATE: The deal is rumored to be for five years and $50 million, with $24 million guaranteed. | Insight: This move was a "must" for the Jets as they had three WR free agents that could have all left for another team if the Jets didn't lock them up. Braylon Edwards and Brad Smith are also free agents, and with this move to sign Holmes, it's going to be very difficult to sign Edwards. The Jets are rumored to also be interested in CB Nnamdi Asomugha. | | |
| 3/16/2011 10:02:00 PM |
Description: If the NFL were to play the upcoming season under 2010 labor rules, Holmes would miss out on unrestricted free agency. | Insight: The receiver has accrued just five seasons of service and would thus be a restricted free agent. Of course, we'll have to see what rules actually govern the 2011 league year whenever it starts. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
| 3/8/2011 11:03:00 PM |
Description: Santonio Holmes says he expects to return to the Jets this year. Any other team signing him would have to compensate the Jets with two draft picks which is unlikely. | Insight: | | |
| 3/8/2011 2:33:00 PM |
Description: Posting on Facebook, free agent WR Santonio Holmes sounded confident that he will re-sign with the Jets this offseason.
SOURCE: NEW YORK POST | Insight: Holmes talked about the Jets not winning the Super Bowl this past year, saying "Trust me, as soon as I sign back with the Jets, everything will be taken care of." When the CBA is a done deal, Holmes and the Jets will start talking about a new contract. | | |
| 3/1/2011 3:05:00 PM |
Description: According to his player rep, Jets WR Santonio Holmes will not be signing a deal before the onset of free agency.
SOURCE: TWITTER | Insight: The Jets were expected to make Holmes a priority, but they may have to compete for his services, which could seriously drive up his price. If the Jets get outbid, Braylon Edwards could end up being the backup plan. | | |
| 2/26/2011 12:04:00 PM |
Description: NFL.com's Jason LaCanfora reports that Holmes is the Jets' top priority in free agency. | Insight: The wideout ended his season on a sour note, lamenting his absence from the starting lineup in the AFC Championship game. Still, he was clearly the Jets' best wideout last season and was Mark Sanchez's favorite target down the stretch. We'll see what happens, as the Jets have already used their franchise tag on LB David Harris. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
