An ominous tweet from the free agent MVP of Super Bowl XLIII to his former quarterback.

Santonio Holmes caught the game-winning pass in Super Bowl XLIII from Ben Roethlisberger, and Holmes' career peaked.

After 2009, it went downhill.

The Steelers traded Holmes in wake of a four-game suspension he would have to serve at the start of the 2010 season. The Jets gave Pittsburgh a fifth round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, a pick the Steelers would use as part of a package that would eventually land the sixth-round pick they used on WR Antonio Brown.

Holmes has battled injuries and some apparent confusion over his role in certain offenses, particularly those of the Jets. He was released and ended up in Chicago for part of the 2014 season.

He was released there, and isn't likely to draw much interest on the market.

His request to make history again is inspiring, but not within the realm of realistic possibility. The Steelers are preparing to release veteran Lance Moore - a receiver who made it through the 2014 season on a roster - and with Brown, Markus Wheaton and Martavis Bryant firmly established as their top receivers, and an 80-plus receptions running back in Le'Veon Bell, the Steelers will likely want to spend less on younger receivers than take a risk on the more expensive veteran minimum Holmes would likely get.
