Just heard from Savran on Pittsburgh Foxsports Tonight that they reached an agreement with Holmes and that he will report to Latrobe later tonight. No details on the money figures but it has been reported that he signed a deal a little after 5 pm. I'm glad cause now there are no holdouts for the team.
I doubt it was for a whole lot considering all the trouble he stirred up after being drafted, but yeah at least there are no holdouts.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Holmes agrees to five-year deal with SteelersFirst-round draft pick Santonio Holmes reached terms on a five-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a deal that apparently does not include added contract language protecting them against additional off-field problems.By reaching terms with Holmes minutes before coach Bill Cowher held his first full-squad meeting of camp, the Steelers locked up their last remaining unsigned player. Earlier in the day, they signed third-round pick Willie Reid, the former Florida State receiver.Holmes, a former Ohio State star wide receiver, has been arrested twice since being the No. 25 pick in the April draft. He faces an Aug. 15 trial on an assault charge involving a woman in Columbus, Ohio, who is the mother of one of his three children. He also pleaded innocent to disorderly conduct charges brought Memorial Day weekend in Miami.Despite Holmes' off-field problems, which clearly agitated Cowher and cast doubt on whether Holmes has the maturity and focus to be a productive NFL player, Steelers director of football operations Kevin Colbert said the team is protected enough by the standard player's contract.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2532320
