        Just saw some highlights on YouTube of this guy.
        He is definitely a vertical threat and could be a good fill in for the role JG plays. Made some pretty nice circus catches.

        I think he's worthy of playing in the orange and brown

            From wiki:

            Minnesota Vikings

            Holmes wasn't drafted in the 2011 NFL Draft because of his small school background, and was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Minnesota Vikings. He was waived by the Vikings on August 29, 2011.

            Dallas Cowboys

            The Dallas Cowboys signed him to their practice squad on September 5, 2011 and promoted him to the active roster on December 9, but did not play in the last 4 games of the season. Holmes was waived by the Cowboys on November 24, 2012.[8] On November 27, the Cowboys re-signed Holmes to their practice squad, as a replacement to Danny Coale, but wasn't re-signed at the end of the season.[9]

            New England Patriots

            Holmes was signed by New England Patriots on January 8, 2013, to the practice squad.[10] He was waived on May 10.[11]

            Oakland Raiders

            Holmes was claimed off waivers by the Oakland Raiders on May 13, 2013.[12]

            On July 27, 2013, Holmes was suspended for the first 4 games of the 2013 season due to violating the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy. After serving his suspension and being reinstated by the National Football League the Oakland Raiders activated him to their roster on October 7, 2013, filling the open roster spot after the release of quarterback Matt Flynn.[13]

            Pass

              Sounds like he's 1 strike away from a year off

                well, he did say that Holmes is very comparable to Gordon....

                Looks like him physically, at least. Id say he DOES look like an interesting prospect, just not sure he's any better of a bet than any rookie we would pick in the draft....while he will cost more and, apparently, has strikes against him....

                If he was on the waiver wire, I might take a swing and pick him up.....but to sign him to a 1.5m contract?......eh, Id pass

                  At least suspension was for a PED.
