You still have to figure he's got to be getting close to strike 3 with the Steelers after these charges, the last ones, the motorcycle thing etc.
If PIT are shipping out a guy like Holmes after his problems, should be sending a message that no matter the talent, you screw up. Although not formally charged, I don't think his alibi was he was singing in the church choir any of these incidents, and how key evidence suddenly doesn't exsist etc etc means that there are other factors at play here...factors that may not like covering for him time and time again.
Toss in another season or so out of the playoffs and another incident and it may be time to "move on" from Pitt.
