The Facts:
Holmes, a first-round pick, reached terms Friday on a five-year contract with the 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 Bill Cowher held his first full-squad meeting of camp, the Steelers locked up their last remaining unsigned player.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Holmes has been arrested twice since being the No. 25 pick in the April draft and is aware that he faces sanctions by the NFL, including a possible suspension, should any more incidents occur. ... Holmes is expected to compete with fellow rookie Willie Reid and veteran Cedrick Wilson to replace since-departed former starter Antwaan Randle El.
