Santonio Holmes, who agreed to a deal that averages slightly less than $10 million per season with $24 million guaranteed, took less money to remain with Jets, according to league sources.

The Jets have agreed to terms with WR Santonio Holmes on a five-year deal that averages slightly less than $10 million per season with $24 million guaranteed, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

The New York Jets will be one of the busiest teams in the league when the NFL lockout is lifted and the free-agency period finally begins. Jason La Canfora is that the Jets will make retaining Santonio Holmes a “priority.”
