Valentine Holmes joins New York Jets' practice squad after being waived
The New York Jets have signed Valentine Holmes to their practice squad.
The move was expected after the Jets waived the former NRL star on Saturday.
Holmes will train with the Jets during the coming season, but cannot be activated to the 53-man roster and play a regular season game.

The Jets' regular season begins against the Buffalo Bills on September 8.
Holmes will take a significant pay cut from what he was earning as an elite NRL player.
Holmes will pocket about $US136,000 ($A202,000) on the practice squad.
It is a long way from the five-year, $A5 million contract the Cronulla Sharks offered Holmes before he left for New York and what other NRL teams would be willing to pay if he returned to Australia.
