Contract coming for Steelers' Wallace

So does this mean Wallace finally came to his senses and realized he's not getting Fitz money, at least not on this contract?

If he continues to improve, MAYBE the next one will be in that league.

This is the difference between a good football club and the Drama Club.

yawn

Would be nice to see Mike in black and gold for some more years

With or without Wallace, Steelers is still a very dangerous team. Still a Superbowl contender every year as long as they have Big Ben in offense and Polamalu in defense.

funny thing is Antonio Brown is the best receiver on their roster. wonders if the Steelers can afford to keep both?? hmmmmm

Emmanuel Sanders is going to have a breakout season

The thing with guys like Wallace is that their impact is not just shown in the numbers...they stretch the field and allow guys like Brown & Sanders to get single coverage against a safety perhaps and get open. Without that deep threat (and he can actually play too) those other cats wont shine as much.

With that said- hes NOT a top tier guy but 2nd tier for sure. They shouldnt go overboard with this deal

When's the last time that the Steelers went overboard on a WR?

Santonio Holmes? Plaxico Burress?

Oh, you said went overboard. I thought you were asking about the ones they threw overboard.

I am to the point where I could care less if Wallace remains a Steeler. Brown, Saunders, and Crochery are better all around receivers.Tomlin said it a while back about Wallace...one trick pony...he has gotten a few more tricks, but is hardly the elite WR he thinks he is. He sounds like a future Jet.

Wallace makes Brown a better receiver. The opposite isn't true.

Without the constant deep threat that Wallace provides, Browns numbers drop dramatically.

You forgot Nate Washington, Antawan Randal El, and a host of others. Just the way the Steelers do business, WRs who demand too much or make too much trouble, hey the door is over there

Would be Nice to see him a Steeler, would be nicer if his Talent, Matched His Big Mouth!!!

I haven't heard anything about Troy, He was hurt last year, has he recovered ?

You're crazy... Brown can run every route while Wallace is just a deep threat. Emanuel Sanders is a pretty solid receiver as well. Wallace is overrated

Try watching a few games, Wallace catches a ton of short stuff.

Wallace is overrated

3 years in the league (2 years as a starter)....3200 yards receiving....19 yards a catch...24 TD's.

IMO, he is underrated.

What has he said this off season to make him a Big Mouth? Is this your first off season as an NFL fan? If I can remember correctly this has happened once or twice before, you know, players trying to get a big money contract.
