08:04 AM ET 07.27 | Agent Bus Cook certainly has his share of high-profile NFL clients, including Cam Newton and former NFL quarterback Brett Favre. What he does not have in Mike Wallace, however, is his ear, apparently. According to sources, Wallace is driving the bus on this one. It is the wide receiver's idea to hold out of training camp and, because of it, his relationship with the Steelers has taken a new turn. Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert confirmed a story in Thursday's Post-Gazette that the team has suspended negotiations with Wallace and his agent for a multiple-year contract, and that its last, best offer is now off the table. "We've chosen to not progress with negotiations at this point," Colbert said Thursday.

It seems like the Steelers and Pats are two teams where one shouldn't go about their business the way Wallace is now.

I like Mike, definiteley one of the up and comers, but............ he thinks he's more than what he is. Yeah, he's had some nice years but not Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald or Andre Johnson type years. Really Mike? You're not in those receiver's league yet and I don't know who is in your ear but you need to stop the diva antics and get into camp.

How long do you have to be around an organization to realize how they conduct themselves? They'd sooner bring Hines out of retirement at the reduced contract he was hoping for than to negotiate this way.

You are right, just look at the prima donnas the Steelers let walk already. They do not allow themselves to get extorted by any player.
