Sperm Edwards Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Mike Wallace - WR - Dolphins According to CBS' Jason La Canfora, the Dolphins have renewed attempts to trade Mike Wallace.It's a story that's barely even worth discussing because Wallace is nearly impossible to trade. He signed a $60 million deal a year ago and is owed a whopping $15 million in 2014 base salary. The Miami Herald has previously disputed reports that Wallace is even on the block. Looks like the rumors from Feb weren't pure rumors. 1 year in they don't want him anymore. Difference between him & Jackson is not only the money difference (Jackson is less) but also Jackson's deal doesn't have any more guaranteed money left if he totally flakes out. The second he's cut he's off the books. Rotoworld says Wallace's $60M deal had $30M guaranteed. Ouch. So his full salary in '14 is guaranteed ($15M) plus $3M of next year's salary. On Jason's site he has Wallace's cap number this year at $17.25M. That's why you don't give knuckleheads and Sanchezes monster deals like this. If (when) you don't want him not 1 year in, he's too expensive to bench, to expensive to dump, and too expensive to trade for a conditional 7th rounder in the year 2044 (conditional upon him catching 50 TDs over the first 4 weeks).

LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Now we'll have a 15 page thread about how this guy gets us the superbowl. Smh. I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone who can get excited over getting Wallace and pay him $15 mil when we could target Jackson at $10 mil. Also Dolphins ain't trading him to Los Jets.

LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Also wouldn't this make Decker the best WR in the division? Unless people still think Stevie Johnson still has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilkshake69 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 He is much better than he was last year in Miami. With that said, I do not want any part of Wallace or his albatross of a contract. The contract is a non-starter for me. I am sure Idzik agrees as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If the roto-rumors are believed to be true, the Dolphins are willing to trade their prized acquisition from last year's free agency, Mike Wallace, AND their first round pick from last year Dion Jordan, (who was really their first and second round pick given that's what it took to get him). All of that I'm sure to make up for having to rebuild an entire OL due to their "circus". How is the media NOT dumping on this team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard King Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Wallace will restructure and join New England so he can be with a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOJOTOWNSELL Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 How is the media NOT dumping on this team? because the national "media" is generally based out of NYC and they get the read Manish in the Daily News every day lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Eye watering, almost makes paying Revis 16mill per reasonable. To be fair, the only reason that was ever unreasonable is because the NFL hates people. They get away with it because people hate people. It all works itself out after that and our great friends, the owners, get to laugh to the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has happened with the Dolphins in the last 12 months is 20 times worse than anything that happened during the Tim Tebow fiasco of 2012 with the Jets.

GREENBEAN Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Honestly whats your educated take on Mike Wallace. I don't think hes worth the money he gets and I don't think the Dolphins will trade him to the Jets. Pittsburgh led the way once again with allowing this player to leave without much of a fight. Desperate Miami freaked out gave him 60 mil. I am liking, and struggling, while watching Idzik take more of a Steelers approach this time around. At least that's what it seems to me.

Also Dolphins ain't trading him to Los Jets. If Dolphins think Wallace is not worth $15mil especially when they don't have a viable backup, they would love for him to be on the Jets roster instead to eat up that cap.

Phoenix_Jet Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 All he can do is run in a straight line.... Dolphins paid a lot of money to learn that lesson the hard way.
