I forgot we lost to the Niners in the playoffs last year. When did the NFL start interleague play? Mo-ron.

Mike Wallace isn’t going anywhere, and there’s no amount of front loading that is going to change that. Not only will Wallace not get an offer we can’t match, but he will not get any offers at all.

Antonio Brown certainly may not have the same skill set as Wallace, but the guy can find the soft spot and is much better after the catch. But, A.B. needs a complement, and Sanders isn’t a No. 2 guy yet.

Regardless, no team is going to give up a 1st rounder for Wallace, as he is one knee injury away from being out of the NFL, as he depends almost solely on his speed still. If someone is crazy enough to take that gamble and offers a crazy amount, the Steelers would simply let him go. If it is a fair offer for the short-term (3 years or less) the Steelers would likely match it.

But anywho, I don’t see any team making a run at Wallace after only two good seasons and falling off of the radar in the last third of last season. But you never know, if Dever is crazy enough to offer old-man Manning $95 million over five years, then they may just be crazy enough to gamble their future on Wallace.

Wallace really reminds me of Randle El right before he left the Steelers the first time. He was raw, yet talented, but was not ready to be a No. 1 or No. 2. That ruined him in Washington.

TL;DR: No team is crazy enough to sign Wallace. He still has just one trick and isn’t good at adjusting to coverages.

Those selections also have a history of injuries.

I’ve been commenting on this Web site and its sister college site since long before anyone heard of you and will match my football knowledge against yours any day.

Apparently, in addition to your other likely shortcomings, you’re unable to read. I said I’ll wave good-bye to Mike when he inks a new contract and not before. That simply means I’m not biting on every rumor about potential teams; it says nothing about whether the Steelers can or will keep him.

We’d have to meet a potential offer, which we’ll do–within reason. But when Randle El’s rookie contract expired, Dan Snyder offered him $31 million with more nearly $12 million in signing bonuses. It was a ridiculous overpayment, and the Steelers don’t do ridiculous when it comes to money. The Rooneys have a longstanding policy of not overpaying for receivers that only touch the ball a few times a game.

I’d like to keep Wallace, but he wasn’t our top receiver last season, so we’ll survive if we don’t … just as we survived after losing Plaxico Burress, Nate Washington, and Santonio Holmes.

Best run along now. Your mom wants her computer.

P.S. – Bring a chick for Elway, he hasn’t scored in years.

Denver is going to win, as of today without Wallace they are the second best team in the AFC, with Wallace they are inching closer to New England .

Pittsburgh at best will be the 3rd best team in the AFC north.

When healthy Manning is still the 3rd or 4th best QB in the game. I would rate Rodgers, and Eli 1a and 1b.

Art RooneyII has stated he wants a running team.

Quality of life is so much better in Denver than dreary Pittsburgh.

Think of it this way: Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.696 pounds per square inch (PSI). At an altitude of 5,280 feet it is about 12.1 PSI, over 15% less. 15% less air resistance will make a LOT of difference…

In addition to the contract, cash, possible player reunions, and MAYBE the addition of Mike Wallace, one has to wonder if this hypothesis played any part in the decision making process. Science plays a key role in professional sports these days and players like Peyton are very aware of the data and advantages.

Just sayin’ it could explain a part of why Denver and not SF.

I think they’ll manage if Denver gives em an extra first rounder.

They can pay him the restricted free agent contract amount this year, 2012, and franchise him in 2013 assuming they work out a new deal with Brown.

Worst case, they get two first rounders and they will hit on both rest assured. The Steelers don’t get bothered by free agency. They just keep rolling. Lose one, next one up.
