Ike Taloy, giving advice? Wallace would do himself a favor not to listen to this clown. He can’t cover, but hey, Steelers paid him like he can. Good to know Torrey Smith will be torching this fool for years.

Who is Ike Taloy? Oh wait…you must have a Baltimoron education. Wide left! Wide left! Good to know the ravens will continue to self destruct in the playoffs every year.

@ratbirdator:
Awwww, poor widdah ratbird fan still sore from the Steelers knocking your team out of the Superbowl hunt in 2010 – even after spotting you a two-touchdown lead at halftime just to make it interesting? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Go cry to Momma some more.

Unless there is something physically wrong with Wallace, I don’t know what the hell he’s doing. He surely knows that PIT can’t give him the contract he seems to want. His only play could be to find a team they’ll trade his rights to, but if someone was willing to give him what he wants, they would have talked to him as a RFA.

He’ sure acting as if he’s desperate to get a contract before having to show that he can play.

The Steelers live rent free in RAVENATOR’s tiny little head.

@ ravenator: you should try being more like bullybird with your perspective and comments. You are the one constantly making the pathetic douchbag comments on every steelers thread.

Who would take advice from Ike Taylor? That’s the laughingstock of the steelers defense…..how have they not cut him?

@mistrezzrachael …

Generally, I agree with you. It is better to stay out of your teammates’ business negotiations. And if you do say something, as Ike did, it should stay in the locker room.

On the other hand, it seems as though Mike is getting some poor advice from his business managers. Makes me feel a little better knowing one of our vets offered some sound guidance. That’s a tight locker-room, and I expect Ike speaks for most of them, so this won’t cause division. The players know the Steelers will be fine without Wallace, if it comes to that. But it’s hard to watch a talented, but foolish, young man derail his own career.

Ike Taylor has been stealing money for years. Wallace could learn a thing or two from Ike.

I love how people respond by acting like a whole fan base has one singular thought. Every “fan base” has their share of knuckleheads who can’t see anything but positives. They also have fans that are realistic about their teams chances. Which one are you?

I have never understood why these guys make it so complicated. Just go play.

Then seek financial consultation and learn to save/invest your immense stash of $$$.

Taylor crossing the line here…bigtime.

Every player in locker room knows you do not mess with the BUSINESS side of things involving a teammate. Goes on on every team in NFL, and you do not interfere when a player is ..negociating.

This can/could potentially divide Steeeler locker room…so better to keep mouth shut.

Also, Antonio Brown is just as good if not better. Wallace should be careful.

I agree with Taylor, but I have a problem with a leader of the team telling this to the media rather than just telling it to Wallace and leaving it at that. Why does it need to leave the locker room?

Don’t remember any Steeler fan suggesting the Steelers didn’t have a few issues they need to address before the season starts. It’s just hard not to be optimistic when your team’s trophy case is crammed with Lombardi’s.

No love lost if Ike Taylor goes away from football forever, but hey, that’s wisdom he’s laying down.

Respect.

Raven fan here,

The Raven fan in me says sign Wallace and break the bank, but the football fan says, dont break the bank on him and worry about signing Antonio Brown.

Brown is your future at WR that continues the Steeler way. Wallace is someone who is fast and has possibly plateau’d (Desean Jackson 2.0), Brown may be as fast and is a fearless pass catcher over the middle.

Someone will overpay Wallace, but to continue to compete every year, you can’t hamstring your cap with a Wallace megadeal.

He’ll hold out as long as he can.i dont see him losing money though.they’ll get a deal done why else would they make all those off season cuts?

Wallace is not in a great position. While he is a good receiver, the Steelers have a good receiving corps with or without him. Sign the tender & get into camp to learn the new offense. The longer he’s out, the farther he is behind everyone else. If his #s suffer because of unfamiliarity with a new offense, bye-bye big contract next year.

“Football doesn’t need you, you need football” Well said Ike!

That goes for all players, don’t believe it? Ask T.O. Plaxico Burress, Jeff Garcia, Cedric Benson, Jeff George etc….etc……

Would love to see him a happy and healthy Steeler, but no way should the bank be broken. One way or the other he should be an exciting player to watch for several years. Good luck Mike!

Mike Wallace had better listen to Ike. They won’t put up with it and before he knows it, he’ll be traded to somewhere like the Jets and have Sanchez/Tebow “trying” to pass to him. – or Jacksonville, or Seattle, etc…
