This article’s title should read “lead pony” since Wallace is nothing more than a one trick pony.

A guy who in 4yrs in the league has averaged over 1k yards and 8 tds a season has no hands and can’t run routes…. Just imagine what he could do if he actually applied himself, then steelers fans would find something else to be bitter about.

Signing Wallace or overpaying is a good thing. No such thing as overpaying ( except for the guaranteed money). It they dont perform they never see the rest of the contract. Wallace makes the Dolphins better if he never catches a single ball. It makes Teams play 1o on 11 every down with a Safety over top. Personally, i hope he does catch a few nonetheless. He will sign for about what D.Bowe got. Case Closed it is what it is. Every Team wants him… Only one gets him. The fans that dont write sour grapes.

Wallace reminds me of a young Bob Hayes.

Slim pickings at WR. Jennings is getting old, maybe a year away from slow. Wallace has attitude and so-so hands, but some youth and speed. There were reasons he was a third rounder. Looks like a huge pay day anyway.

Problem is he is not a #1 guy. He is a compliment. All those steeler receivers are complimentary guys. Miami already has a complimentary guy in hartline. Wallace will grab the money but the reality Is he should be begging that the Lions or Bengals would sign him. He would put up crazy numbers at either place with megaton or green opposite.

Philbin and Shermans passing offense is all about getting different receivers into favorable matchups and situations that can enable them to make plays. Mike Wallace can stretch the field and create space underneath for the other receivers. His age and skill set makes sense for what the coaches need in Miami. Everyone can look into their crystal ball and make negative comments (remember the Reggie Bush trade?), but Wallace will get paid no matter where he goes, so why not go to a team where he will fit in perfectly with what the coaching staff is trying to accomplish?

I don’t like the thought of overpaying for a down field stretch receiver when the dolphins don’t throw down the field n have no real threat @ TV

Makes sense. Every team over pays to sign top notch free agents. That’s the nature of the beast.

He’ll be an impact player and will immediate help almost any teams passing attack, even if he isn’t getting the ball. He does have an occasional drop, but they’re usually not big ones and he’ll make big plays when you need them. Everyone knows about the deep routes but he’s also very effective on a short slant + run after the catch.

All in all, world class speed with hands, route running, and playmaking ability that are just good enough to compliment the speed.

The Dolphins colors are and always have been aqua and orange.

If you want teal, go visit Jacksonville.

You really should know better.

He’ll make Miami pay top dollar for him then do NOTHING! He has top speed but average hands at best. That’s why the Steelers chose to sign brown before Wallace.

Go back and watch the Steelers Packers Super Bowl on the 1st quarter interception Roethlisberger was hit as he threw to Wallace. Wallace just stood and watched the ball float to a Packers corner back…he didn’t even try fighting for the ball. Unless you hit him while wide open he won’t work to catch the ball….not exactly the trait of a $50-60 mil WR, is it? Can’t send him on go routes every play…

I wish Pittsburgh would make him an offer of 10.5 per year I think he would take it to remain in Pittsburgh .With Wallace our offense is great ,without we are good.For all the haters out there show Wallace some love

Wallace would be a good complementary receiver (deep threat) for a team that already has a solid #1 guy. That is not the Dolphins. Wallace is worth $6-7M not $12M. He does not run good routes. He has a diva streak and a case of the dropsies. Jennings is not worth what he wants either but at least that guy can run different routes and catch the ball. Wallace is not helpful in the red zone and that is where Miami struggles. Please pass on Wallace and spend the money more wisely. Wallace just seems like one of those guys that enters the witness protection program after getting paid because nobody hears from them again.

LOL @ Dolphins fans..you guys gona Learn quick that Wallace is only about his $.. the only reason. he had the numbers he had was because of Ben extending plays..He don’t block..he don’t go over the middle..he don’t catch with his hands and he can’t beat double teams. He’s a pretty boy diva who will never get grass stains on his uniform. Tannehill will under throw him 50% of the time. Some one said that Wallace is gona make the other Dolphin WRs better!? Apparently they don’t know Wallace..I’ve seen every snap since he became a Pro

Good. Vikings should resign Harvin, sign Brandon Gibson and pick up Justin Hunter in the draft (assuming, of course, Keenan Allen isn’t available @ #23).

Harvin, Gibson, Hunter/Allen, Rudolph and AP in the backfield. Not bad. Ponder will have no excuses in 2013 and we’ll know for sure by the end of this season if he can win in this league.

Thank you, Miami. I almost forgot you guys still had a team..

Way too much money. When will people understand that wide receivers don’t win games for you? Calvin Johnson just broke Jerry Rice’s record, and the Lions won four games. Besides, Wallace isn’t even that good.

Mike Wallace has so-so hands, runs very limited routes, is a bit of headache off the field and will earn at least $12 million per season from Miami in the next three days. He isn’t as good as Brandon Marshall, but the Dolphins need another player to stretch the field. They’ll also need a RB and a LT in the next week, but one move at a time.

The top three wideouts in free agency all will likely be overpaid, so Miami can’t really be knocked for the signing if it happens. But one has to question why Pittsburgh let the guy walk away without even attempting to work out a deal or to rework existing contracts. Miami fans better hope Wallace doesn’t count his money and live in the clubs, because this signing will result in the loss of both Jake Long and Reggie Bush.

Can everyone please stop talking about Brian Hartline like he is more than just A GUY? Take the time to rank him along with other nfl wide outs. He doesn’t crack the top 50 on anyone’s list that isn’t a dolphins fan.

He brings nothing that Early Ducett does not bring, that’s his level, case closed

Anyone else watch wallace play? Why would anyone be excited to overpay him. He is not big which means he isnt a redzone threat. He has alligator arms over the middle, and cant figure out what the definition of running a route is. The guy is nothing but fast. So what. Hope he does go to the dolphins and you idiots find out why he sucks so bad first hand

Mike Wallace is an overrated turd. I can’t wait for the rest of the league to find out. He’s all about himself and until he matures he’ll never help a team.

oh ok..sure Wallace is a fast deep threat, but he isn’t a game changer and if he was steelers would have signed him to a long term deal, but unfortunately Wallace dreams big thinking he’s worth 11-12M annually which he isn’t and hope there is that 1 “Sucker” team who will overpay him…hmmm, dolphins are the lead “SUCKERS” for Wallace..let the drama begin on tue.

Before the one trick pony comments start…

For someone who can’t catch (not true) and can only run go routes (again not true) it’s amazing that he is able to average over 1000 receiving yards and 8-10 receiving touchdowns each season before the age of 26.

Essentially what people like you are saying is that his ceiling is rediculously high because once he learns to run routes and catch (eye rolls) then he will essentially be one of the greatest receivers in the league.

Wallace will get his $11 million per season and fans…especially Steelers fans will continue to hate.
