Yesterday, PFT (the pinnacle of reporting accuracy) had several stories that said $65mil/5 years.

Those stories are nowhere to be found now. Anonymous retraction?

@benroethlisberger7- you really need to get a life.

There is no way this works out good for the Fins.

Except if he catches a few 20+ yarders that keeps ds from stacking more defenders in the box…

Hey Rodgers419 – go pound sand. He didn’t want to stay in Pitt b/c the Haley offense is correctly geared to shorter passes & allow Ben to not get hit so much. Wallace is gonna have fun on South Beach -he’s gonna need that considering the misery of trying to catch balls from the hideous QB’s the Dolphins have on their roster.

“that’s why the Steelers let him go easy”

No. They didn’t have a choice. They offered him 10m/yr and got beat out.

I hope he fits in and the Dol-fans get another reason to cheer. Congrats and good luck.

Wow. Sure hope he’s worth it for the Dolphin’s sake. A huge contract for a man who had an off year.

Wow, that’s a lot of dough,..risky move and they still don’t have a running back and a solid tight end.

Good money but another player that would rather play in an empty stadium than for a contender. Raven players doing the same. SHOW ME THE MONEY, show me the wins.

A lot of money for someone who had like 110 balls thrown to him and caught less than 70 of them. Good luck Fins!

Anybody else think they overpaid?

This deal makes me go, “Hmm..” more than “Slam dunk,” but the Dolphins have a ton of cap room, so if nothing else, good for them for going after the guy they wanted and making sure he’s happy.

That said, I hope for their sake Wallace lives up to that paycheck, because otherwise it’s gonna be hell on them, hell on him, and hell on the fans.

We’ll see. Could get interesting.

This signing makes Miami’s offense better and less predictable, something they’ve needed for years. Great pickup no matter what the haters say.

Ask any Steeler fan , 60 bucks a week is to much for Wallace .

Even though Ross demanded this signing in hopes of tricking voters into paying for improvements to HIS stadium, it will end up being the nail in the coffin of Jeff Ireland’s term as GM. With a fat wallet and no Big Ben to throw to him, Wallace will never even come close to doing what he did in Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, we now have no cornerbacks to match up against the Patriots.

Too much for someone who’s primary role will be to streach the filed by backing-up the secondary.

It beats the 5 year $50 million deal the Steelers offered last year. Don’t come on here hating Steelers fans. Especially since you offered that contract and Wallace turned it down. And no Antonio Brown is not better than Wallace and you know who thinks that? Steelers management who offered Brown a lower value contract than Wallace.

Regardless of what people think of Mike Wallace, this signing bodes well for the future of Miami. It proves that Miami can land a big free agent after getting snubbed by so many. Yeah sure, Jeff Ireland had to change his ways and put more money on the table, but at least Free Agents will want to come here rather than just using us to ride the price up. You did good Jeff.

It will be fun to see where all these guys end up. Seems like there are more big names than usual.

Miami really bent over and overpaid for this guy, once these athletes get paid like this; they usually become a bust and can’t live up to the contract.

When you dont pay for a franchise QB, you can afford it. But what happens when your QB wanna get paid?
If you have success, your QB wanna get paid. If you dont have success, you pay $60M for…nothing.
I cannot see this end well.

The Steelers contract. that he turned down wasnt that much different was it?

They will find out what steeler fans knew for years let hem think they got some great receiver who can catch. He’s nothing more than a 9 route running brick handed buffoon. If he caught the passes that he dropped he would be worth that much money. But he doesn’t and never will. It’s not like all the sudden he’s gonna have great hands. He’s fast and that’s about it. He is like having a race car with no steering wheel. Just goes fast and straight, no turns!
