Re: What do we think of this little story?
I don't know about that because yes the Steelers will be without a top tier WR in the league, but at the same time they are losing a pre madonna and gaining a first rounder which could end up being a stud. Roethlisberger is good enough to make things happen without Wallace. So no I wouldn't do it personally.

Re: What do we think of this little story?
I'm not certain what the rules were at the time Kirwin says he waited until the last second, but a rule of the restricted market is that there is a seven-day period for "right of first refusal" eliminating the possibility to "pressure" another team with a truncated time frame to make a decision.

Re: What do we think of this little story?
But Kendall Wright has never stepped foot on an NFL field. Mike Wallace is ALREADY one of the very best deep threats in the league. He's not at the Calvin Johnson/Larry Fitzgerald/Andre Johnson level, but I would argue he is right below that. He's realistically a top 10 WR in the league, and Wright is not. Wright is 3 years younger than Wallace, but it's not like Wallace is old. He's only 25 and he stands to get better if he can hone his route running a bit.
If you could choose between Kendall Wright and Mike Wallace for the same CONTRACT, I think it's a no-brainer that you choose Wallace. As others have said, the problem looks to be that teams simply don't want to pay Wallace's price at all, draft picks notwithstanding.

Re: What do we think of this little story?
My argument isn't on Kendall Wright vs Wallace, of course I know who the better player is right now. But 10 million a year for Mike Wallace? No thanks. The argument isn't between who you would chose between Wright and Wallace at the same contract, my argument is that you should never spend that much money on a pre modonna WR. Kendall Wright was just an example btw, because by the time the Bengals are picking he's probably the only receiver worth taking at #17 or #21.

Re: What do we think of this little story?
This is what I think will happen. Players who succeed get more attention from the opposing defense. Plus, ward is gone, he helped wallace and brown with crossing routes that often took a player covering them get blocked out slightly, enough for brown or wallace to get open. Ward was good at interfering with the defensive players ablity to stay with the receiver on a crossing play. Brown or wallace have played now for several years and there are tapes available to study them.
