TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers
If you’re a Pittsburgh Steelers’ fan then you’ve likely been asked the following question; “So is Mike Wallace going anywhere?” We may now be able to provide some evidence as to why Wallace has stayed put to this point and it didn’t surprise me one bit.
Mike Wallace wants to get paid. He allegedly wants to be paid A LOT.
