Shoring Up Wallace Misconceptions
As Steelers fans know WR Mike Wallace is a restricted free agent. “Wallace Watch 2012″ may be the second biggest story of the NFL Off-season behind “Manning Watch.” However, it seems as though many fans do not understand how restricted free agency works. With tenders and draf Continue
Hritz Steelers Mock Draft: First Edition
By Jeremy Hritz
We are moving closer to the NFL Draft, and closer to the conclusion to the Mike Wallace speculation.

For now, considering all of the releases, other roster moves, and external factors such as player visits...
Mike Wallace To Denver Broncos Talk Will Now Dominate Free Agency
Quarterback Peyton Manning has now handed out his free agent bachelor rose to the Denver Broncos, and with the flurry off big named free agency signings now behind us, the full force speculation will now turn back to Pittsburgh Steelers restricted free agent wide receiver Mike Wallace, and if the Broncos will pursue him with a large front loaded offer sheet and their first round...
Why the Jaguars won't sign Mike Wallace
As many of you probably know, Mike Wallace is a restricted free agent. The Steelers and their fans love this guy, and they won't him to stay in Pittsburgh, but it's still possible for a team to swoop in and sign him. The downside for that team is that it would cost them a first round pick.
As Alfie Crow correctly pointed out at BCC, the compensatory pick that is given...
Dwindling Free Agent Market Could Speed Up Mike Wallace Negotiations
By Cian Fahey
After the San Francisco 49ers took a flier on Randy Moss early on in free agency, and now the New England Patriots now signing Brandon Lloyd, the Pittsburgh Steelers are all but certain to retain Mike Wallace for the coming season at his lowest RFA salary.
Now the focus for the Steelers shifts from the immediate future, to locking Wallace up for the long-term.
Many...
Two biggest suitors for Mike Wallace sign Free Agent Wide Receivers
The Mike Wallace market looked to get a little slimmer yesterday. The New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers both signed free agent Wide Receivers. That should fill both of their rosters at Wide Receiver. Adding Wallace to either team could cause a log jam at the position.
The Patriots signed Brandon Lloyd yesterday. Lloyd wanted to remain with Josh McDaniels who is...
49ers might consider going after Mike Wallace
According to Peter King of SI.com, if the San Francisco 49ers end up losing quarterback Alex Smith in free agency, they would end up saving about $8 million dollars in cap room. In that case they might decide to go after Pittsburgh Steelers restricted free agent wide receiver Mike Wallace.
The 49ers would likely have to pay Wallace around $8 million a season and give up the 30th...
Wallace Expendable To Steelers?
The Pittsburgh Steelers and WR Mike Wallace have had a nice partnership for the past three seasons. The Steelers took Wallace in the third round (84thoverall pick) of the 2009 NFL Draft, a pick that has proven to be a wise one.
In his rookie season, Wallace led the league with a 19.4 yards-per-catch average. He totaled 756 yards and 6 TDs on 39 receptions. The Mississippi...
Free Agent Options Dwindling For Steelers WR Mike Wallace
Before the start of free agency there was plenty of speculation that the Pittsburgh Steelers could end up losing WR Mike Wallace despite the fact that he was a restricted free agent. The Steelers were way over the cap but managed to get that in order before teams could start throwing offers at the receiver. ESPN Bostons Mike Reiss mentions that the Patriots signing of Brandon...
Peyton Manning headed to Denver, could Mike Wallace join him?
I do not hink so but the second to last scenario that I think could happen with Mike Wallace has finally come about. I was wandering where Peyton would sign and how it could affect Wallace. Peyton has chosen to go to Denver according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Of the three teams that Peyton was looking to join I thought Denver would be the least likely that Wallace would consider...
Alfie Crow with a good point on Mike Wallace
Alfie Crow at BCC pointed out today that a team cannot trade down in the first round and use that new, lower pick to compensate the Steelers for Mike Wallace. Compensation must be with the signing team's highest original first round pick.
Hines Ward tells Mike Wallace to stick with Pittsburgh
Hines Ward went out with a great press conference today. One nugget he left with was that he is urging Mike Wallace to remain with the Steelers. Ward knows from experience and is hoping Wallace stays in the black and gold.
“I told Mike you may get a chance to go other places but there’s not another place like Pittsburgh,”
Wallace is a restricted free agent who has had a...
Denver Broncos Should Really Go All In and Sign Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Wallace
The Denver Broncos convinced Peyton Manning to choose signing with them over the Tennessee Titans, San Francisco 49ers and countless other teams who pursued the future Hall of Fame quarterback. John Elway has demonstrated that he is all in for the team to get back to the Super Bowl, as they made a tremendous upgrade at the most important position on the field.
This is...
49ers Could Still Make A Run At Steelers WR Mike Wallace
The Pittsburgh Steelers took a calculated risk by not franchising wide receiver Mike Wallace and placing a first-round tender on the receiver. Thus far it has worked. But Peter King of SI.com thinks if Peyton Manning rejects the 49ers and they lose Alex Smith, they would sign free-agent quarterback Josh Johnson and if the Niners save $8 million a year by not signing Smith and by...
The one free agent the Steelers should be targeting: Jerricho Cotchery
Before we get on to the topic at hand we should note that with the 49ers signing of free agent Mario Manningham, there isn’t much left for the Steelers Mike Wallace. The hoopla at the start of free agency, with all the suitors that he would have banging down his door at 4pm on March 13th; is all just an afterthought now. The Steelers appear, for the time being at least, pretty...
