No question on his ability..and he did out perform his last contract, but with that being said, he needs to take that 2.7m tender which I'm sure has some bonus $ in there before its cut to 577,000. The team has done a lot to get under the cap..other VETERAN players took hits to their wallets. In the long run he will get paid, something his AGENT needs to be telling his ass also. As a diehard fan since 78 I'm ready to move on with what we have..NO PLAYER IS ABOVE THE BRAND Mike needs to humble himself..he’s not Fitz, he’s not Megatron, and even those dudes didn’t get the $ he’s asking for this early in their careers.. why does he think no other teams are banging his door down?

That was wise advice. I love Mike Wallace but if he's not with the team come September, I believe the Steelers will excel without him. At Hines' retirement speech, he said he had only one regret and that was when he held out. IMO, Mike is getting bad advice from his agent. You don't test the Steelers' front office when it comes to contract negotiations. They know what they're doing and proved it once again during free agency. They'll decide your worth and when you've earned the Big Buck$. It will be a shame and very foolish of Mike if he doesn't sign by June 15, especially with a new offense being installed. FYI, Mike has the playbook and my understanding is he is studying it; but not the same as being on the field. My prediction is he will sign late on the 14th. Watch for it.
