Wallace won’t be getting Fitzgerald type money this season – or maybe ever (that’s up to how he plays).  Wallace has two options now: Sign by June 15th to get the $2.7 million tender and stay on the team for a year  OR  not sign the tender and lose another $2.1 million (and put his roster spot on the team in jeopardy).  That’s right, another $2.1 million.  The Steelers can choose to cut his tender down to $577,500 if he refuses to sign by the 15th.

Is Wallace willing to lose another 2.1 on top of the 9 million he’s already lost by demanding an outrageous sum?  I doubt it, but he could dig in his heels and test the patience of the Steelers.  Word to the wise – if he does that he can expect to not play.  The Steelers find value in Wallace, but historically do no negotiate with players once the season starts.  Quite the pickle for a guy who probably thought he was on his way out of the ‘Burgh in February.  Not the case.  How the tables have turned.

What’s everyone’s take on this?
