I agree steelfin. It doesn't look good to me for Wallace. I know nothing more than what I read, but don't like the posturing. I hope I'm wrong.

No source or link but my gut tells me Wallace will report to camp this week. Too bad my gut is wrong most of the time but let's see how this one plays out.
If i read the details correctly, the Steelers worked a 5th year option into the contract...it's possible that the extra bonuss in DeCastro's contract were a concession in order to get that 5th year option...historically, the Steelers like to have their rookies for 5 years...

What Actually Happened: Lamar Jackson became the youngest two-time NFL MVP winner ever.

Steelers’ Inside The Ropes
By Mark Kaboly
Published: Sunday, July 29, 2012
• The much-anticipated one-on-one live linemen drills took place for the first time Sunday with mixed results from rookies David DeCastro and Mike Adams, who stood up fellow Ohio State alum Cameron Heyward on his first attempt, with Heyward getting even the next time through. Meanwhile, DeCastro didn’t fare as well; Corbin Bryant pushed right through him and to the quarterback on his first attempt.
• A day after “backs on ‘backers,” the Steelers’ competitive session was tight ends on linebackers, with the objective of the tight end setting the edge. While Leonard Pope looked good against backup Brandon Hicks, it was second-year tight end Weslye Saunders who stole the show. Saunders capped his performance by dominating 6-foot-5, 245-pound linebacker Brandon Johnson.
• Tempers continued to flare. Rookie offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum got into a pair of shoving matches, first with Heyward then with Ikponmwosa Igbinosun. After the latter fight was broken up, defensive line coach John Mitchell grabbed Igbinosun and said, “Get back here and shut your mouth; you are getting your butt beat anyway.”
• Isaac Redman is the clear leader of a young running back crew, and he reinforced that when he made rookie Chris Rainey do a drill over because he wasn’t hustling.
• Although their chances of making the team are slim, rookie receivers Jimmy Young and David Gilreath made impressive catches during 11-on-11 drills. Gilreath made a leaping, sprawling catch on a pass over the middle from Charlie Batch before getting hit by Curtis Brown. Later, Young hauled in a long Byron Leftwich pass down the near sideline over Ike Taylor. Young’s helmet came off after impact, but he was able to hold on to the ball.
• Todd Haley’s offense continues to evolve. The Steelers ran a handful of “Tornado” plays, in which they rush to the line of scrimmage without a huddle after a short gain on first down to run another play. The quarterback has the liberty to call “Tornado,” but the play has been scripted into the offense since minicamp.
• Special teams prowess could be the difference between making the team or not. Practicing kickoffs for the first time, the Steelers lined up, from left to right, Andre Freeman, Rainey, Stevenson Sylvester, Will Allen, Sean Spence, Jonathan Dwyer, Ryan Mundy, Chris Carter, Cortez Allen, Curtis Brown and Shaun Suisham.

I'm no Captain Kangaroo or anything, but I'd say that the kicker is supposed to be in the middle of the formation when kicking off, not as a gunner on the far right of the kickoff formation. Maybe Dwyer has a better leg than Suisham, and Suisham is a better tackler than Dwyer, though.Special teams prowess could be the difference between making the team or not.

Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
