Mike Wallace isnt going anywhere

•Restricted free agents will stay restricted.

We spent a lot of time talking about the possibility of a restricted free agent getting plundered, particularly[URL="http://www.nfl.com/teams/pittsburghsteelers/profile?team=PIT"]Pittsburgh Steelers[/URL] WR Mike Wallace. Don't think it'll happen, though. The [URL="http://www.nfl.com/teams/baltimoreravens/profile?team=BAL"]Baltimore Ravens[/URL] have decided against it, and it would be tough cap-wise for the [URL="http://www.nfl.com/teams/newenglandpatriots/profile?team=NE"]New England Patriots[/URL] to pull off the kind of offer sheet necessary. The Bengals have other needs. San Francisco would be the team I'd fear most if I was in Pittsburgh's front office between now and the April 20 deadline to sign a restricted free agent, but the Niners just signed Randy Moss as a vertical threat. When push comes to shove, I suspect the Steelers are OK. The history of restricted free agency would indicate not much action, and even though the first-and-third tender no longer exists, I predict it'll remain a quiet market.

Like I have been saying all along, the tender was a great move for the Steelers. You get an elite receiver for a very low cost for 2012. Let 2013 take care of 2013 when it comes. No need for a long term contract now. And no other team was going to pay him top dollar when they had to give up a first pick as well. Great job Steelers.

New England has 17.8 in cap space. They could easily do it. Question is how much they value the 31st pick versus picking up Wallace. They are the only team at this point I see doing this. Of course, I could also see them going after Ladarius Webb.

I dont think so either, we should have heard about curtain team interest by now.

[Slapstick]

I think that if the Patriots were interested in a WR, it would most likely be Brandon Lloyd...yes, he'll be 31 this year, but he is still playing very well...the Patriots have no problem with picking up older veterans who want to compete for a championship...furthermore, he is very familiar with OC Josh McDaniels and that particular offense...

Typed a nice long post and all I got was PlanetSteelers is NOT RESPONDING....oh, well. The short of my post was I hope some team bites, but why should they, REALLY? They saw the same thing we did over his last eight games and there are enough pouty, head-case WRs out there...so why trade a 1st Rd. pick for another one.

I have seen nothing from Mike Wallace to suggest that he is a pouty, head-case WR.

Again...long response and then PLANET STEELERS NOT RESPONDING....

What? How about that old hair cut he used to have? If that is not a head case...oh, sorry Ruthless, maybe you wear the same 'do?

His lack of production during the second half and what I perceived as less than stellar effort at times was very disappointing. I want more, much more out of a player that is probably expecting $8mil plus per year.

Perhaps he is a big fan of Tintin?
