Last I checked a dozen is at least 12! The sports bar I go to is typically tow-thirds Steelers and one-third Dolphins. After pretty much every Dolphins game we laugh at the large number (yes much more than an exact 12) of Dolphin fans who routinely spew hate for Wallace.

I love the steelers but if I could make millions more playing for the fins - see ya later.
Guys want to make this about Wallace. Who cares? This is about the steelers accurately assessing his worth and letting him go so some other team could overpay him. Salary cap matters. The fins decision hurt them. The steelers decision helped them.
Good job.2014 MNF EXEC CHAMPION!!!Comment

This is where you and I differ. I think Wallace has good WR skills. That's why he was so successful with the Steelers. There were a lot of fast receivers in this league that weren't successful. Wallace knows how to use his speed ... he is great at lolling defenders to sleep and then turning it on. I agree that he isn't a good route runner, probably average at best, and he has average hands. Overall he is a good receiver ... not $10 million a year good like he thought but still a good receiver.
Brady has made many average receivers look good and I think if he can still throw the deep ball he would make Wallace look very good.As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.
but Go Steelers!!!

Nice hyperbole! "might be out of football"? I didn't see that anywhere. He may be untradeable, but that isn't the only option. Either the Dolphins keep him or cut him. If he is cut, he will get his bonus money and then be free to sign on with any other team. At that point, many teams would be interested and he'd surely receive offers.Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.Comment

Wallace still not getting love...maybe it is the player after all. THank goodness there will be no "reunion" here.
The Steelers wouldn't consider a reunion, but it's still possible the Dolphins cut their losses with the underachieving and/or under-utilized Wallace, just two years into a monster contract.
Perhaps it's poetic justice. Santonio Holmes took himself out of the game in the fourth quarter when he was with the New York Jets in 2012. Two years later, his Pittsburgh replacement, Mike Wallace, walked off the field as a member of the Dolphins in the fourth quarter against the Jets.
What does that mean?
The Steelers were smart to part ways with both of them.
The future of Mike Wallace in Miami seems to be uncertain at best, as Miami looks to find a way to add some production to a dismal offense. The decision to bring in Wallace was well-known by the time it was obvious he was on his way out in Pittsburgh. Despite no recorded evidence of tampering, Wallace managed to sign his free agent deal with the Dolphins just hours into free agency in 2013, and he's been effectively robbing the Dolphins blind ever since.
Skepticism of how and when the deal was actually done swirled around Wallace as he arrived in Miami, lacing a boom-or-bust theme around a player who used to be the best vertical target in the league (some might even brag about calling almost to the dollar his exact contract). His alleged complaints behind the scenes regarding opportunities come just two years into a five-year, $60 million deal with $30 million guaranteed. He has 1,792 yards combined since joining the Dolphins and is averaging 70 catches a season. Those figures are both less than Antonio Brown's cumulative total of his last 18 games. And rookie fourth-round pick Martavis Bryant put up comparable numbers (26 catches, 549 yards, eight touchdowns) as Wallace did his rookie season with the Steelers (39 catches, 756 yards, six touchdowns).
By releasing Wallace before he's owed $9.8 million in roster salary next year, the Dolphins would take on $9.6 million in dead money. That's a hefty sum for a player who appears to be only be worth about 30 percent of what he's already been paid. The whole thing reeks of a Patriots-fueled career revival for Wallace, but for now, Steelers fans can remember him as the player who gave the team the most when he was playing for the least amount of money in his career."My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"Comment

2015 Senior Bowl: Wednesday Rumor Mill
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
With all the general managers, coaches and scouts in attendance for the Senior Bowl there is a lot of chatter going around. Here are some of the highlights from the rumormill on day three.
The Dolphins are targeting a speed receiver, which makes Mike Wallace's future in Miami perfectly clear. Dolphins general manager Dennis Hickey didn't like Wallace coming out of Ole Miss, and sources say it would be surprising if Wallace came back to Miami next season. The organization's actions are speaking volumes.
The Dolphins have shown a ton of interest in speedster receivers Devin Smith (Ohio State) and Philip Dorsett (Miami). It looks as though the Dolphins are getting ready to dump Wallace and draft a cheaper replacement. While running Tampa Bay's drafts as the college director, Hickey didn't draft a wide receiver in the first round, so it seems more likely that Miami would take a wideout on the second day of the 2015 NFL Draft. Thus, Dorsett and Smith make sense.
