Three weeks ago, I desperately wanted a break from all the stories about whether kids should play football. Now, I desperately want a break from all the stories about the back-to-the-future toxic relationship between the NFL and the NFLPA. And, of course, the respite comes via another story about whether kids should play football. But……

The restricted free agent was offered a tender by the Steelers worth a little over $ 2.7 million, but Wallace has thus far refused to sign it.
