A lot of talk that he might be released. Signed a huge contract so he would still be getting paid quite a bit to play for another team. This could make him accept a lesser deal from another team like us. I know he quit on the dolphins a few times but was probably frustrated with Ryan tannehill. With his head on straight he is exactly what we need. Him and Cam could be magical

Mike Wallace | MIA

(January 16, 2015 3:00 PM EST)

Speaking Friday, owner Stephen Ross admitted Mike Wallace's Dolphins future is in doubt.

"I don't think anyone really knows," was Ross' exact response. Signed to a five-year, $60 million deal in March 2013, Wallace has averaged just 896 yards as a Dolphin, and reportedly quit on the team multiple times in 2014. He's due $9.85 million for 2015, $3 million of which is guaranteed. Due $32.7 million over the next three seasons, Wallace is untradeable. Releasing him would create $5.2 million in dead money.

Until he benched himself.

(and followed up with that bizarre 'press conference')

Presser was odd. I'll give u that.

Sounds to me there was more to it than him just benching himself. But big picture that one incident is all that stands out in his NFL career.....given his skill set I'll still take him.

The quit on team remarks are scary. But I'd quit on the dolphins too. Isn't Gloria Estefan a co-owner?

Seriously though, he's exactly what our WR core is lacking...

But we just graduated from dollar store to tree-fitty store, and he might command more than tree-fitty.

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
