Mike Wallace expected to be cut

He has a huge cap hit next season, so I doubt the Vikings can trade him. All the speculation is he's gonna be cut cut, so any chance we bring him in? 

 

He's a younger better version of Ted Ginn, I think we could compliment Kelvin really well and let Funchess keep developing while playing the slots.

I wouldn't mind splurging on a top quality WR, but Gettleman is a loyal Wal-Mart customer. He'll be looking in the value bins at some truly oddball WRs who might be on their last legs. Some guys you've just never heard of even though they've been in the league for many years.

Now where you might be excited is in the upcoming draft. Gettleman will probably be looking for another big WR to put opposite KB,  with tweener WR/TE Funchess in the slot. The triples towers. Single cover that.

This could actually be a move I see us making. Even with the success we had passing this year it's pretty obvious that we need at least 1 more legit weapon, even with KB coming back. I think Wallace would be a very interesting choice. You know he can absolutely fly, and with the different types of guys we already have, a straight burner would really help things. This might be something we need to keep an eye on....of course that all depends on how much money he is looking for. I don't see us as a player at anything over 5 million a year for someone like him....gonna be a very interesting offseason. We have a lot of cap room, and DG doesn't seem like the kinda GM to just bank that kinda money and rest on his laurels.

If Ginn weren't under contract already for this season, I would say we can explore the option.

But for all the people here who flip their lids over Ginn dropping a pass, they would be livid at how Wallace tends to behave on the field. Remember how he was with the Dolphins? Also, he is only one year younger than Ginn, so that's pretty much not really a factor at all.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
