So looks like Miami is trying to quietly move Wallace. While I am on record as being a fan of Wallace and his game, Miami was always a terrible fit for him. Noodle armed QB with a terrible offensive line means not much of chance to complete long passes. Plus that contract. Man.
Miami is one poorly run franchise.

NO.
Can't say I'm surprised to read this. The worst FA signing since the Redskins gave Albert Haynesworth $100 million.

I'm clearly joking.

It's Ben's fault he was traded in the first place. He needs to zing that ball right between the numbers.
No jumping should ever be required by a WR. :rofl2:

I named my cat Mike Wallace because he can't jump either.

...or adjusting to the ball, or fighting for the ball to avoid an INT... :coffee:

Give Garfield credit. At least he jumped. :lol:
I remember when Miami traded Sammie Smith to Denver for their equally disgruntled RB Bobby Humphrey in 1992. Everybody put on a smile, but neither could hold onto the ball before or after the trade and they were both out of the NFL soon after.

Well, this is going exactly as expected. Only surprise is that we're actually ahead of schedule so far.

If he doesn't want to play for a shitty team he will.
That's the funny thing about receivers. They still don't get how this works. How many times have we seen this play out:
1. Squawk about how much money you deserve to be paid
2. Fine, you get your $10M a year contract by leaving in FA or bitching and moaning enough to force a trade
3. Your new team can't fill other obvious needs because you and one other guy, usually a pass rusher, are taking up a sixth of the salary cap space
4. The team has a bad year
5. Your numbers go way down as a result of #4
6. You're labeled a guy who took it easy after getting the big contract
7. You complain that you aren't getting the ball enough; the pass rusher complains about how he's being used
9. You're labeled a malcontent
10. You make it two or three years through your big contract, and are then cut or traded as a disappointment
11. You never see the big-money years at the end of the big contract
11a. It turns out your big contract was more like 3 years and $18M, so the joke's on you
11b. You sure still spend your money like you were on a $50M contract, though! Any day you're going to get another one.
12. You hire a new personal trainer and vow to come back better than ever
13. You end up signing a one-year prove-it deal for $1M and are kept on a short leash
14. You don't do well enough for another big contract
15. Repeat for rest of your career (which is either next major injury or next time you have a bad season and are labeled a malcontent)
16. See 11b. You're broke!
17. People laugh at you for being another dumb NFL guy who wasted his talent and squandered his money
Your agent doesn't care about any of this, by the way. He already got his money, and he has other clients.
THAT is the kind of thing that guys like Brown or Ward understood, and most diva WRs do not.
