    Steelers GM: 'There's really no contact' with WR Mike Wallace

    It's been 10 days since Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said that the organization would no longer actively negotiate with wide receiver Mike Wallace, suggesting that for talks to resume Wallace would first have to sign his restricted free-agent tender and report to training camp. "I think once we made that decision [to cut off negotiations] we're in a different mode and we would have to address any new negotiation if we get to that point," Colbert said at the time. Well, the team's first week in Latrobe is in the books and its first preseason game is Thursday in Philadelphia. But still no Wallace, and it's not clear when we'll see him. During a radio appearance Monday, Colbert admitted that the two sides haven't communicated recently. “Yeah there's really no contact," he said according to SportsRadioInterviews.com. "Mike knows where things stand. The next step for him really is to report and to sign his tender, and until that happens, there won't be anything else. And if that happens, nobody knows where it will go from there. So that's where it is and has been, and hopefully it comes to an end sooner rather than later because it will be good for us, but it will also be good for Mike.”

    Yeah, but just dream for a second. 6'5", quick as lightning, black and gold uniform, and already has his touchdown move. (Which Wallace has imitated.)

    He's the one who's really missing out.

    He's only hurting himself and his chances of signing a big contract with anyone! Swallow your pride and report to camp sign your tender and let the F O take care of the rest!

    I just don't understand what he's trying to accomplish at this point.

    At the beginning of last year I defended his supreme confidence in reaching 2000 yards.

    Sometimes there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

    This is a power move by Colbert and the Steelers. To come out and say to the public that there will be no dealings until he comes to camp and signs his RFA tender means the Steelers would have to go back on their word to negotiate any other way. That's not going to happen. If anything we should be happy, because if Wallace's agent knows anything, he will know that Pittsburgh will not go back on their word. This is a step in the right direction and we are that much closer to getting Wallace back to camp.

    He's just gotta show up...it's that easy. Maybe between week one and two of the preseason .... That's my next guess.

    I can see that happening. When he watches the game Thursday night he may come to his senses and show up.

    James Jett and the Raiders. That worked out.

    Seriously, though. This shit with Wallace has got to stop one way or the other. If he's so full of himself that he's going to throw shitfit because people won't change the rules to give him exactly what he wants, when he wants it, he can go see how much money someone else will pay him to be in a donkey show instead. I sure don't want to pay a guy like that $10M a year.

    Also Lewis was drafted in the NBA by the Chicago Bulls in the 10th round in '84. Some dude named Michael was drafted that year.
