I suppose the Steelers would listen but they have repeatedly said that Wallace is not going to be traded. From a fan's perspective one of the picks better be a 1st even with Bush or I wouldn't do it.ETA - Supposedly Wallace flew to Pittsburgh Saturday night and will report this week. He will not play in the Steelers final preseason game on Thursday.
Exactly. Just a bunch of people dreaming stuff up to fill "news" space.
Make that Tuesday:http://www.steelersdepot.com/2012/08/report-steelers-wr-mike-wallace-to-arrive-tuesday/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SteelersDepotBlog+%28Steelers+Depot+Blog%29
There is a new rule in the CBA that a player signing his contract cannot practice for 3 days. By waiting until Tuesday it guarantees that Wallace will not play in the Steelers final preseason game on Thursday.
I am sure that is a big part of it but possibly also to send a message to the Steelers that he is unhappy about the situation.
As a Bush and Lamar Miller owner this is would be a wet dream (since i have no faith in Daniel Thomas anyway), but more for the Miller end. I think it would hurt Bush's value some, he'd very likely be back to his Saints type roll since the Steelers have plenty of cowbell types (if any can stay/get healthy) and Big Ben is such a red zone/goal line weapon himself. I don't think it would kill him but it would raise some legitimate question marks about being a strongly viable RB2. I would expect less touches but more room to get loose, and hence big games and quiet games (while I expect more consistency in Miami since he's going to get lots of touches but every player on the defense keying on him). Definitely hurts his PPR value. Its all academic though, rumors...
Pretty sure that message was sent and received over a month ago. I just don't get what he thinks he is accomplishing by staying away.
I am sure too but he may feel he is making a point by not reporting until the last minute. There is also the remote possibility that he is still considering a longer holdout.My guess is that it really comes down to making sure he can't play any preseason games.
Or, maybe it is today after all?
http://burgh.us/fsx"Report: Keenan Lewis Says Mike Wallace Will Show Up Todayat 12:07 pm by Dave Bryan Despite Pittsburgh Steelers restricted free agent wide receiver Mike Wallace not being spotted by the media this morning at the Steelers facilities, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports now via Twitter that cornerback Keenan Lewis said that his teammate and childhood friend will show up on Monday."Meanwhile, Antonio Brown just said it's tomorrow...
Exactly.He doesn't want to play Thursday. Zero sense risking it from either side in that game, but Wallace wants to make certain he's not eligible to play against Carolina.
TO and Plaxico are available.Unless they offer something really outlandish I don't see the Steelers trading Wallace.
