What if Mike Wallace is traded? (1 Viewer)

[ATG]

I own Mike Wallace on several of my teams. What is the likelihood that he will be traded? If he stays with Steelers,will he be disgruntled and play to his full ability? If he is traded, what teams would improve his ranking?

 

[King of the Jungle]

What is the likelihood that he will be traded?

-36%

If he stays with Steelers,will he be disgruntled and play to his full ability?

-Most of the time, but not all of the time.

If he is traded, what teams would improve his ranking?

-I don't see another team improving his ranking. Big Ben's ability to extend the play is the perfect fit for Wallace.

Question: If the Steelers part with Wallace, would Sanders elevate to the #2WR?

Clearly. Cotchery isn't good enough to be a #2 anymore.Also, the title of this post should be changed to something like "What happens if Mike Wallace is traded?"

:lock:

What is the point of this thread? To discuss "what ifs?"

The title is very misleading.

Change the title of this thread ffs

If he is going to the Pats, then where does Welker go after this year?

 

[Bankerguy]

Am I only one who thinks thinks Wallace is over rated as an NFL WR?

Runs a great 9 route, thats it.

I dont understand this. Theres plenty of info sprinkled across this board and across a ton of fantasy and real football sites showing this isnt true. One can look at any number of stats such as how far the ball traveled in the air before it got to him and a bunch of others. One can also watch the games and see how he was used last year, how deep his routes were and where they were. I've never seen "conventional wisdom" stick so much to a player when it is demonstrably untrue. It's very odd.

Yeah, I'd love to see some info on this. Would the Steelers really trade with one of their main rivals in the conference and make NE a much better team?

Id say chances he gets traded within the next 2 weeks is greater than 50%...If he's not traded by then, I think the chances decrease to close to pretty much not happening until there's a big injury during the season on a team that makes sense.

 

[Buck Stop]

would love to see the Panthers or Redskins trade for him.

Dallas was the first team I thought of when this entire situation came up.Rumors were that Dallas and Buffalo had put in third round bids for Josh Gordon in the supplemental draft.

I would imagine Pittsburgh would want to ship Wallace out of the AFC so teams like, Dallas, Washington, Minnesota, Seattle, San Francisco, etc, make sense to speculate on.

The one issue I thought about with Dallas was that whole cap-fine thingy.

I thought Dallas had some issues with cap space.

Greg Cosell weighs in on what Mike Wallace brings to the table.

My link

... "What Mike Wallace brings to the table, which very few guys in the NFL do, is pure, pure speed," Greg Cosell of NFL Films and ESPN's NFL Matchup recently told us, when we asked him if Brown or Sanders could take Wallace's "X-iso" spot on a consistent basis. "He may be the fastest receiver in the entire league. You're concerned about that, because you miss that element. No defensive coordinator wants to give up 60-yard touchdowns -- that's just the way it works. Can Brown or Sanders be that guy? Probably not, in terms of lifting off the coverage like that."

It makes sense to speculate that Dalls would be interested. The one thing I thought would be an issue with Dallas would be how to fit him under the cap but in terms of what he brings and how he'd fit with the Boys, yeah. That part makes sense.

Oy. No. Jerry needs to calm down. We don't need a Lee Evans type receiver on this team. Especially not at the price he would command in trade and salary.

I'd have to go out and search for one. I've read many articles this season breaking down the stats, avg ball in air numbers, and so on due to being a pats fan and all that speculation this spring. also saw most steelers games last year. I'll see if i can find one of the articles but just looking on pfr yields quite a few games like the pats game where he was 7/70 with a long of 16 or the bengals game where he was 6/54 long of 13 or 3/38/2 in the other bengals game with good looks in the endzone. they were trying to get him on short routes all year and he was targeted on many routes other than 9 and performed well. he does the 9 exceptionally well but has learned a lot and can perform well on other routes. I'll see if i can find the links when i get home tonight.

Thanks.He seems like the AFC's DeSean Jackson. I'm not saying he doesn't catch or run other routes. However, I do see him as a deep threat and not really doing much else well on a consistent basis.

Wallace is much better than you have been mis-lead to believe.

24 TDs in his first three seasons is a significant stat.

Speed to take the top off a defense opens everything up.

PFF has him in the top-five in the efficiency lists for different routes he runs so all of the BS about him not being able to run routes is plain wrong.

He is underpaid for his production so he is going to get his pay day.

Lee Evans had 24 TDs his first three years, as well. That worked out well.Wallace ain't worth the $ he's asking for, and he's certainly not worth the $ he's asking for AND the compensation the Steelers would ask for in a trade.

Lee did so since Lee Evans had 24 TDs and then hasn't reproduced those numbers then Mike Wallace = Lee Evans and therefore isn't worth the money?Name the guys out there right now who are as young and with the speed and who have produced 24 TDs?

Oh no wait, the guy actually wants to get paid.

Deal killer, right?

No one should get paid expect for Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johsnson beause everone else is delusional and Lee Evans.

Right.

Well what about the picks? The Steelers would expect at least the third round pick that they got for Santonio Holmes. Horrors!

Much better to wait a year and then draft a kid next year in the third round and not pay him and hope he'd develop in a coulple of years instead of making a move for a kid who has the, talent, production, and rare speed?

[cobalt_27]

Oh, and Antonio Brown is better. And he doesn't have 24 TDs over the past three years. Don't worry Brucie...earth isn't spinning off it's axis. Just can't judge a player by profootballreference.com, alone.

 

[Menudo]

Wallace is a very good receiver. Yes, he can run other routes than the 9. However, as a Steeler fan that watches every game, I think that Antonio Brown will turn out to be the better all-around receiver. Brown emerged as Ben's go-to-guy in the 2nd half of last year. I really like what he brings to the table. I don't see the Steelers trading Wallace. The Steelers have the power. If Wallace wants to get payed Fitzgerald type money, then he better get his butt into training camp, sign the tender and prove that he is worth that kind of money. I think that this year will further prove that Brown is every bit as good as Wallace, and likely a slightly better overall receiver (not in fantasy terms, but, in real-life football).

Brings more speed, for sure. He's super duper fast.

 

[H8fulHuck]

Steeler fan here and I love me some mike wallace. Defenses have to respect him on every play or Ben will find him for a TD. With the new commitment to the run and a new O-coordinator, I could see a special year for wallace. The team is definitely better off with him on the field. MW has definitely improved his route running, but his best route by far is the 9. It became painfully clear that MW isn't a special receiver when it comes to the shorter routes after Ben got hurt. When Ben couldn't extend the plays and the line was a sieve, wallace got lost. The team tried to use him on the bubble screens to keep him involved. A healthy Ben and improved O-line (how could it not be better?) is going to make MW relevant again.

That said, the Steelers FO is smart enough to avoid mortgaging the team's future to over pay for a WR. Pgh will do what they can to keep this weapon while he's in his prime, but I think MW is hell bent on testing the market. It's up to the front office to determine if they can get something back for a guy who is likely playing his last season (or 2 with franchise tag) with the team vs trade for other players or draft picks. For mike, I can't fault the guy for wanting to get paid. The NFL is a harsh business. Unfortunately, when one serious injury or age takes away his speed, MW is going to become over paid at almost any salary. That alone could prevent the big payday he is seeking.

[mjr]

I can see Wallace to Indianapolis being discussed behind some closed doors... Indy is all about youth and speed now and they can really use a proven guy opposite (or eventually to take over for) Wayne. I'm sure Arians wouldn't mind having him either. Just a thought. But I think an extended holdout is more likely than a trade.

 

[Freedonia]

I read on rotoworld that the Steeler's would get a third round pick if Wallace walks in 2013 so they would want a second round pick or better for the trade. Why would a team be willing to give that up for a year with what seem to be unreasonable contract demands that Wallace is spouting off now. There seems to be some debate as to how good he is but I don't think anyone thinks he is Larry Fitzgerald which is what kind of money he wants. As a Romo owner I would love to see him go to Dallas, but just don't think it will happen. As a question is any so confident that he will be traded that they are trying to deal for Sanders.

Laurent Robinson leaving could be the catalyst for Dallas' interest in Wallace. Contact demands of MW have been mixed, but sounds closer to 11+ m per season.

Saw that too. Good job by Pgh to put out that fire before it got out of control. Even if they consider trades, they don't want to add fuel right now. Focus on the players in camp with or without MW.

The Steelers are expected to listen to trade offers for Wallace, and Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has “guessed” that he might only cost a fourth-round pick. If the monetary price has come down, too, then perhaps a team looking for a playmaker will be willing to pay those costs, and the receiver nicknamed “60 Minutes” will be playing ball in a different locale in 2012.

So if Bouchette is right about this, and say they would trade him for a 4th or even 5th rounder (yes, I realize this goes against what Colbert said a couple posts up), do we still get the 3rd round compensatory pick for Wallace or not?? If not, it makes absolutely no sense to let him go at that price.

No you don't.He would fetch a 3rd if he just hits FA normally.

So if Bouchette is right about this, and say they would trade him for a 4th or even 5th rounder (yes, I realize this goes against what Colbert said a couple posts up), do we still get the 3rd round compensatory pick for Wallace or not?? If not, it makes absolutely no sense to let him go at that price.

No you don't.He would fetch a 3rd if he just hits FA normally.

So basically no way in hell he isnt a Steeler until at least next offseason unless we get a 2nd rounder (or higher) for him then.While frustrating, the Steelers have everything in their hands except for Wallace's longterm deal at this point. Dude has nothing to stand on.
