Mike Wallace anyone?

Would be a waste both him and DHB are just Vertical threats both with quesionable hands, only difference is DHB has gotton better much better and can cover on K/O's

Not only no, but HELL NO!

He's an a hole, he doesn't give a full effort and he is a ****** locker room guy.We are loaded at WR. And I wouldn't try to sign him even if we were desperate.

Mike Zimmer disagrees with you, BIG TIME!

Baltimore is showing interest according to PFT.

He's kind of a perfect fit for Flacco's "chuck it up and hope for a pass interference call" offense.

Doesn't this require a receiver to fight for the ball?

For league minimum yes. Anything more than that and I'd pass.

Bryant is a huge loss from a production standpoint. Its a damn shame he doesn't understand the difference between being a pro athlete and being a punk *****. He can be a punk ***** now for the next year.

I'd put my eyes back on the draft and look for a mid-round WR or maybe a veteran scrap heap pickup in the summertime.

Time for Sammie Coates to get his *** up to speed.

Mike Wallace - WR - Free Agent

Free agent Mike Wallace will visit the Ravens Monday.
Wallace looked in decline last year, but would be a strong fit in Baltimore's vertical pass scheme. The Ravens reportedly only have interest in Wallace on a team-friendly deal.

That will really piss me off if I have to see him play for those *****
 
No, I want to see what Sammy Coates can do now.

I'd would rather go with Coates and Heyward Bey at this point. As I said earlier...not even for league minimum.
 
I would not want Wallace back. He had straight line speed, but that was about it. He was not a great route runner, suspect hands, lack of effort, and poor attitude. No thanks.

Exactly. We can get as good or better in the draft or FA. For sure with a better attitude.
 
He did have chemistry with Ben.


I once had an economics class with a future NFLer - does that count the same?
 
I know it's a hindsight thing but I still wonder why the 49ers, who had made the NFC Championship game, didn't go after Wallace in the 2012 free agency period. Wallace only had a first round tender and could have easily have been made a deal we couldn't match. The Niners had a ton of cap room and needed a WR. Instead they opted to draft AJ Jenkins who has all of 17 career catches and ran with 35 year old Randy Moss as their #2 WR in the Super Bowl. Really odd choice by them.

That requires the receiver to fight for the ball... Not Mike's gig.
 
Think it would be great to have Wallace back, but he probably costs too much. What a pain in the *** it would be to cover our receivers.

I think it allready is, even with out him. Of all the teams in the NFL, our team is most equiped at WR, bar none. Even with MB suspended we will be A-ok ! !!!




Salute the nation
 
I say we offer him a contract. Then before he accepts it, rescind it and give Antonio Brown an extension!
 
Wallace in Ratland today meeting with Rat brass.
 
I see Wallace visited the Ravens yesterday. No word if a contract was even offered but I am assuming this early in the free agency period Mike is still trying to cash in one last big contract before it's all said and done. He will be 30 when the season starts and might only have 2-3 years left. He still has very good speed as he was open a ton for the Vikings but Teddy and his popgun of an arm always under threw him. I would think where every he goes he'd want a QB that will and can throw deep and to be honest Flacco and his hail mary on a prayer style of play might benefit Wallace. Open or covered you know Flacco is just going to launch it deep. If he leaves Baltimore without a contract maybe we can see if he will come in for a 1 year deal to have a nice season and then cash in somewhere else again. But I have a feeling he is not wanting to go into FA never year turning 31 not having a contract.

So I guess the long and short of it is if he's willing to take a 1 year 2-3 million dollar deal I would consider it.
 
Mike Wallace is a better "Player" these days, not the guy who left here. He's matured and is a team player. As luck would have it he may not have become that way if he'd have had QBs that could get him a deep ball or two.

If the price is right, for sure.
