Pittsburgh Steelers Rumored to Place Franchise Tag on Mike Wallace





There have been rumors that Pittsburgh will place a franchise tag on wide-receiver Mike Wallace. He has become the team?s number one threat on offense and they need to reward him for his abilities. They need to take every action to keep Wallace for the long term. It has also been rumored that other teams may look at signing Wallace if the Steelers do not act on it. This simply cannot happen.

Imagine the Steelers last season without the presence of Mike Wallace. Sure, Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown each had great seasons and are turning into fine young receivers themselves, but without Wallace?s deep threat ability the defense would be able to have more defenders playing up tight. Defenses must keep a safety back at all times when they are playing against Wallace, or they will surely get burnt one or more times during the game.

The franchise tag was implemented by the NFL as tool for teams to keep a player who is scheduled to become a free-agent. Last year, the likes of Peyton Manning, Michael Vick, and Haloti Ngata were designated by their respective teams as the franchise player. Some teams use the tag as insurance to keep that player and hope to resign them the following off-season. This could perhaps be the strategy the Steelers are thinking; Pittsburgh is about $11 million over the salary cap, and the tag would allow them to keep him for at least one more season and free up room to sign him next year.

The Hiring of Todd Haley as offensive coordinator could mean that the offense will start to run the ball more, which translates into not needing the wide receivers to be as involved as they were in the past few seasons. Still, the speed of Wallace cannot be undervalued.

Pittsburgh must do all they can to make sure Mike Wallace is around for years to come. It would be nice if they sign him to a long-term deal, but that is probably wishful thinking due to their salary cap situation.

Dolphins will be back in the next 2-3 seasons!!! They are in too much of a high price market to suck. Fighting with the Miami Heat for publicity. All they need is a god damn QB!!!!!!

 

[JMize]

you can put Buffalo in the MARIO mix as well. Bills have alot of cap room.they need a top defensive end

 

[azbob]

He's an under the radar guy but, Calais Campbell DE for the Cardinals would be a big loss for AZ and a huge pick-up for someone.

He blocks kicks, is strong both on the run and pass and anchored, along with Dockette, the Cardinals interior defense.

That defense was much, much improved in the second half after then understood the schemes of their new D-coordinator (who came from the Steelers).

He is actually more durable than Williams and I'm hoping the Cardinals re-sign him.

Ya they talked about him too.....bunch of names out there....


And hud I agree...if the fins could get a healthy manning for 4-5 years...look out....we r solid everywhere else.....add one more receiver too....like blackmon!

 

[treynolds]

If i were houston i would resign williams over foster. Ben tate can be a above average #1 running back, but its impossible to replace a guy like mario williams

 

[LonghornMM]

If Houston is smart they'll let Williams walk. He was overpaid, injury prone and didn't always give 100%. Talk is that Houston is hoping the MW will give the Texans a hometown discount. I think he'll be better off somewhere else for both party's sake. Houston's defense did just fine without him when he went down for the season.

That's what I said.....williams out and the texans d was arguably best in league at times....they can survive without him fine....

And he would look good in miami colors
