Would the Steelers Trade Mike Wallace before the draft?

Patience is needed here because this is essentially posturing by Wallace and Cook.

How would Wallace & Cook take it the told them to take advantage of his time this week and seek Alternate compensation from teams who want him?

Look,

Wallace wants the big contract. And Bus Cook is also driving this too. With that in mind, the front office should straight out approach the Rams and ask them for the # 6 pick for Wallace in a straight swap. Start with the Rams and work our way down the line of teams that we know are considering taking a wide receiver with their first pick.

Wallace is going to learn the same hard lesson that Holmes learned by going to the Jets.

I'd settle for a 2nd and a 5th round pick for Wallace but if we can get a 1st rounder, so be it.

Rams have two 2nd round picks. I agree for the Steelers to contact them and tell Cook to contact teams.

Browns have 13 picks this year?

Thanks, thats good to know. I wasn't sure when I read it if it was true or not.

For this scenario to work the browns need to take blackmon #4

He's not total garbage so why would we trade him to anyone in the AFC NORTH that's retarded send him to Tampa of frisco Dallas Miami anywhere but here

Yesterday, we painstakingly made the case why the Mike Wallace trade rumors made no sense. The entire story seemed like an agent-driven Hail Mary.

Longtime Steelers beat reporter Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was more succinct in his analysis: "Ain't happening."

Well, there you go. Perhaps the Wallace trade talk will have legs, but consider the source of the rumors. There will be teams interested in trading for Wallace for less than a first round pick. But it takes two teams to trade, and the Steelers will have no interest in such a move.

Wallace can huff, puff, and holdout this offseason. We may not see him until training camp. But it's safe to say that the Steelers won't deal him.

Looks like the Trib's Mark Kaboly jumped the gun once again and got what he wanted..a fire storm of viewers to his page and a media frenzy. You guys all were awesome in breaking down why it wouldn't be a great idea, rock on!

I really like the flexibility having 3 2nd round picks would provide.

This stuff goes on all the time. The Rooneys have been to this rodeo many times before as has Bus Cook. Both sides know how the deal works. He can go out and look for a trade partner and when no one bites he comes back with tail between his legs but will eventually get paid in the long-term. If the offer is right, take it and send Wallace on his way.
