Tom Shaw says Wallace's report to the Steelers "has to be soon"...doesn't want $100 million

Steelcity,

I posted all those things last week in various threads. Not trying to toot my horn per say but I'm just showing the hypocrisy around here.

He can be as fast as lightining and run around the field catching balls all day long, it don't translate into football.

It's all about the fn money. This sport is really dying. I don't give a fuk about any of these prima donna's anymore. It is now just the offense (needs work as usual) and the defense and the special team. Tomlin forgot to depth the QB again et fn cetera. Remember when. Wallace, who the hell cares.

from all reports, this offense with a short passing game, with a lot of run after the catch, which means timiing is everything. Wallace game up to this point has been the "splash" plays. Long down the field routes. Which means he needs to get here soon, if he plans to have a important role with this team this year.

I would love an receiving core of: MW, AB, ES and JC: but only if they are on time with BR. No being were you are surpose to be, can lead to INT

This team will gel, it's only the first pre season game They will get Wallace back and that will give everyone a shot in the arm and then they will play like a Super Bowl Contender

I won't thrive on speculation. When he's in camp i'll believe it.

Everything in life is about money. The Steelers said a big f-u to Wallace by giving Brown a big contract.

He'll be back.

C-town

I would argue that the Steelers made a prudent business making sure their best receiver didn't wind up in a similar situation next year, when Wallace would be UFA and Brown and Sanders would have been RFA and they could have lost them all.

Whatever message Wallace perceives out of this move is totally up to him.

Now that the dust has kinda settled on the AB deal, I agree with the above. I think the front office was just being proactive for next year by signing brown now.
