Is Mike Wallace worth a $60 million contract from the Dolphins?

Add to the team through the draft. Anyone ask why Pittsburgh isnt resigning him??

They tried to re-sign him. They offered him $55 million.

At this point, I don't care how much the team spends on a particular player, just make sure you go out and get a play-maker. That's all I can ask and hope for.

This is how I feel. I don't care if we overpay for someone as long as he performs at his own best level.

I honestly don't care if we sign any major FA's. We have a horrific track record with FA's. And the percentages get worse the more we pay.

I know we need WR help, I'd rather sign Hartline, get Jennings and draft our future WR1. At least Jennings is a known commodity who knows the system. He's not a "me" player. Wallace seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

But, Pittsburgh does have a proven track record of drafting and developing good WRs. I just prefer Jennings' knowledge of our system and staff over the upside of Wallace's age and health.

although i'd rather have the younger wallace i just believe a santonio holmes situation will happen where the guys just a "me" player and only cares about himself. i think holmes is good but i just think were better off signing Jennings, hartline and use that 1st rd pick on a pass rusher, or CB. use a early 2nd for a wr. we could fill one or 2 more holes if we sign jennings compared to holmes

If Wallace and Jennings were going to get the same amount of money I would rather have Wallace. However I think we will have to over pay Wallace a lot more than Jennings.......so I think Jennings would be the Smarter move....Sign Jennings, keep Hartline, draft a speedster high.

No. Let's draft our guys like the Broncos, Colts, Steelers, Giants.

Time for Jeff to earn his money.

Mike Wallace is a proven, NFL-caliber, play-making, speedster WR. I would rather have Wallace than the unproven potential "play-maker" WR pick Ireland makes in the draft. I mean, look at his (Ireland's) track record.

There are various reasons (many of which are unbeknowst to us here on the fan forums) why a particular team decides not to resign a particular player.

Besides, do you really think "building through the draft" and "Jeff Ireland" really add up? More than signing established playmaking WRs?

And Vincent Jackson did so much to elevate the Bucs to an elite level. They went 7-9........wait a sec, that's the same records as the WR challenged Dolphins. I think some of you get seduced by a player's potential and never stop to consider whether he will blend seamlessly into the offense. I would like to see Wallace or Jennings with the Phins. However, it has to be for a mutually beneficial deal.

Wallace is a 'fit any scheme' kind of player.

His home run threat ability every play opens up the offense for all others on the offense.

We just finished paying Jake Long almost $60M on his contract but we're balking at giving a proven playmaker, in his prime no less, a similar amount? Part of the reason this team is mired in mediocrity is that we have a handful of good but few great players, especially on offense where our best players are on the line.
