Ross continues to suffer from foot in mouth disease

Pretty much the same statement others have said from within. Could be be trade bait talk but it doesn't sound like Wallace will be back.
What he said is the truth though, no decision has been made at this point.

Wallace is under contract, it's not like he is a free agent. So by answering in that way he is basically confirming that there is a strong possibility that he will be cut or traded. That's a big no-no for the owner because that will definitely impact relations and negotiations between the team and the player/agent

ehh I dunno, I'd rather him say something ambiguous like that rather than speak out of turn on if the decision is leaning any which way.
Like if Hickey, TBaum and Philbin agreed they're going to try hard to keep him, but Ross said "we'll be gauging some alternative solutions."

Does anyone ever go over what to say or not say to this guy before he addresses the press?
With ears that big you think he'd hear his advisors
Here is his actual quote
Oh the humanity, get the pitchforks. How does this guy even tie his shoes everyday?

He pays people to tie his shoes, that's just what billionaires do.

Well Ross, our GM, and others, cannot be certain about Wallace until we see what's out there in free agency...I think Demaryius Thomas and TE Julius Thomas are becoming free agents for the Broncos....there might be some guys out there who will be upgrades over Wallace.

I dont know how he gets his shirts on over those ears. Remember the Seinfeld episode when George wants an apology from the guy in AA and the guy wouldnt give him because his "rather bulbous head" stretched out the neck of the sweater... Ross's ears are so big i'm not sure how he would get a T-shirt over those things.
Ross wasn’t asked directly about Coyle or the defense during his brief Q&A with reporters Friday, but did weigh in on the team overall.
“They were up and down,” he said of the 8-8 team. “We thought we were getting there and didn’t make it. I think there’s a lot of reason to be optimistic that we’re on our way, and I think you saw the development of Ryan [Tannehill] and a lot of the other players, and I think that bodes well. You see all of these teams making coaching changes, and then you see us, none of them have quarterbacks, or most of them don’t. I think that bodes well for the future, and we can really build something.”
Ross also insisted that despite the arrival of Mike Tannenbaum, Dennis Hickey remains the team’s general manager, both in name and action. Tannenbaum was hired as the team’s executive vice president of football operations earlier this month, but the 53-man roster still belongs to Hickey.
“I think if you look at organizations, and see their strengths and their weaknesses, and you bring people in to complement it, not supplement it,” Ross said. “I think we have an organization and a structure that will work with people that will complement each other and bring strengths to the organization that they wouldn’t otherwise have.
He added: “Football is a more complex game than it used to be, and looking for that competitive edge is a hard thing to find. Organizations take time to put together. They don’t happen overnight. When you really look at organizations, evaluate them, evaluate the people, you have to have them all working together and complementing each other. It’s not a question of power struggle. It’s a question of really making sure your I’s are dotted and your T’s are crossed.”
