This is from ESPN Insiders

In Miami, Wallace therefore doesn't come close to creating enough value to make his salary worth paying. Rather than continuing to pay eight digits for a wide receiver who ranked 75th and then 19th in DVOA the last two years, Miami should look to unload Wallace for a Day 3 draft pick. Trading Wallace would give Miami $5.5 million in badly needed cap relief for 2015 and get him off the books by 2016. And Miami has a logical suitor in Seattle.

Russell Wilson throws a great deep ball and must be dying to have a legitimate deep threat. Not to mention that Mike Wallace would team with Chris Matthews to make the NFL's greatest ever news team at wide receiver.

From Walker in reference to the Insiders

The Dolphins have several options. But according to Andrew Healy of Football Outsiders Insider, the team should trade Wallace to a receiver-needy team. Healy writes the Dolphins could get a mid-round draft pick and cites a title contender such as the Seattle Seahawks as a possible landing spot.

Is this the best course of action? The Dolphins could save a lot of cap room by trading Wallace, as opposed to releasing him. But a mid-round pick isn't close to the value of the player.

Wallace is arguably the most dangerous deep threat in the NFL. The problem is the Dolphins are not using him properly, partially due to scheme and partially due to quarterback Ryan Tannehill's inability to throw a consistent deep ball. Plus, it will be difficult for Miami to find another No. 1 receiver to replace Wallace's production. He led the team with 862 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.

Trading Wallace would simply be a move to get rid of salary. The Dolphins do need the cap room. But in a must-win year for

Wallace to Seattle makes little sense. Can they even afford to pay him? You cant pay every position on the field big money and its clear where they have decided to put theirs and it sure as hell ain't the WRs.
 
Keep Wallace, work out the issues, and have a receiver who gives you 10+ td's a season. Give him the opportunity to be worth his contract. He found the fire last year. A better Tannehill, and a better line protecting Tannehill can make this a beautiful thing.
 
trading Wallace is not simply an issue of dumping salary. Walker can't be that dense, can he?
 
James Walker is doing nothing but spreading crap on walls.

and we are doomed. nothing more needs to be read all offseason.

we are in cap hell. lol

We are not in cap hell by any stretch...

Thumbs down from one of the worst posters on the board, guess I'm right about that.

exactly
 
For a Day 3 draft pick? That's literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, but then again we're the morons who traded a top-3 WR for only two third rounders.
 
why trade wallace to seattle so they can go to super bowl again because pete carol will make Wallace play. our hc need step up. we all have been on job the best worker our hardest one deal w so u used them to your advange. as supervisor. bottom line joe u need treaty player like jimmy Johnson .i don't think that all wr are sold on tannehill but he is best qb we got for now...

totally agree with this comment...

also we need wallace i think to keep this team improving and going in the direction we need to go (at least for the near future)

why would we be trading him for a day 3 draft pick anyways... god do we just always get screwed in trades, while there is New England always destroying teams in trades...

It reminds me of the Deion Branch trade to Seattle, where New England sent their Super bowl MVP, and solid WR, to Seattle for a 1st round pick (Brandon Meriweather). And after some injured and okay seasons with Seattle was traded back for a fourth round pick.
Then there is the Wes Welker trade, where our only bright spot in a Joey Harrington offense was horribly analysed by Cam Cameron and staff... and sent to the Patriots for a second round pick (Samson Satelle).
 
Wilson is better suited to throw to Wallace than Tannehill.

But this doesn't get done.

Don't think it's even a glimmer in anyone's eye.
