Mike Wallace's dad was interviewed and this is what he had to say about the current situation.


That's according to his father Burnell, who told the Miami Herald that the uncertainty has been "tough" for his son.
"Right now, he's been talking to them," Burnell Wallace said late Wednesday morning. "He thinks he's going to stay there. He doesn't have a problem staying. [But] they really don't know. I really can't give you a definitive answer."

Wallace said his expects his son to know one way or the other next week — which makes sense. The Dolphins must pay Wallace a $3 million bonus if he is on the roster on March 14.

If the Fins can't find a trading partner, which I don't think will happen, I definitely think Wallace will be back. They can cut a lot more dead weight than Wallace if they want to be players in signing Suh. Plus with the release of Hartline and Gibson (as little as they contributed) this offense needs Wallace.
 
If Wallace was going to be released they would of done so by now. Tannehill can't complete passes to himself. It could not be more idiotic then to cut one of the few playmakers we have on this team.

I honestly don't think he's safe until his roster bonus has been paid on the 14th. There is just to much speculation right now on what the Fins are trying to accomplish this offseason with the entire roster.
 
How many WR had 10 TD last year? Unless we're replacing him with one of those guys..... NO BUENO!!
 
I am praying the days of cutting productive players and replacing them with unproductive players left with Jeffey boy. If this regime cuts wallace and replaces him with lets say a draft pick...... I'll be officially on the clean house bangwagon and every thread I post from that day forward will be clean house related.

It doesn't appear to be that way...at least not yet...

SO far, the only questionable move was the Clay transition

How likely is Mike Wallace to match his career high for touchdown receptions in back to back years?

Well without Hartline and Gibson around it may be very likely if they are replaced by Matthews/Hazel/Rookies. Landry and Clay will take some of their targets but Wallace will get more as well.
 
i think if he doesnt know yet it's not good for him actually staying but then again his fathers talking to the media and i'm sure he's been coached on what is ok and what's not to say...so yet another thing i'm not reading anything into

I just don't see how they can't bring him back with the release of Hartline and Gibson. There would be just to much unfamiliarity at the WR position. Sure Cobb is out there but he is the only # 1 WR worth close to the $ his contract will command and I don't think the Fins will want to release a high priced WR just to go and sign another one. That's just to much money tied up into the position without enough return on investment.

Damn I just had a crazy idea. What if the Fins are swirling all of these Suh rumors so they can sign Cobb and keep Wallace. That would be a filthy WR core with Cobb, Landry and Wallace as your 1,2 & 3. You could then go DT/MLB/CB in rounds one through three based on best available and address the other roster holes via the FA money you save by not signing Suh.
 
We better keep Wallace. Our offense without him will be facing a whole slew of trouble. Just having Wallace on the field changes how defenses have to play us. They have to respect Wallace, without him there is nobody to respect. I think other than these long passes in stride Tannehill and Wallace are improving. We can't afford to lose the guy that scored 10 TDs! Who's going to pick up that slack? Hazel? Matthews? Sims? Wallace opens everything up for Landry, Clay, the run game etc. We'll take a huge step backward without him. Surround your young emerging QB with weapons, don't trade them away. Also, there is no great financial gain so in my book we keep him and draft a new reciever in the first or second round. Bring in Phillip Dorsett or DGB. ADD WEAPONS!!!!!! Get Duke Johnson from the Hurricanes. This kid is the all time leading rusher for the Canes!! That's saying quite a lot. Defenses will have to gameplan for guys like the Duke. He's going to be a great player and I'd love to keep this talent right here in Miami. So keep Wallace, draft DGB or Dorsett and make sure Duke Johnson goes to the Dolphins. Then teams will fear our offense.
