Really?
I don't think so.. In fact I think Russell Wilson would .. be out there tomorrow, getting his timing with him.. Russell would be a happy camper, I have no doubt.
10 to 15 million, yeah, thats why rice would have to be gone, don't want to pay for both.
Russell would be there tomorrow, unfortunately he'd be throwing to a pretend Wallace, because there is no way in hell that fool would show up before the day he is required to in order to get paychecks. He's shown to be a pretty selfish guy. I'm not going to get into the big long discussion about his work ethic, because yes, he is talented and fast. But... he also is a griper. I don't imagine ending up in Seattle with more money would all of a sudden turn him into a super duper teammate. We've been down this road with Branch and Galloway. Both guys got their big payday and were still just as big of a dink afterward. In fact.... Branch got exponentially worse.
That maybe so,
I was just responding to somebody that Wilson probably would relish having a wr as Wallace, or Fitz.
Things change, motivation changes, who knows, I don't know for sure, but you never know, Wallace may in fact get excited to play with Wilson instead of that guy in Pitts. Hate to label anybody.
Since you're so keen on stats. I checked stats for Sidney Rice and Mike Wallace. They are quite similar except for the amount of receptions. The one thing that stood out to me though is avg yards per recep. Sidney averaged 15.0 whereas the blazing Mike Wallace averaged 13.9. One of the things that Rice does, that Wallace doesn't is that he's not afraid to make a catch in the middle of the field. Usually Antonio Brown, Heath Miller, and Sanders do that for the Steelers. Also Rice comes back to help his QB most of the times, does Wallace do that? I like Wallace but not at the expense of Rice.
