[HtownColt]

Horrible contract they gave him

nobody isn't going to take on that contract. He'll be outright cut if you ask me. Teams should just wait, just a matter of time

[RockThatBlue]

Horrible contract they gave him

Totally agree.

[Nobody]

Horrible contract they gave him

Only because Tannehill can't throw a deep ball to save his wife's life.

[COLTS449]

I've been thinking they would release him. I don't see a team trading for him though.

[pgt_rob]

Trade them Trent Richardson's half eaten ham sandwich for him.

[21isSuperman]

Have fun trying to find someone to take on that contract

[#BringBobBack]

Trade them Trent Richardson's half eaten ham sandwich for him.

they make such bad decisions with contracts and draft picks they'd jump at the idea

[COLTS449]

Trade them Trent Richardson's half eaten ham sandwich for him.

 

You think Trent would only eat half of the sandwich? ....

[ColtsBlueFL]

I remember all the media "experts" and even Tomlin were talking about how Wallace can take 'the top off a defense' when he was about to become available.  All Wallace did was take the top off the Dolphin payroll.

 

OTOH, all of the guaranteed money has been paid. The Dolphins dead money cap hit is only 6.6 million if they cut him. But as bad as he's performed, he was still the Fins best receiver.  Unless Miami has a trick up their FA sleeve, MW will be back again for 2015.  I doubt anybody will bite on a trade with what remains on his contract for base salary, but you never know.

[MTC]

Mind as well cut him. 

[Superman]

Only because Tannehill can't throw a deep ball to save his wife's life.

How come he can't do anything but run a go route?

[RockThatBlue]

You think Trent would only eat half of the sandwich? ....

He would eat 2.9% of the sandwich

[Nobody]

How come he can't do anything but run a go route?

Good point, but to his credit he got better at being more than just a deep threat this season.

[OhioColtsGirl]

Only because Tannehill can't throw a deep ball to save his wife's life.

Uhh yeah. I second that. His deep ball is awful. Pathetic

[Yoshinator]

He would eat 2.9% of the sandwich

actually he would eat 3.3% of the sandwich, but he still wouldn't get the first down.

[akcolt]

good luck Any team that trades for Wallace without restructuring his contract would owe him $32.8 million over the next three seasons, according to the Miami Herald.

Only she doesn't needs saving with the AR-15's she rides around with in her trunk.

Good points. They may still cut him because he has been an issue in the locker room. He has gotten into with the coaches about the way they use him and with Tanny wanting him to throw the ball to him more. I would not be surprised if they just cut bait given the small hit they will take if they can't get a trade.

[Indeee]

If reasonable I wouldn't mind having Wallace on the Colts. Him burning over the top would open the under so much. Not at his contract though, but Wallace, Hilton, Moncrief and Carter would be formidable.

[Valpo2004]

As has been said, his contract is too big for anyone to take him.  

 

Dolphins got fixated on him and gave him way too much money.

Agreed, I still can't believe the money they gave him given his previous production. So many front offices fall for the glitz and glamour of a fancy new offensive toy and overspend.

Games are won and lost in the trenches, period. Look no further than the 2 SB teams this year, one of which was a repeat and the other was in 4 conf. Championships in a row.. neither team had any big time receivers and they were the cream of the crop because they had what counts, good offensive and defensive line play, great QB play and a strong defense

Adding some nice toys to the receiving core should come after the other key areas of the team have been solidified.

Its the result of the fantasy football generation and Internet forums that drive the desire to see big name wide receivers putting up gawdy stats so that people can argue in a forum about who's the better player because of yardage, tds and all that garbage.. its about winning.

^^^This All of This just hilarious

[oldunclemark]

That's a heavy load contract

...call the raiders

[oldunclemark]

$11.5 mil in 2016 AND 2017...mercy!

[dgambill]

Two words......GOOD LUCK!!

 

 

 

Guy is getting cut...no one is paying that salary outside of Miami....they bid against themselves in getting him and are paying for it.

Jeff Ireland, Miami's GM at the time, knew he was on the hot seat and got desperate. GMs on shaky ground are scary.

[Qwiz]

Well this went about as well as expected for Miami.

[Dr. Guildo]

 

Only because Tannehill can't throw a deep ball to save his wife's life.

Probably because he is too busy getting hit, and fumbling the ball to do so. None the less... I wouldn't be complaining if I got to go home to her at night though.

You'd be fine going home to your wife a lose and a terrible QB?

Hmmm, to each their own I suppose lol

[HarryTheCat]

I'm surprised that they haven't asked Rob Konrad to take him out on a fishing trip.

the seahawks Oline is nothing special.

[Superman]

They can run block.

[Synthetic]

Send him to New Orleans. We need wide receivers for sure. 

[BpG]

They would have to GIVE teams draft picks to take that contract. 

[Bobbycovert]

Thats just ignorant.  Tannehill has some weaknesses but in no way could you call him a "lose" (I assume you meant loser) and terrible QB. Honestly, I'd be willing to bet there are 10-12 teams in the league who would consider him an upgrade.

 

Houston

Cleveland

Tampa Bay

Tennessee

Philly

St. Louis

Chicago

Washington

Jacksonville

Buffalo

Jets

and more that are probably debatable (looking at you San Francisco)

[oldunclemark]

Exactly..Miami is stuck with him
