Thoroughly confused as to why they would choose to give him such a low 2013 salary cap number at the direct expense of his ultra-high 2014 salary cap number.

Ouch at the salary cap hit next year...

I thought I read somewhere that before FA we only had $71M or so on the books next season. Even if you had the $18M from Wallace that still leaves us at $89M. I don't know what Ellerbe's contract looks like for next season.
Edit:
Found this.

Edit whoops wrong thread

Even with Wallace and the monster number our cap number next year still looks really healthy.
Makes sense why Dansby and Burnett were designated June 1st cuts now, to offset some of that Wallace number.
If Wallace bombs we could actually cut him after 2 years and get a decent cap saving.inFINSible, PhinGeneral, finyank13 and 2 others like this. -

I can certainly see where some of these guys may be gone by then (thomas, patterson, marshall)PhinGeneral and byroan like this. -

I think its maybe time to give Dawn Aponte some serious props.

So, it's basically a 2 year deal... unless we choose to keep it going. KB will be pleased. We will be able to get out before Wallace loses all of his speed... the only thing that makes him effective in the NFL.

In spite of this year I really think we will stick to counting on the draft to build the team. I don't think we will be such big players again in FA any time soon. At least I hope not. If we are, then it will probably indicate we've continued to do a poor job of building the team.

Keep in mind though that Miami's going to have to eventually extend Reshad Jones for next year, and if they're smart, in my opinion, they'd start working on Mike Pouncey, maybe Chris Clemons, and consider guys like Tannehill, Miller, and Martin if they prove they're legitimate this year.

For example... the 49ers and Seahawks will have very cheap, productive QBs for a while. -
Could be wrong though... I'm not good with the cap stuff. -
I don't see how this is just a two year deal. A lot more likely the deal lasts 3 years.
Cutting him after year two would incur almost $10M in dead money. Cutting him after the third year would incur ~$4.5M. If they're going to cut him after 2014, they might as well keep him another year.
Essentially its a 3 year deal for $30M.
What is going to be interesting to see is how much the salary cap increases in 2015. Very likely will see Mike Wallace hold out for more money going into 2015 in accordance with a significantly increased cap number.Clark Kent likes this. -

2. Client could make more money with better play. Think Joe Flacco salary now vs. extension in 2010/2011. -
2. The client is also at great risk of injury and subsequently making very little. The overwhelming majority of players will strike when the iron is hot. Flacco is the exception to the rule really. Nobody wants to play on the final year of their contract. Thats why players hate the franchise tag so much. -

With Jordy Nelson, he's going to have the same issue that Greg Jennings has when it comes time to be a free agent. He signed for security before he blossomed, and now he's underpaid for what he does. When he gets to the point that he can cash in, he's going to be a 30 year old receiver who people aren't going to jump to giving a big contract to.
I'll bet dollars to donuts that Green Bay takes one of these three receivers in this draft (Quinton Patton, Stedman Bailey, or Ryan Swope). -
