Mike Wallace overcame a near-fatal childhood incident to become one of the NFL’s top wide receivers. A new ‘chapter’ with the Dolphins brings him closer to family.
The Vikings offered more, according to Mike Jr. , but Wallace said no thanks. The Rams and Seahawks were among the teams he said also expressed interest. The feeling apparently was not mutual.
:pointlol:
Dangerous fast, Wallace caught nearly three times as many touchdown passes last year (8) as the Dolphins’ group of receivers had combined.
It's up to Tanne now.
But nobody wants to come to Miami :lol: They just have to outbid people and hope for the best.

It's ******* Golden.
Damn, Vikings went to playoffs last year, great RB, and they offered more. He said "no" and came to Miami. **** yeah!

“The had come to the point where they were telling him, ‘You don’t have to live here, just be here during the season,’ ” Wallace’s father, Mike Jr., said by phone this week. “He wanted to get out of that snow and cold weather.”
:lol:
I like that his first name is actually Burnell. Burn baby burn!

Exactly what the defensive coordinator at Hamline university (minnesota) tried to tell me when recruiting me hard for football. He said "ever been fishing chris?"
I said, "yeah, I live in Florida" he says "well, you've never lived until you ice fished!"
then he told me that the majority of the campus buildings had indoor connecting tunnels to block the cold weather. I crossed them off my list quickly haha

Pretty sure the article was saying he was willing to forego money in favor of being able to breath...literally!

At least he's accustomed to playing in the cold

I think he can handle being in cold weather for a handful of days every year compared to living in that climate.

We should have extended Ireland after he resigned Hartline to a team friendly deal. I don't know what Ross is doing.

He's from New Orleans. He understands heat and humidity.
