Wallace is another guy like Harvin, Holmes, etc. that will get overpaid by someone based on name.  Wallace is a burner with explosive potential, but, IMO, hasn't played up to his paycheck bracket since Pittsburgh.  On a cheap deal, I'd consider him, but his attitude is too reminiscent of Harvin and Holmes.

29 years old, 6'0" 200 lbs., 8th season, has deep speed, inconsistent hands, and earned a bad rep in Miami. Chances aren't good, but we'll see. Must come cheap.

Word was that the Vikes wanted him at 5-6 million, which I'd call a pretty fair offer for how he's performed - but he wanted a few million more.

Get the impression he still believes he's better / worth more money than he actually is.

Was a bad fit in Minnesota. Bridgewater doesn't have the cannon to take advantage of Wallace's best ability, his deep speed. Since we play Minnesota next season, I'm disappointed he won't be there clunking up their offensive gameplan and locker room.

I'd love to have him but not for anything close to what he wants plus we've got Ginn for another year and he's basically Ted Ginn with a little better hands. If he's available again next year for cheap and we don't re-sign Ginn then absolutely. Not now though.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
