Steelers stop negotiations with Mike Wallace
The Pittsburgh Steelers had a run-test on Wednesday as they geared up for their 2012 training camp, but head coach Mike Tomlin had bigger things on his mind than who might not have passed their conditioning exams. It was also announced on Wednesday that the team has cut off negotiations with receiver Mike Wallace, who was given a first-round tag as a restricted free agent.
The tender, which Wallace has refused to sign, would guarantee him $2.72 million and would require any team interested in trading for his services to give up a first-round pick in return. Wallace wants a long-term deal, and though there had been some dialogue and false reports about an imminent agreement, the two sides closed off talks this week.
