Mike Wallace's deal ended up being 5 years, $60 million, with $27 million guaranteed -- including a $15 million base salary (!!) in 2014

Dolphins trying to buy credibility? Wonder how this all pans out 3 years down the road?

Tannehill is the key component to that obviously, but I still think Miami gets Cordarelle Patterson in the draft which would be very complementary to what Hartline and Wallace do and makes the potential of their passing game very potent. I'm not completely sold on Tannehill though.

If Ryan improves and proves himself a legit franchise QB, then he will likely do so because Wallace is at his disposal. If he pulls a Ponder and just sort of hits a wall, then Wallace's numbers won't look good and people will call him a bust and try other receivers as if they are the problem.

But one legitimate reason to question Wallace is that he became a stud because Roethlisberger was his QB. Ben has a history of making his receivers shine.

I meant financially. If Tannehill prospers he will command a huge contract. Then the Phins will be in the same place that the Steelers were with Wallace this year and the Ravens with Boldin, Ellerbe etc.

Seattle is doing the same having found a quality QB that is earning peanuts. Wilson is due to earn less than $1,000,000 on the last year of his rookie deal. So, they can afford to drop big bucks elsewhere. Seattle has a real shot at a superbowl between now and then.

The Dolphins? I don't think so. They aren't even close. Nor is Tannehill playing at Wilson's level.

It's a high risk IMO.
