Mike Wallace Going to Miami?

Mike Wallace is rumored to be the Miami Dolphins No. 1 offseason priority as they look to bolster their receiving core for quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Wallace, the former Pittsburgh Steeler, joins the list of many receivers that have been rumored to interest a Miami team that has money to spend.

Wallace, who is 26, is a better option than Greg Jennings, who has also been tied to possibly signing with the Dolphins in 2013. Wallace is three years young than Jennings and one of the fastest receivers in the league.

Either addition would be great for the Dolphins since they already possess one of the great receivers of 2012, Brian Hartline. He will be entering his fifth year in the league and he could use some help on the other side of the field.

Who knows what can happen if the Dolphins add another decent receiver to the mix? They were 7-9 in 2012 good for second place in the AFC East.

If you ask around Miami however, they just wouldn't want any receiver, they'd want Wallace. He is probably the second best receiver on the market behind Dwayne Bowe and will cost the team somewhere around $10-11 million a year, which they can afford.

Could Wallace soon be singing this song?

The Dolphins released Reggie Bush which allowed them to loosen up some money. 

When healthy, Wallace is dangerous, even when he's not healthy, he can draw defenders and make a difference on the field. In four seasons the wide receiver has totalled 4,042 receiving yards with 32 touchdowns on 235 receptions.

Who knows how far Wallace could take the Dolphins?

How do you feel about the Dolphins' focus on Wallace? Do you think it's an investment worth making?
