I thought it was a no-brainer that Miami would cut him given his huge cap hit and the fact that he quit on the team a couple of times last season, but apparently he has some support from the front office.
The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins are still "genuinely uncertain" about Mike Wallace's future with the team.
Per reporter Barry Jackson, there is front-office support for keeping Wallace, but "the cap hit is an issue." Owed $32.9 million over the next three seasons, Wallace comes with a $12.1 million cap number for 2015. That's steep for a team that's apparently all in on free agent Ndamukong Suh. On the other hand, Miami has already cut Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson, and isn't entirely assured of keeping transition player Charles Clay. Cutting Wallace is far from a no-brainer.
