Where's Wallace

Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Wallace is hands down shown his ability to perform in the National Football League. The big question now is just how much is he worth. Without a deal in the next three weeks Mike Wallace will become a restricted free agent and a great opportunity for teams in need of a wide receiver. Currently the Steelers are somewhere around 10 million over the salary cap and need to make cuts somewhere. If they do decide to franchise tag Mike Wallace pushing up the cap, they will have tough decision to make elsewhere to cut their cap. Wallace is not alone, Hine Ward, Aaron Smith, James Farrior, and Casey Hampton also need a renewal. When it comes to Wallace the Steelers have to make a decision. They could decide to not keep Mike Wallace and take the chance of him going to a rival such as the Ravens or Bengals. They do have a pretty good core in the wide receiver position with Brown and Sanders stepping up their performance. On the other hand the Steelers could keep the speedy Wallace in their line up. They know his abilities and know he can perform. This would force them into making major cuts elsewhere in their roster.

So Where's Wallace... going to play this up coming season.

Athletic Director

My career interest area is athletic directing. I want to become an athletic director because I want a mix of working with sports and students. I like seeing younger kids develop their sports abilities and through athletic directing I will be able to aid them in their development. Athletic director duties are different everyday. I don't want a job that is repetitious and has the same task needing done every day.  This is why I want to become an athletic director.
