| Did Steelers choose Brown over Wallace?
July, 30, 2012
By Jamison Hensley | ESPN.com
The headline of the blog is whether the Steelers chose wide receiver Antonio Brown over Mike Wallace. The short answer is no. The popular assumption that the Steelers are unable to pay Wallace after signing Brown isn't true.
"Mike is a great player and we'd love for him to be a Steeler for a long time," Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert told CBSSports.com. "There are always ways to create room if you decide to do it."
The fact remains Brown is in the future plans and Wallace currently isn't. If Pittsburgh can't sign Wallace and he goes elsewhere next offseason, everyone will remember the Steelers choosing Brown over Wallace, whether it's true or not.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac believes the Steelers are taking a risk by signing Brown. "He's had just one good season," Dulac wrote on Twitter. "Needs to back it up with another."

YES! This is all I've been saying. Brown could turn out to be the next Jerry Rice and be one of the greatest receivers to ever play the game. But he could also turn out to be the next Limas Sweed and suddenly forget how to catch a football. There's just not enough body of work to justify locking him up long term. But it's done. So lets hope he continues to improve and becomes the receiver the Steelers think he will.  _________________  If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart.

Limas Sweed actually, at one time, knew HOW TO CATCH A FOOTBALL!?!? How's this the first time I'm hearing this?  _________________ -"I stand corrected...

| The thing is if Brown had another good season what would he have cost us then. I think we got him at a good price this year. In my opinion they done the right thing. _________________  | |

| It's not that the Steelers choose Brown over Wallace, they signed a key component to their offense - one that was easy to sign without creating issues next offseason. _________________  60 MIN 53 MEN 1 NATION STEELERS NATION  I am the MAN that created the MYTH that started the LEGEND
