The Dolphins are looking to upgrade their wide receiver situation and after locking up impending free-agent WR Brian Hartline to a 5-year, $30.775 million contract with $12.5 million guaranteed, they now focus on former Steelers WR Mike Wallace.
After ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the league-wide expectation is that WR Mike Wallace will end up signing with the Dolphins, the The Palm Beach Post reported that Wallace to the Dolphins is a "done deal."
Wallace is expected to get something in the range of a 5-year, $60 million deal.
One of the league's best deep threats held out last season in order to get his big pay-day but couldn't come to terms with the Steelers on a reasonable price. The Steelers instead locked fellow receiver Antonio Brown to a 6-year, $43.04 million contract.
Wallace recorded just 64 catches for 836 yards in 2012 but scored 8 TDs, his average of 13.1 per catch was the worst of his 4-year career.
Wallace did top 1,000 yards receiving during both the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
