The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Wallace has one of offensive coordinator Todd Haley's playbooks. What the receiver doesn't have is a new long-term contract. Until the Pro Bowler gets one, don't expect to see Wallace running drills alongside his teammates.

Diehards Line:The Steelers began organized team activities on Tuesday and while attendance for the voluntary workouts was high. the focus remained very much on the speedy wideout who remains home in New Orleans. The restricted free agent has yet to sign his one-year tender of around $2.7 million in hopes of trying to secure a lengthier deal. Both sides remain positive one will get done. Neither appears to be in a hurry. "It'll be over, (just) a little bit of short-term misery," HC Mike Tomlin said. "It won't be significant in the big scheme of things hopefully." Again, Wallace's absence comes as no surprise. The real suspense won't come until the later this summer. Stay tuned.
