The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ...Wallace might not be happy about his current contract situation,
but there's not much he can do about it. And the Steelers know it. "We're not worried about the reports," GM Kevin Colbert said Monday at a pre-draft news conference. "He's still here. We will deal with it day to day."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal reiterated, there is no reason for the Steelers to be worried. They say Wallace's situation won't affect their draft plans. ESPN reported the wide receiver won't attend voluntary work anytime soon, choosing to wait before signing his one-year tender as a restricted free agent. Eventually, Wallace will have to show up. "We felt all along the decision would be ours," Colbert said about Wallace's lack of movement on the restricted market. "We want Mike to be here for the long haul. He knows that. ..." Meanwhile, Wallace has until June 15 to think things over. And even if he misses some OTA and mini-camp work, nobody should get excited until and unless he starts missing training camp.
