If Wallace, Perriman and Moore can all achieve to their potential then the Ravens dont really need another WR. Using Waller as a Slot TE/gunner similar to the way the Patriots used Gronk could prove to be very productive. Waller is big and talented, he needs to be put into the play book more to see what he can do from the TE position, that or just list him as a WR and use him in the slot.

I would rather have a big downhill running back than another WR.

Good decision. Wallace is a keeper. Joe was hurt last year, this year he's openly said he can work with his WR's in the off season. Something he couldn't do last year. You WILL see an improvement. Not sure up the O-line and this is a SB ready team.

Keeping Wallace is fantastic. I think Perriman is going to really breakout this season.

Good that we are keeping him, but should extend him to lower the cap hit. $8M is too much. So many other needs.

I don't think Joe has ever worked with his receivers in the offseason. Biscuit lit a fire under his behind.

I'm very happy we have Wallace over Torry Smith

Desean Jackson just got about 12 a year for 3 years. And Wallace is more durable and has a better attitude. I agree, it would be nice to extend and lower the cap number. But he's maybe overpaid by 2 mil a year imo, maybe. Also this way we're not comited after next year, and might get a comp pick too. Not sure bout that though.
Still a bit of money to free up with cuts

i agree that they should extend him for cap relief. glad torrey was not resigned

Lets just hope the 2015 Mike Wallace does not return.
