Pittsburgh Steelers won't franchise WR Mike Wallace, source says - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7633206/pittsburgh-steelers-franchise-wr-mike-wallace-source-says)
They need to get rid of this RFA tender bullshit.
The highest qualifying offer for Wallace is about $2.75 million, nearly matching the amount that Pittsburgh is now under the salary cap. To franchise Wallace would cost Pittsburgh $9.5 million, which it currently does not have the salary-cap space to absorb.
This is so messed up, and not even sure how or why players even allowed this into the new CBA. Basically allows a team to cheat a player out of much deserved money. Why? Because nobody is going to sign him to a big contract AND give up a first rounder for him.

The real question is whether someone will sign him if they think Pittsburgh will match the offer.

Tyvon Branch...franchisedSmart move by the Raiders, though I have no idea in Hades where they are going to get $23, er, $29 million dollars of cap room.

I'm really disappointed in the CBS article's FA long snapper section. Sorely lacking in that department.

From that article:
9. Albert Haynesworth
http://cbssports.com/images/blogs/dl-ranking-haynesworth.jpg (US PRESSWIRE) Breakdown: Haynesworth makes the list on reputation alone. And we mean his pre-Redskins reputation, when Jim Washburn got the most out of the man now known as one of the biggest free-agent busts in recent years. Not even Bill Belichick could revive Haynesworth's career, cutting him midway through last season.
The Bucs signed him only to release him a few weeks ago. Maybe his career is over, but then again, coaches and GMs are seduced by potential. And Haynesworth certainly has plenty of that.
Possible landing spots: Realistically, Haynesworth's probably done. That said, we wouldn't be shocked if the Redskins signed him to another $100 million deal.
Really? Well the media ever give up on the BS, do they not see a new sheriff in town?
