It would 55 mill PLUS a 1st round pick for Wallace.

Smh.

Obtaining M. Wallace would have cost premium draft picks. There is absolutely no way Wallace was a target this offseason.

So to answer your question. Yes all 55.55 million still go to VJax because Wallace on the team was never ever ever ever ever ever ever going to happen.

This just for fun. I'm saying who would you give the $55 million to if you had a choice.

Can we just go back in time and pick Wallace instead of Roy Miller?

I think the OP is presenting a "what if" scenario in which they were both available without having to give up compensation to sign them(i.e. Free Agents)...then who would you rather have...

Well of course in that scenario it would be Wallace because of the many more years of production he could provide.

Actually the problem isnt that Freeman stinks. He is average. He puts up good numbers just often enough to make you think he is better than he is. Bad and great are convincing. But mediocre makes you live with the delusion for too many years. He is just good enough to waste our time and not good enough to get us where we want to go.

What's the point of envisioning that scenario?

Before free agency started, I said the ideal player for the Bucs was Mike Wallace, so it'd be kind of transparent if I switched now to Vincent Jackson. That said, I loved the Jackson signing and hearing his ex-coach talk about his tremendous practice habits and work ethic makes me really, really glad he's a Buccaneer.

I would still pick V.Jackson. Only reason, that we have young Wr's, that need to be around a proven vet at Wr. To teach n show them how it is done.. V.Jackson is a play maker,a go to guy for a QB, "I'm not saying Wallace isn't that," "But one thing that help Wallace, he had a vet like H.Ward helping him."Benn,Mike,Dez,Parker and all the other young WR. did not have a proven vet ,that could help them become better.

If you watch that video on Benn,that's on the Bucs site. He was talking about, how he is learning so much from V.Jackson and seeing how much work V.Jackson puts in..

V.Jackson will get these young Wr's like Benn,Mike and the others, becoming play makers, bring out the best in them..

I love Wallace, he is proven and he is younger,but he isn't what our young Wr's needed.. They needed someone older,that is proven and that is still great..

I like Wallace better, but only by a small margin. The top tier of receivers includes guys like Megatron, Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson (when healthy). Wallace and VJax are in that next tier, somewhere between say around 5 or 6 and 20th best in the league.
