The holdout of Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace, who'd like a brand-new contract, has extended past the team's first preseason game. The holdout is expected to continue throughout training camp and the rest of the preseason, but according to ESPN's Adam Schefter Tuesday, Wallace should return to the Steelers before the start of the regular season -- Sunday, Sept. 9, at the Denver Broncos.
Wallace, who hasn't signed his one-year, $2.7 million tender offer from the Steelers because he wants a long-term deal, has reportedly been working out in Florida as his team prepares for the season without him.
The Steelers have made it clear to Wallance, who caught 72 passes for 1,193 yards and made the Pro Bowl last season, that they will not conduct contract talks unless he reports to training camp and signs the tender.
