If not for the first round tender the Steelers put on him, he would have a new team by now. It was thought the Patriots might still go after him as they have 2 first round picks. However, the Pats clearly thought Brandon Lloyd + a 1st round pick were a better value than just Mike Wallace. Of course, it doesn't hurt that with Lloyd the Pats know more about what they're getting since his best years were with Josh McDaniels in Denver and then St. Louis. Of course, Josh is back in his old office now as the Pats' o-coordinator.
