The Miami Dolphins have put wide receiver Mike Wallace on the trading block after they traded for Kenny Stills.

The Miami Dolphins needed a wide receiver, since they’ve been wanting to dump Mike Wallace due to his expensive contract, and they acquired one Friday when they got Kenny Stills from the New Orleans Saints. Now, Mike Wallace is on the trading block for Miami.

The 28-year-old Wallace is due $9.85 million in 2015 as part of a five-year, $60 million deal that runs through 2017 and after his mediocre 2014 season where he caught for just 862 yards and added 10 touchdowns.

The Dolphins have restructured their receiving core this offseason after dumping Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson, but signing tight end Jordan Cameron and trading for Kenny Stills.

Wallace has spent the last two season with Miami after spending four years with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The speedy receiver will look to find a new home and a team wanting to trade for Wallace most likely won’t have to give up much considering Miami may just releasse him because of his cap hit.

Teams needing a wide receiver right now include the Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and (dare I say it) the Philadelphia Eagles.

We’ll see if any teams want to make a move for Mike Wallace in the coming days or if Miami will just have to dump him.
