The Eagles are the fifth NFL team to employ Mike Wallace, in a career that began when he was drafted in the third round by the Steelers in 2009. Up to now, his decisions on destinations have been guided by money, Wallace said Friday.
With his 32nd birthday approaching, Aug. 1, Wallace said he used a different criterion this time, in choosing to take a reported $2.5 million from the Eagles on a one-year deal.
“I passed up other opportunities and more money. That wasn’t my focus,” Wallace said when he met with reporters at NovaCare.
