The Pats typically do three year deals with older players. I can see them paying him $7 million a year or so, but they may push a large chunk of the money into 2014 where the cap should explode along with salaries.
Now I think the Pats will try to get him for $5-6 milion a year, but I wouldn't be shocked if it was a three year, $21-24 million. I doubt it will be two years though.

Unreliable, not unstable. There's a slight difference.

The New Jersey State Funny Farm should do wonders for Randy's emotional stability.
Any team that gives up a 1st round pick AND pays 9 1/2 million per year (elite WR money) for Mike Wallace is a complete team of idiots; at least at this juncture in time anyway. Well, maybe not idiots, but they sure would be taking a gamble. In my opinion, the range of 9-10 million per yr should be set aside for the 'elite' and proven WR's of the game. Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, maybe Andre Johnson..Once you start to give guys like Santonio Holmes and Mike Wallace 10 million per yr you are really screwed cap-wise if that gamble doesn't pay off.
Believe me, I can see the argument for it...but Wallace still needs to prove himself a lot more to warrant that kind of money.
I think one of the potential problems in teams trying to get Wallace is the grey area in trying to determine exactly what he's worth.
Pros:
1. Young with a potentially high ceiling
2. Likely the fastest WR in the league
3. Can stretch the field, run great crossing routes, and make players miss
Cons:
1. Has been labled a "one trick pony" by many sources
2. Has not proven his ability to run all of the routes that would be necessary
3. Tends to disappear at times, like in the last 8 games of 2011
4. Questions regarding his utilization in any system without backyard football playing Roethlisberger on the run
5. Has not proven himself to be a "#1" WR in Pittsburgh, let alone any other team
That all said, I could imagine some team overpaying for him...sure. We've seen it before plenty of times.
I can also imagine a lot of coaches and GM's not being able to agree on his compensation at the moment.
I would think that 5 yrs/40 million would be closer to what he'd get right now.
Either way, Pittsburgh will have its hands full trying to keep their young core of WR's together. Wallace this yr, Brown and Sanders next yr...no way they can even think about affording all 3. They may not even be able to afford 2 of them.

102 mill for a QB
164 mill tied up for 3 LBs - Harrison, Woodley, Timmons
No surprise they are in Cap hell ans will have to gut the team and start all over.
Besides the WR's, their RB Mendenhall is also a FA next year. Steelers are in deep crap upto their eyeballs
