Mike Wallace Turned down $76 million from Vikings

We all know Mike Wallace as one of the NFL's highest paid free agents of the off-season. And after reading USA Today, this blogger found out that Mike Wallace III claimed his son turned down $76 million in total money from the Minnesota Vikings during the 2013 free-agency period. The Vikings, who signed Greg Jennings and additionally drafted Cordarrelle Patterson in April's draft, was considered one of the main options for Wallace's services prior to his commitment to Miami.

However, Wallace decided on the Dolphins—who went 7-9 and missed the playoffs in the AFC—over the Vikings—who went 10-6 and lost in the NFC Wild Card Round to the Green Bay Packers.

Confused? So are we, but Wallace said that it's not about the money and he just wants to be happy. Good luck with the Dolphins, Wallace!
