Mike Wallace is having one of the best seasons of his career with the Baltimore Ravens this year, and some might wonder if that has left him regretting the three down seasons he had before that in Miami and Minnesota. But, as the star receiver said on Wednesday, it’s hard to regret an experience that pays you that much money.
With the Ravens set to host the Dolphins this weekend, Wallace was asked if he regrets the two years he spent in Miami.
Wallace on the Dolphins: "They gave me a lot of money in two years. I have no regrets. … I'm living a lot better because of those guys."

Fair enough.
Wallace signed a five-year, $60 million deal with the Dolphins in March 2013 that paid him $27 million guaranteed. That’s an awful lot of money for a receiver who didn’t eclipse the 1,000-yard mark in either of his two seasons with the team. While Wallace admits his time in Miami did not end the way he would have liked, he said he “most definitely” gave it his all and had a good relationship with his former coach — until the end, of course.
Wallace said his relationship with Philbin "was good … until the last game."

If you remember, Wallace was benched in his final game in Miami after a heated exchange with a coach in the first half.
Wallace had some great seasons with the Steelers at the start of his career, and he seems to have established the same type of chemistry with Joe Flacco that he had with Ben Roethlisberger. If the 30-year-old wasn’t making an impact in Baltimore, Flacco would probably be the target of a parting shot like the one Wallace took at Teddy Bridgewater last offseason.
