Mike Wallace has yet to sign his franchise tender with the Steelers as he seeks a long-term contract. Former Pittsburgh running back Jerome Bettis told the NFL Network that the wide receiver doesn't understand how the organization operates, and the best way to get a long-term deal would be to report to the team. "I think when you go through the history of the Steelers, they do things a bit differently," Bettis said. "And when you look at in relationship to their stars, they still stay one way. They're firm in their resolve and the way they do things. All you have to do is go back to Hines Ward. "His situation, he had a holdout before his last contract. He wanted X-amount of dollars, and they were one way. At the end of the day, they told Hines he needed to come into camp before they would consummate a deal. And Hines had to come in, and he came in, and once he came in, they were able to work the deal out. "But the problem is, you know, Mike (Wallace) doesn't really understand the concept of how the Steelers work, and so he's got to kind of figure that out. Once he figures that out and comes in, I think they'll work a deal out."
