Miami Dolphins receiver Mike Wallace will have to deal with angry teammates who didn’t appreciate him bailing on them during their loss to the lowly Jets.
Many Dolphins are angry at Wallace because he went to Joe Philbin and asked out of the game according to Jeff Darlington of NFL Network. Several different players told Darlington they feel that Wallace’s actions were tantamount to abandoning the team.
Wallace wasn’t “benched,” according to several sources. It wasn’t initially “coach’s decision.” Wallace told Philbin he didn’t want to play.

After Clay scored with 2:49 left in 1st half, Mike Wallace came off the field and told Joe Philbin he no longer wanted to play in the game.

Next year Wallace is due a base salary of $9.85 million guaranteed. Wallace isn’t worried about anyone being mad at him.
