Wrinkle to Wallace’s Contract: Minimal Cap Impact For 2013, Per PFT
On Tuesday afternoon, the 2013 NFL calendar popped off.

Some of the signings went down easily, more than a few sparked Twitter debates between experts, and others left fans shaking their heads.
I’ll delve into Wes Welker’s move to Denver in a separate post and circle back to ponder the arrival of Danny Amendola in New England.

The cap numbers and guaranteed cash for future years may be daunting for the speedy wideout, but sources close to the situation advised Pro Football Talk that Wallace’s cap impact in 2013 will be minimal.
