Mike Wallace and NFL Stars That Must Be Made Happy Before Training Camp

Ray Rice and Matt Forte will literally be happy "campers" when they hit training camp in less than two weeks, but a few NFL stars aren't exactly pleased with their current contracts. 

Maurice Jones-Drew, the heartbeat of the Jacksonville Jaguars, may hold out. The same goes for Darrelle Revis and the electric Mike Wallace. 

No, Mr. Revis doesn't care that he held out two years ago. 

Let's dive into the situations of the league's biggest names who must be made happy before training camp begins. 

Maurice Jones-Drew

Jones-Drew led the NFL with 1,606 rushing yards in 2011, and he accounted for a ridiculous 55.8 percent of the Jacksonville Jaguars' total offense last season. 

The team added Chad Henne to push incumbent starter Blaine Gabbert and grabbed Laurent Robinson in free agency. The Jaguars also drafted wideout Justin Blackmon in an overt attempt to add more offensive firepower. 

However, Jones-Drew remains the sole established offensive weapon on the roster, and the team undoubtedly cannot afford a holdout from its best player. 

Confirmed by Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union, Jones-Drew skipped the team's mandatory minicamp to display his displeasure with his current contract situation. Tthe star runner has two years left on his contract and is set to make $4.45 million in base salary this season. 

With Matt Forte recently receiving a four-year, $32 million deal and Ray Rice inking a five-year, $40 million contract, Jones-Drew would likely want a similar multi-year extension.

The Jaguars should be in desperation mode. MJD means everything to them. Without him, their offense could come to a screeching halt.   

Darrelle Revis 

Revis and the Jets negotiated through an arduous contract dispute just two years ago, but the game's most dominating cornerback could hold out again. 

In a report published by the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch, Revis was quoted as saying, "I can’t [guarantee reporting on time]. I don’t know. I don’t know if I am or if I’m not.”

The Jets' defensive backfield is lost without him, as Revis normally shuts down opponent's No. 1 wideout. He allows his secondary members to be more aggressive and gives Rex Ryan more play-calling creativity. 

As pointed out by Bleacher Report's NFL Featured Columnist Zach Kruse, Revis "will enter the 2012 season as the NFL's 16th-highest paid CB in terms of base salary."

Though another holdout my drive the Jets' front office and fans crazy, it's hard to blame Revis for demanding more money. 

Either way, Gang Green must again get to the negotiating table with their best player. 

Mike Wallace

Wallace is one of the most dangerous deep threats in the today's NFL. He averaged a ridiculous 21 yards per catch in 2010 and averaged 16.6 yards per grab last season. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers have slowly but surely transitioned to a more vertical passing attack, and Wallace is the go-to guy downfield for Ben Roethlisberger. 

Per ESPN.com's John Clayton, the team is still optimistic it will get a long-term deal done for the fourth-year wideout. 

Clayton said:

"

That's their history, they've always been good about taking care of their top players. So even though nothing is close at the moment, there is still time before the start of camp and people in the Steelers organization are confident they can get something done, that there will be no holdout, and Wallace will be signed to a long-term deal.

"

A holdout wouldn't totally disrupt Wallace's 2012 season, but with new offensive coordinator Todd Haley implementing his offense, the former Ole Miss star needs to be on the practice field as much as possible.
