The Steelers today tendered offers to star wide receiver Mike Wallace and five others.
Cornerback Keenan Lewis, safety Ryan Mundy, tight end David Johnson, offensive guard Doug Legursky and offensive guard Ramon Foster were tendered offers, too.
By tendering the offers, the Steelers reserve the right to retain the players by matching any offer sheets they would sign with another team. All six could remain with the Steelers by signing their tender offer for 2012 or by signing a long-term deal with the team.
Wallace made 72 catches for 1,193 yards last season.

The “five others” were late round picks or free agents, meaning the Steelers would get very little if they sign elsewhere. Of the five, Foster and Legursky would seem most likely to be wooed by other teams, especially those challenged by the salary cap. They are good, dependable linemen in the prime of their careers, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we lose them both.
