The Miami Dolphins have recently decided to put wide receiver Mike Wallace on the trading block following the acquisition of Kenny Stills. At 28 years old, Wallace still has plenty to offer teams willing to pony up picks to trade for him. Here are five teams that would be served well by adding the downfield target.

Think Wallace misses his time catching beautiful passes from Ben Roethlisberger? You bet. Wallace set career highs for touchdown receptions and yards during his four-year stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Don't be surprised if the Steelers give the Dolphins a call.

Now that Andre Johnson is gone, the Houston Texans must rely on adding at least one veteran wideout. Wallace fits the bill without too high of a price. Although Wallace may wish to play with a better quarterback, don’t rule out the Texans as a contender.

3. Cleveland Browns

With Josh Gordon unable to handle his vices, the Cleveland Browns are desperate to fill that statistical void. Wallace could make a serious impact with the Browns, as long as Cleveland’s starting quarterback can find him downfield.

2. Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs cut Dwayne Bowe and signed Jeremy Maclin, but don’t look for them to stop there. If Kansas City trades for Wallace as well, they could undergo the greatest transformation ever at the wide receiver position.
