The Facts: The Ravens have picked up the contract option for Wallace to return to the team in 2017.

Diehards Line: As previously noted, Wallace has been considered a potential salary-cap cut because his $8 million cap figure ranks fifth on the Ravens. But HC John Harbaugh made it clear where he stands on this decision last week. "I want Mike Wallace on our football team," Harbaugh said at the NFL Scouting Combine. And now Harbaugh has gotten his way. ... In his first season with the Ravens, Wallace led the team with 1,017 yards receiving, his first 1,000-yard season since 2011. He also caught 72 passes and four touchdowns. One reason why Baltimore is looking to bring back Wallace is its depth at wide receiver. Steve Smith Sr. retired at the end of the season, and Kamar Aiken is a free agent. The only Ravens wide receivers under contract who caught more than 10 passes are Wallace and Breshad Perriman.
