View reaction from Twitter after the Vikings landed Mike Wallace on Friday night.
"Teddy fades to fire. Zips it over the middle. Caught by MIKE WALLACE. Shakes a tackle at the 40. AND HE'S LOOOOOSE! Twenty. Ten. TOUCHDOWN!

Mike Zimmer, pulling in for dinner with Michael Johnson, said WR was one of the #Vikings' big priorities. Wallace stuck out to him and Norv.

Zimmer didn't have much to say about Michael Johnson. "We're still going. We'll see," he said.

Offered on this wild evening: The #Vikings and #Packers each have two WRs with contracts that average $9M-plus. Some not like the others.

Now this makes the 11th pick very interesting. Nice trade for Wallace. It's truly a "best available" situation now. #Vikings

Clear, though, that #Vikings wanted a speed guy. Zimmer remembered prepping for Wallace twice a year. Initial burst stuck out to him, too.

Mike Wallace said his best time in the 40-yard dash has been 4.21 seconds.

Mike Wallace took home an estimated $27.1M for two seasons in Miami (via @spotrac) and he was dealt for peanuts. Free agency overrated.

Brandon Fusco on Mike Wallace “Mike was always a fan favorite in Pittsburgh I’m sure he’s going to be a fan favorite in Minnesota I’m pumped

By the way, the seventh-rounder Miami traded to the #Vikings in Mike Wallace swap was via the #49ers in last year's Jonathan Martin deal.

As @BradBiggs just pointed out, #Vikings/Miami trade parameters for Mike Wallace were exactly the same of Brandon Marshall to the Jets

Mike Wallace today, hopefully Michael Johnson tomorrow. I'd be good with all that. #Vikings #Faith

#Vikings were one of only two teams in 2014 to not have a receiver average 50 yards per game. Needed an upgrade somehow.
— Andrew Krammer (@Andrew_Krammer) March 13, 2015
Vikings wanted Wallace two years ago. Offense lacks a true deep threat.
