Disgruntled Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace has had a conversation with quarterback Ryan Tannehill since the season ended, and Tannehill said the conversation went “great.”

But Wallace’s status with Miami next season remains a question.

Amid all the recent roster shuffling — releasing wide receivers Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson, cornerback Cortland Finnegan and guard Nate Garner, and putting the transition tag on tight end Charles Clay — the Wallace issue remains No. 1 right now.

Asked whether he wants Wallace with the Dolphins in 2015, Tannehill said yes. But he wasn’t as certain when asked if he thought Wallace would be back.

“I don’t know,” Tannehill said. “It’s out of my hands. I’m just along for the ride like everyone else. I’m excited to see what turns out, but at this point we’re not sure yet.”

Wallace was benched for the second half of the season finale against the New York Jets because of a dispute with coaches about how he was being used.

His unique talent is his ability to use his speed for deep routes. But for both of his seasons with the Dolphins the deep route has been a change of pace rather than a part of the offense. He had a career-best 73 receptions in 2013 and tied a career best with 10 touchdowns last season.

Wallace has had dinner with general manager Dennis Hickey. There’s no word on whether he’s talked with coach Joe Philbin or any other member of the coaching staff, such as offensive coordinator Bill Lazor.

Wallace will count $12.1 million against the salary cap next season. He’s due a $3 million roster bonus on March 15.

The Dolphins reportedly asked him to restructure his contract, but Wallace refused.

Regarding the perception that Tannehill and Wallace don’t get along, Tannehill said he’s confident the two could co-exist next season.

“Yeah, of course,” Tannehill said. “We’ve done it the past (two) years and the more time we spend together the more the relationship grows. I’m excited to see what the future holds for us.”

If Wallace is with the Dolphins, they’re a step closer to bringing back as many as eight starters from a unit that ranked 11th in the NFL in scoring (24.3 points per game).

But if they lose Wallace, they lose a dynamic weapon that likely won’t be replaced in 2015.

“Mike’s a talented player,” Tannehill said. “I think we’ve all seen what he can do, the element he adds to our offense. If he comes back we’re going to make it work with him and let him be the playmaker that he is.”
