Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle

No one is denying what are seeing, we agree that it being reported by one source. Believe me I felt the same way as you guys when I "broke" the TO to dallas deal on this website, I called in to the local dallas paper that broke it and personally talked to the guy who broke the story. He was confident TO was with Dallas, but I think it is important that you get more than one source. I didnt have more than one, therefore people questioned and rightfully so.

I see where you are comming from, but I do not make stuff up for the sake of it. I do not think that a not so well known field reporter would risk everything on a bogus rumor. But hey, you can be led to water but, you dont have to drink.

I was listening to Triple X (via 100.3) on the way home from Olney (split the doubleheader...shoulda had both), and Bram Weinstein, before going on the team bus, said that the staff is flat out denying it. However, it sounds like Seattle is interested in a veteran backup, so you begin to wonder (thanks Jake) if they are worried about Hasselbeck after his surgery, and do not have faith in Kordell Ste...I mean Antwaan Ran....I mean Seneca Wallace.

Pure speculation says 5th or 6th round pick for Brunell...but from the sounds of it, Carson Jr crapped the bed tonight, so maybe the Skins were interested and backed off...or the Skins wanted to let Brunell know before he's being shipped elsewhere...

Well my only question is still why even play Brunell more than a couple series if we know he will be traded? Wouldnt we instead want Collins and Palmer in more to get reps.

I mean, do we want to boost his value by letting him play or something? It still doesn't make much sense. Now if they went straight to Palmer or Collins right after JC's drive then this story would fall much better in place. Not saying you are wrong angry, but I am just confused.

sounds more realistic to me. I can't see it happening unless we get real value, e.g. 3rd round at least. Even that seems unlikely, Gibbs needs a vet guy in the holster.

That sounds like a realistic possibility.

triple x reporting that channel 4 said Brunell played his last game as a skin and brunell is open to seattle and Bram Weinstein says Redskins are emphatically denying the trade

Comcast now confirms an "inquiry" earlier Thursday from Seattle. Brunell has been told nothing. Redskins, Wapo denying trade ...developing

Perhaps there is an an internal disagreement over what to do about Seattle's "inquiry". If this is Vinny's baby, Gibbs could still shoot it down.

No way would we get a 3rd for Brunell, A 5th at best...but
I think the point that the deal may have died due to palmer make a ton of sense.

Did anyone see brunell get interviewed after the game. The guy said "I want to wear this jersey still, I believe in what the Redskins are doing... and I want to be a part of this team" (paraphrased). I really feel bad for the guy.

I really love Brunell as a human being, but as a QB, I'm well finished with him. Godspeed Brunell.

exactly, i.e. we would have to get huge value for him to let him go at this point.

If they would offer a 3rd or 4th, or say, Daryl Tapp, would we do it? maybe, but even then I see it as unlikely.
