Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

wait were not getting a first round pick for brunell?

in all seriousness any draft pick would be a plus, brunell had one decent game against the jags scrubs but other than that he looked helpless

just a rumor

Check out JLac's latest chat on the Post website for his take on all this--pretty skeptical.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

From the article just posted:

"This thing got way blown out of proportion on TV. No trade is imminent and the Skins have to determine if they would even be wanting to move him at all given how the fact they have no other decent options for a third Qb themselves."

So yeah... Looks like channel 9 jumped the gun on that one.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

This whole idea is idiotic.


If anyone would be/should be on the trading block it would be Collins...he's the QB who sat out the last game (usually what happens to a player before a trade).


Cambell #1
Brunell #2
Collins #3

Deal with it, people. :D

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Nice way to get some extra picks, but damn Brunell didn't look bad last night and Palmer only got a half of playing time in the whole preseason which is why I said it was a waste to even draft him. I like the move, but it is a dumb setup. Why didn't they give Palmer more time like a lot of us wanted? I mean sure, if we have to rely on Palmer our season probably is toast, but give the team a fighting chance. Doesn't make sense to me why they give him so little playing time if they knew they were going to unload MB.

Hey Gus, it's not true. :)

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Looks like Brunell might go back to where it all started. I'm sure that would be his first choice. I say we do an even swap. I would love to have Leftwich as a back up and I know he grew up a huge Redskins fan so I’m sure he would like it too if he could stand being a 2nd string QB. I'm sure Leftwich's contract would screw the whole thing up though.


The Jaguars are also trying to acquire a veteran quarterback to serve as a backup and may turn to former Jaguars quarterback Mark Brunell.

Team and league sources said that former starter Byron Leftwich will likely be traded or released

I just read that. What are Leftwiches numbers like (salary wise). What about a switch?

I still can't believe that. This Leftwich rumor started heating up a couple of weeks ago and it still astounds me that they might just flat out release him. He could start for a lot, A LOT, of teams

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

I know I would love to have Leftwitch as an insurance policy.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

I believe one of the reasons he may be released is the Jags want to avoid paying his $5.1 million base salary

That's what I'm thinking too. Maybe we could split it with them???

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

I think Leftwich is great (too many injuries though) and it would be hilariously ironic if we traded Brunell back to where he came from for the guy he was pushed out for in the first place.

However, I don't want him here. I don't want anyone who is a threat to Campbell. We ride or die with JC.

The enthusiasm there is nice. The problem, I think, is if something bad happens to JC do we want to ride or die with TC?
