Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

I can't put a link here because I'm still watching Channel 9, but they just reported that Brunell will be headed to Seattle for an undisclosed draft pick to be the backup for Hasslebeck. Once I find a link I will put it up. They said Seneca Wallace will be moving to tight end. I think this is true because the Channel 9 guy said he talked with Brunell about it off camera and Brunell knows already. They also said Collins had already taken the #2 spot from him.

Because it is true and happening as we type.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Oh yeah!!! getting at least something for Brunell is going to be great for the Skins.

I'd much rather have Collins as number 2 than Brunell

This also sets up Palmer to stay on the active roster as the number 3. Things are looking up in the QB dept.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Yeah it's coming from a source inside the Redskins. They said the deal isn't finalized yet but it will be soon. The fact that Brunell knows about it and approved of it should tell you this is more than a rumor.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

God help us if we have to rely on Palmer

Most teams would be F'd if they get down to their #3 QB

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Wow. But if Brunnell was #3, we were paying too much. Plus get something for him now--I'm pretty surprised we're getting anything. Wonder what the cap stuff looks like?

Sorry, my bad, just that there always seems to be a thread about Brunell going here or getting traded to go there. I think you know what I mean. Also, I should have known better you are not one to make stuff up just for the sake of conversation...

Sorry...

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

I'll believe it when I hear it from Joe Gibbs himself. But not a moment before then.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Who knows... with our track record...we'll end up drafting a stud and potentially starter a couple of years down the road.

Godspeed Brunell. You had a great career with us. Let's see what we can do in 07 Campbell.

I've seen my share of hopefull Brunell trade threads too, and I wouldn't have started this thread if I wasn't certain that this trade is absolutely about to happen.

If Hasslebeck goes down I hope Brunell does good in Seattle. He was never popular here except during 2005, and he always tried his best here.

I take it that you are not watching the news.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Not so sure I like the sound of this, I would still feel much better starting MB over Collins if JC were to go down.

But hey, at least this will eliminate the ridiculous thinking that Gibbs couldn't wait to get his church buddy back on the field at any cost!

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

How is Seneca Wallace moving to TE at 5'11, 205??

Maybe WR?

I was questioning that part myself. But that is what they are reporting. I think that they mean WR, however they have said it more than twice.


Edit: I wonder if they were in the trade talks when they locked up Seneca for another 5 years, and if that was Seattle's plan all along.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

He might have bulked up over the offseason. Still, he's played wide receiver in the past so I wouldn't be suprised if they just moved him to WR instead of TE. They keep saying he will be moved to TE though.

I doubt it will go away so easily. That's a devoted little fellowship of (non)believers there.

And I agree about Collins. If I were a defensive coordinator I would be drooling like one of Pavlov's dogs at the prospect of facing Collins. And Palmer, he's a clipboard man all the way.

Well, I'm watching the Redskins Post game show on Comcast and they haven't mentioned a thing about it.

ESPN has nothing on it either. Usually Clayton or Mortensen are all over this type of thing the moment it happens.

Did Gibbs say something tonight on the news?

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think it's a risky move. I haven't seen Palmer play, but if he's as bad as you guys say, we may have to put ARE in as our #3... doh!

I hear Quincy Carter is looking for a NFL job. What better way to get back at Dallas than as the Redskins number 3? LOL!

Edit. In all seriousness Chris Simms is on the bubble in Tampa Bay.

Hey, ARE at QB?
That might not be a totally bad thing. I mean he didn't start playing WR till he was drafted anyway.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Gibbs is denying it, but do we really expect anything else from him?

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Thank you Jebus!

This would be the best move in the last 3 years.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

nice joke, or maybe not such a nice joke. I'll leave that to the WP mods et al.

The 2nd post on this thread included a quote, but that quote wasn't from the 1st post. Hmmm....

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Collins has concrete shoes and a lame arm...he can dink and dunk though.
Palmer is horrible...just plain bad.

If this is true, we'd better get a player rather than a pick...I WR, DE would be nice...anyone would do.
I sure hope we at least get a 5th but I doubt it.
The only reason to do this would be salary cap relief.

Why wait so long?
no reps for Palmer.
This doesn't make sense based on who was playing.
If they were gunna do this, they should have played collins and palmer and benched Brunell.

I just refuse to believe this.

I would take a 32 ounce soda at the draft for Brunell. What makes you think that anyone would give us a 5th rounder?

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

This is the first I've heard of this. I'll have to do some digging. I'll give my former Channel 9 colleagues a call tomorrow.

But why would you move Seneca to TE?

Also, was it Levan Reid? Levan's my boy and all but he's the PFT of local sports. He just hurls any rumor out there and hopes it sticks

It was a WUSA channel 9 exclusive. A "Inside Source" disclosed the information to the "On the Field Reporters" one of which was none other than Brian Mitchell. When stuff like this leaks out it is usually true. Brunell was questioned about it during the game and answered the question without answering the question.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

This has to be a joke.
Seneca Wallace at TE = ARE at fullback

Not to mention the timing. Show me the money, i.e. per warpath etiquette give me a link!

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

We need some proof here.
Like a link or something.
This just doesn't jive...expecially after the the QB performances tonight.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Everyone at Channel 9 was reporting it, I think it was Brett Heber and B-Mitch that first reported it though. If you put it on Channel 9 right now they are talking about it.

What part of it was on live television after the game did you not understand? There is no link. They are still talking about it now. The deal is not done yet, however they are still talking about it as we speak.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

They just talked about it and they said it is not a done deal yet but it is a source that is very close to Brunell, Brunell is aware of it and approves of it.

yeah that was a big WTF for me...

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Comcast says the Redskins denied it to them. But it had a kind of "for now" quality. (Chick Hernandez)

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

what pick would this be.

Re: Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle
 

Maybe the thinking is to move Brunell while we can still get something for him. We didn't want to trade any future draft picks for 08-09 but were forced to b/c of the guard situation presenting a need for a guy like Kendall. By trading MB we could recoup that pick. Also, it doesn't necessarily mean we are set on Palmer as a 3rd. He could be relegated to the practice squad, still learn the offense, and we could pick up a vet off the waiver wire after this weekends cuts. Just a thought. And they HAVE to mean Wallace is moving to WR. TE isn't possible at his size.

If it isn't on the internet, it can't be true!
