Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle

[Rajmahal33]

i have no problem with letting go of Brunell for a 4th or 5th rounder (the pick we will lose based on Kendalls performance). Lets be honest, if Campbell goes down and brunell has to start, this season is a wash anyway. Why not get rid of brunell now and build for the future...not to mention our usual tactic with draft picks is to blow thru them for mediocre trades. If we accrue a few more picks here and there we may be able to put them to good use later or at least not hurt ourselves when we burn thru them in pursuit of a ridiculously overrated FA.

If its any less than a 5th (or maybe a 6th) i think its not worth it b/c we aren't getting enough back and we are unnecessarily helping another NFC team. Imagine if by some ironic twist of fate we had to play Brunell in the playoffs. I could completely envision us getting burnt by him b/c of the bad karma.

I'll take that scenario anyday.

Seriously, Brunell is gone after this year anyway, and he's not enough better than Collins at this point to make dealing him a serious downgrade. Take the draft pick (btw, it's not going to be a third rounder you crackheads) and move on.
