Rumor: Brunell heading to Seattle

Triple X radio is mentioning this same trade rumor

[BDBohnzie]

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...

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.

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.

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.

That sounds like a realistic possibility.

Does anyone have a link to the seahawks board or know what they are saying?

They do not have anything about it yet.

[mooby]

Yeah but after they played that interview Brett Haber said he talked with Brunell privately and Brunell was enthusiastic about playing in Seattle because of his U. of Washington ties. Haber said that Brunell was basically "politically talking" by answering the question but not really answering the question.

[mooby]

Yeah he's taken more than his share of the blame from the time he's been here in Washington, but the only way it will stop is when he gets traded. I wish he got treated with more respect for everything he's done for us.

I hope it's at least a 3rd rounder, otherwise it was a dumb move.

A 3rd?? LOL keep dreaming.

I don't see it being any better than a 6th.

Yeah, I think we'd be lucky to get a 5th and I'd actually do a jig in Danny Boy's honor if we managed to get a 4th.
It would be a simple jig, but it would be heartfelt nonetheless.

Looking through that Seahawks site that Hooskins linked to, I'm surprised how excited they seem to be about this. Seneca Wallace must really blow.

Didn't they just give Wallace an extension? I thought they had really high hopes for him. I know he started a few games for them when Hasselback went down and played pretty good.
