Holy Crap...
It happened. I had been hearing the 3rd round pick for Wallace all week. I love it.
How do the rest of us feel?
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
Thanks Seneca
Thanks for the pick (the Draft one that is). Now I have to root (route? růt?…hmmm) for teh Browns.
It's all part of his master plan for the Seahawks...
Holmgren infiltrates the enemy and ships us picks for our crap.
The Walrus is back.
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
Is it a 3rd?
I love the trade, especially if it brings back a three. Now, our only backup is Teel, correct? Looks like the Hawks will be drafting a QB.
Thanks, Holmgren!
Now I can breathe a great big freakin’ sigh of relief.
Eh, I don't think this shows any spectacular brilliance on the parts of our Queen and Prime Minister.
Seneca doesn’t have a future as a starting quarterback, he certainly isn’t the present, and Holmgren must have wanted him. If someone calls and offers to take a player off of your roster for you and is willing to give you gifts for the privilege, you’d be foolish to pass that up.
I think the value for Holmgren is obvious...
It gives him a serviceable QB that already knows his system this year. They may not compete at a high level, but they probably won’t end up with the first overall pick next year either.

Per Sando's blog
I’ll update when it becomes clear what Seattle might receive in return for Wallace. My understanding is that Seattle acquired a pick in the 2011 draft.
Not that I don't like the trade
It just makes me wonder why would the Browns trade for him.. they already have 2 quarterbacks I know they weren’t that great last year but they both do have potential at least more the seneca..
Holmgren said 'both'
of the qb’s would likely not be back. That meant Derek Anderson, so he’ll probably get the ax soon. This gets them a veteran QB the president knows.
Not really...
I like conditional future picks because of the gambling aspect of it.
The risk is that your trading an asset this year and getting nothing in return; however we already know the hawks aren’t likely to compete this year anyway. It gives us a pick a year further into our rebuild.
The reward is that a conditional pick could be a far better value that it would have otherwise been (should the team surrendering the pick stink up the field).
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
Good job, Carroll and Schneider.
I am glad that they were able to get something for him. It will be a little bit crazy if this turns out the same way that it did when Holmgren traded for Hasselbeck. I doubt it from watching him when he has replaced Matt.

But he's so...athletic!
All The Way, AIRBORNE!!!

I wonder if Holmgren asked about Matt and got turned down?
Seneca’s probably better for what he needs anyway. Younger, not expected to start, and knows the offense.
Looks like we have an open spot at QB on the depth chart.
Sign that we’re drafting one?
Or maybe a sign that the Seahawks pursue whichever quarterback that Cleveland cuts.
But I hope they draft one.

OH THANK GOD.
There’s no way in a million years is this a third rounder.
If it’s “conditional”, I wonder what the heck the conditions are. Seneca must make at least one huge catch in a postseason game? Seneca must gain more yards on the ground than he loses?
Well, shit.
Does anyone really think Seneca’s going to get starts over Quinn? I mean, I know the kid hasn’t exactly lit it up, but man, Seneca’s just not very good and has limited potential.
I just looked at the Browns SBN site and they seem to think so but...
I wouldn’t put anything past Holmgren’s cronyism but it seems like a huge stretch.
I read that thread too
Listening to people that don’t know anything about him is hilarious. No fault of their own I suppose.
I'll laugh when this blows up in your face.
Seneca may “suck” to you, but I thought he was serviceable. I know serviceable isn’t a big compliment but I do think he did a good job for Seattle. I wish him luck and believe he can help the Browns. Seneca has routinely been referenced as the best backup QB in the league. He’s earned his chance.
Apparently you haven't seen much Seneca Wallace.

We got a conditional draft pick for a replacement level QB that has no future with us.
If there’s going to be an explosion it’ll be roughly the equivalent of a wet Pop-It.

I am a Seattle fan and I have seen Seneca play alot!
I just am not willing to trash the guy and say he “sucks” because I do not think he does. If anything this makes me a “Homer” to you guys for rooting for a shitty player that’s local. I still believe he could have a good run in the NFL and that he hasn’t had the worst run so far.
Are you guys really going to consider this rooting for the other team?
Wishing a long time Seahawks player good fortune is far from being a traitor. Since when did we lose our dignity? I am sorry to offend, I just don’t understand my crime.

We're just giving you a hard time brother, I don't think anyone is trying to offend.
I like Seneca as a person fine, and I think this is a good deal for the Browns.
I also don't disagree this was a good deal for us.
It just doesn’t change the fact this guy has carried us when Hass has gone down, hes just been an all around good guy.

Sounds like an irreplaceable skill to me.

Yes!! That was so amazing! It was the Eagles game and for about 30 seconds everything was amazing.
And then the Eagles scored 26 straight points.
Got worse as the years went on, in fact.

Seneca always seemed like a very good guy, absolutely
But so does Craig Terrill. I do not want Craig Terrill anchoring my defense.
Seneca has never carried the team anywhere. All Seneca managed to do was give us slightly worse draft picks and keep the team from finding a backup with some real potential.
I want Craig Terrill fired from a cannon
into San Francisco Bay.

A couple people went over to talk to the Browns fans about Wallace
and they basically got “kthnxbai.” Great community over there.

What is this joke and where do you take them?

Hmm, all the jokes I know go to Pittsburgh.
You might check there.

Goodbye, SeneCat.
I’ll miss you as WR and gadget option. Even after you kept sacking yourself I got excited when I saw you come in and line up wide. Won’t miss you as a QB though!
