So, Holmgren gets his project back. He's never been great, but he hasn't been too bad throughout his career, either.

I wonder what they gave up. If they got him for a 6th or something like that, I think that this was a pretty fair trade.

The Browns have now signed Fujita and Pashos. Boh are pretty solid guys, but nothing too crazy. Both seem like solid signings for a franchise that's pretty much in a rebuilding state. I don't see how Wallace fits in that picture just yet, but we'll see. Maybe he'll come in and become the starter.

Browns didn't give up much for Wallace

by Gregg Rosenthal

Cleveland's potential starting quarterback didn't cost much.

The Browns only gave up a 2011 seventh-round pick to Seattle for Seneca Wallace, according to Mark Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. The pick can improved to a sixth-rounder based on playing time.

We know the Seahawks didn't have much use for Wallace, but this is a steal for the Browns. Wallace is regarded higher by Cleveland than their in-house options or any free agent quarterback.

Wallace is a big part of Mike Holmgren's 2010 plans, and he obtained him for the price of a slappy to be named later.

Looking at his career stats, I'm wondering how the hell did the Seahawks want that little. He's a better QB than Hasselbeck.

I have this funny feeling that round three of Carroll's NFL experience is going to leave alot of Seahawk fans sleepless in Seattle.

Here is a guy that only bailed on USC when the NCAA starting getting serious about the program....

I say Holmgren is going to bust a move with Detroit in the draft.

Cleveland is going into the 2 hole and taking either Bradford or Clausen.

That could be a possibility.

You have a very good wildcat offense already with Cribbs. Adding Wallace to that would only make it better. He was cheap enough to come in only as a wildcat QB.

Delhomme would give you time to groom your QB or you just have a very good veteran back-up and mentor.

If he used Wallace in the wildcat, Delhomme as a mentor and drafts Clausen or Bradford, he'll be looked at like a genius.

This whole thing is just bizarre.

Is Jake friggin' Delhomme really going to collect 19.7 million this year?

There has to be some sort of clerical error that I missed along the way.

If I understand it correctly.. the Panthers don't owe the sum this season.. it has futher dates out there.. but yes.. they are on the hook for a good portion of the 12 million... future bonuses... the Browns offset some of it... but not a hell of a lot.

This is where we are going to see teams shying away from this guaranteed money past a year... especially after Peppers flames out this season.

wpr (19h) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
