Seneca Wallace traded to Cleveland
The Cleveland Browns couldn't decide on a starting quarterback in 2009. They went back and forth and back again. For 2010, maybe that decision was made for them on Monday, and it isn't Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson. The Browns acquired seven-year pro and long-time backup quarterback Seneca Wallace from the Seattle Seahawks on Monday for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick. Wallace will reunite with Mike Holmgren, who serves as the Browns' general manager. He was Wallace's head coach in Seattle from 2003-2008. Wallace's best season was 2008 when he started eight games and threw for 1,532 yards and 11 touchdowns, both career-highs. Wallace started two games last season while Matt Hasselbeck was hurt and has started just 14 games in his career. "This will give Seneca a chance for a fresh start," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said in a statement. "The Browns front office's familiarity with his abilities will give him an opportunity to compete for playing time. We wish him nothing but the best."
Fantasy Analysis:
This move all but makes certain that Derek Anderson won't be on the Browns by March 19 when he is due a $2 million roster bonus. Wallace's athleticism makes him a somewhat interesting starter, but he has never been very accurate in the NFL and has a problem hanging onto the ball. Still, he could probably produce better numbers than Brady Quinn. I think Wallace is actually a slight favorite right now to start the season for Cleveland.
