The Seahawks have traded quarterback Seneca Wallace to the Cleveland Browns for an undisclosed draft pick in 2011.

"This will give Seneca a chance for a fresh start," said General Manager John Schneider. "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."

Wallace was drafted by Seattle in the fourth round (110th overall) in the 2003 NFL Draft by current Browns president Mike Holmgren.   He played in 46 career games with 14 starts, throwing for 3,530 yards on 332 for 555 passing, with 25 touchdowns and 14 interceptions for an 83.2 passer rating. He also caught four passes for 76 yards and rushed 54 times for 214 yards.

Wallace's best season was 2008 when he started eight games and threw for 1,532 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Don't know about calling Seneca a loser 'skynardfan', thats a little harsh, but he didn't seem to fit in here. Good luck to him...What ever happened to that other guy (who's name I can never remember) they had/have who played QB last preseason?...from what I remember he was pretty sharp...looked good in there...

Man I can't wait and would love to watch all you Hasselbeck hatters eat your words he still got a lot left in his tank, that being said Seattle better get someone better then that loser Seneca to back him up because no matter who is quarterbacking without a decent line and a real 1st string running back and is it asking to much if he actually had someone to throw to, it doesn't matter who is quarterbacking.

Senaca is not and never will be a great NFL QB. I was tired of seeing him run out of bounce behind the line of scrimmage with the ball in his hand. Lots of batted down passes because of his size. Good bye and good luck. To the hatters of Hasselbeck, most of you don't know football.

All I saw was "Seahawks ship QB..." and I was praying to God they were going to say Hasselsuck was gone. That would be a dream come true for the Seahawks. No such luck though. Its too bad we got rid of Seneca. He wasn't a strong QB but he was the most athletic one on the team and made one hell of a running back...when they put him in.

Great athlete but not the answer at QB in Seattle. Its easy to bash Hasselbeck but Wallace and he still had no o-line to stand behind. Hopefully the Hawks will fix the o-line problem and bring in the future to play in a year or 2.

Seneca deserves a shot, and he'll get it in C-land. I'm thinkin Paul is feeling mortal, and will spend some sheckels to get a few primo players to go back to and win a super bowl.

wouldibsu - I wouldn't go around bragging about barely beating the Seahawks in 2009. It makes your team looking even worse :(

I love seeing pictures of those [green] uniforms. It reminds me of the game my Bears played that day, November 18th, beating Seattle.

It was nice Having Seneca but he deserves a shot as a starter which he just was not getting in Seattle. It would be great to see him tossing it around as a Brown but even better with Tatupu knocking him into the turf. At any rate, Good luck Seneca. Thank you for your commendable and solid service.

Either the Seahawks are clearing the deck to bring in a First Round QB to eventually replace Hasselbeck. or they have made another, of many, mistake.I would hope that they will go after McCoy and Sporels, but that would mean we are trying to bring a winning team here and that isn't the case. So expect the same, Hass will be out before the bye week and 1/2 the D will be on IR.
