NFL Huddle

Filed under: Browns, Seahawks, AFC North, NFC West

The Cleveland Browns have traded for a quarterback, but it doesn't quite look like he's the long-term answer. The Browns have dealt what will likely end up a late-round draft pick to the Seattle Seahawks for Seneca Wallace, according to a tweet from ESPN's Adam Shefter.

Wallace is a career backup who has appeared in 47 games for the Seahawks since being selected in the fourth round of the 2003 NFL Draft. It's worth nothing that Mike Holmgren was part of the brain trust who drafted Wallace and is now the team president of the Browns, so he may really see something in the agile 29-year-old.

Wallace has a career quarterback rating of 83.1 and has, at times, filled in quite admirably in the absence of Seattle's long-time starter Matt Hasselbeck. Still, the Seahawks won just five of his 15 career starts and lost all three of the sort in 2009. He does seem to present a nice wildcat duo with Josh Cribbs in the backfield, should the Browns decide to use that tandem as a change of pace.
