Cleveland Browns: Seneca Wallace’s Trade Value Increasing By The Day

The Cleveland Browns will enter the 2011-12 season with at least three eligible quarterbacks on the active roster. However, the three signal callers that will be with the team could easily be in question as multiple issues surround the current roster and could ultimately result in a massive overhaul in the near future. Seneca Wallace is one of the three gunslingers that may actually hold a slight amount of trade value, and may even be more of a prized possession than some of the quarterbacks on the open market.

Wallace played very well for the Browns last season as he was called upon on several different occasions to lead the team. After high ankle sprains limited every quarterback on Cleveland’s roster, Wallace eventually lost the starting job to Colt McCoy and was considered a question mark to return for this upcoming season. Wallace signed a three-year deal with the Browns shortly before the lockout began, but experts around the league believe that he is still clinging on to the hopes of being Cleveland’s starting quarterback.

Wallace has been in the NFL for nine seasons and has had plenty of game experience under his belt. In 56 career games, Wallace has completed 60% of his passes and has thrown for 29 touchdowns.

The Browns may consider trading Wallace only if the team can restructure a deal with Jake Delhomme in the off season. Delhomme is currently set to make a large salary in 2011 and the organization is expected to either restructure a new contract or give Delhomme his outright release when the lockout is lifted.

Many teams around the league are still looking for quality talent at the quarterback position and could be willing to pay high trade prices if they begin to feel desperate. The Browns have already shown that they can be shrewd negotiators after they managed to acquire multiple draft picks for next years’ NFL Draft and players like Peyton Hillis before the 2010-11 season.
