Seneca Wallace indeed had more value to the Browns than to his own team, the Seahawks.

Wallace, shipped to the Browns in a trade Monday, will give Cleveland a quarterback with six years of experience in Mike Holmgren's offense. Holmgren is the Browns' president, not their head coach, but he has brought his offense to Cleveland, complete with former Seattle coordinator Gil Haskell.

The Seahawks are no longer running Holmgren's offense, diminishing Wallace's value to Seattle. Just as the Rams valued A.J. Feeley's familiarity with their offense, Holmgren wanted a quarterback Cleveland wouldn't have to coach up very much. Wallace can help the other quarterbacks learn the offense.

Speaking of the Browns' other quarterbacks: If Cleveland releases Derek Anderson, as expected, the Seahawks might be wise to pursue him. That would give them a veteran backup with experience to help them get through the upcoming season. Seattle could always revisit its options if the team drafted a quarterback early enough to affect one of the top two spots on its depth chart.

I'll update when it becomes clear what Seattle might receive in return for Wallace.
