Interesting, Brunell could finish where he started in the NFL. Kinda neat actually.

The search is on.
There's a "Help Wanted" sign posted outside of 1265 Lombardi Ave. in Green Bay, and former Packer Mark Brunell might come back to town to help fill it.
The Packers have already made contact with Brunell's agent to see if he's interested in coming back to be the the primary backup quarterback.
"The Packers this week talked to Brunell's agent, Bruce Tollner," reports Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, "and expressed at least some interest in a player the Packers brought into the NFL in the fifth round of the 1993 draft. Brunell has 150 starts in his career with Jacksonville and Washington, including nine starts as recently as 2006. But his skills have diminished to where he's strictly a backup after spending last season as the Redskins' No. 3 quarterback. They voided his contract in February to get under the 2008 salary."
Brunell's agent has said that the aging QB is not looking for a place to become a starter, and that he would play a mentor role with a new team. And that's what the Packers need right now.
"First, you have to be able to play the game," General Manager Ted Thompson told the Green Bay Press-Gazette. "But if you have some experience, that's good. If you have some ability to be a mentor, that's probably good. I don't know if any of them are absolute requirements. The main thing is you find a good player."
