Updating ongoing reports, Pete Prisco, of SportsLine.com, reports Jacksonville Jaguars QB Mark Brunell is only a few minor details away from agreeing to a contract extension with the Washington Redskins that would clear the way for a trade to be completed between the two teams. "We've had some good discussions in the past few days and it's looking like it could get done," Brunell said. "When and if it gets done, I look forward to playing for the Redskins and owner Dan Snyder and coach Joe Gibbs." The contract is believed to be a seven-year deal – not the three-year agreement that had been speculated earlier. In exchange for Brunell, the Jaguars would reportedly receive a third-round pick in this year's draft. The trade cannot be made official until March 3.
