BUFFALOTONE Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2561309 As per the clowns at ESPN. Seems they are at a major in pass and it does not look like things are going to perk up. This is great for my fantasy pick of Chad Jackson. Also lets hope they work something out to get him in another division or maybe make him a Bill. Wishful thinking.
Stl Bills Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Although I'd prefer a bigger wideout over another undersized speedster, Branch would make a nice #2 wideout. I'm not sure we have a real #2 on this team, rather a bunch of number 3s (I'm not sold on Price). Don't see it happening though.

Plus he may get a chip on his shoulder for being shunned by the Patsies. I would be willing to trade a second round pick for a proven WR and a super bowl MVP to boot. This guy would add a great dimension to our passing game.

He won't be a Bill. No way Bellichick trades him within the division. He's not Drew, he's a bonifide threat.

The problem is that he would want #1 money!!!
BUFFALOTONE Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 Branch would make a great #2 receiver. The problem is that he would want #1 money!!! 751694[/snapback] Release PP and some other clowns take a small hit and sign the guy to something to the tune of 5 yrs 23 mil and 13 mil guaranteed. If not he would definetly be a candidate for the Eagles who desparatly need a receiver.
scribo Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 The bottom-line for us is that this leaves the Patsies without a true #1 WR. Jan Brady said Branch was the most important part of the NE offense. I hope they get little for him, but there is probably some team out there willing to give a up a first- or at least second-rounder for him.

Johnny Coli Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 The conventional wisdom (read: kool-aide spin) out of Loserville, USA is that The Genius is just messing with Branch's head. He can't just go mosey on to another team. He's got one week to get a contract negotiation and a trade offer done, and The Paytoilets have to approve any deal. A lot of rosters are set, and the feeling is that Branch isn't going to like what's on the other side of the fence...that he'll come crawling back to Tampon Stadium on his own.
stuckincincy Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 We could have given the 2.5M + 2.5M signing bonus that we gave to Reedand Price to Branch.... 751712[/snapback] Bills should really pay attention to B'gals cuts. They have stocked the larder to service Palmer.
Rico Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 No way Bellichick trades him within the division. He's not Drew, he's a bonifide threat. 751693[/snapback] Good one! Friggin' TD, what a bonehead trade.
drnykterstein Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 or maybe make him a Bill. Wishful thinking. 751684[/snapback] why? Are we in need of bad wide recievers or something?
CosmicBills Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Good one! Friggin' TD, what a bonehead trade. 751733[/snapback] It's funny 'cause it's true

That it was just Billadick being himself.
BUFFALOTONE Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 why? Are we in need of bad wide recievers or something? 751738[/snapback] Are you serious? This guy has put up consistantly good numbers and was the MVP of the SBa few years back. If you honsestly wouldnt take this guy on your team than you dont know the first thing about football guy. Get a clue.

I think he's a good reciever, I don't know about the money angle, if it was me I would pay it...Belichick is shrewd on player contracts..I believe seymour and brady are the only locks after that it gets dicey, then again watson the tightend is a big and fast reciever and dillion and maroney in the backfield with faulk is a good recieving running back , The offense appears solid even without branch...It's the defensive secondary and linebackers that is shaky, paytoilets
dogbyte Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Branch wants 12 million signing bonus plus about 35 mill. He has already turned down 6 mil a year from the Pats.
BRH Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 But I thought the Pats players were all about the team.
IDBillzFan Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Jan Brady said Branch was the most important part of the NE offense.751706[/snapback] I thought Sirius was his favorite receiver.
