Deion Branch: Jets & NFC Team Reach Agreement

wh1t3bread · #1 09-01-2006, 11:31 AM

According to Newsday the Jets and an undisclosed NFC team (I think it's probably the Vikings) have reach a contractual agreement with Branch. Teams are trying to work out a compensation package with the Patriots.

I really can't see the Pats trading Branch to a team within the division, right? But keep in mind the Jets have 2 second round picks next year, thanks to the Redskins.

As a Jets fan, I would love to have Branch and Coles out there. This would be a big improvement for the Jets.

However, I'm sure that Branch isn't worth a 1st round pick and I don't know if he is even worth a 2nd round pick (even a late 2nd round pick which is what the Redskins pick will probably turn into).

Maybe the trade will be straight up for McCareins. j/k.

This has the potential to be the worst trade for a wide receiver since... the Jets traded for Coles! j/k Jets fans I'm just bustin' balls.

Curious to see the details of this deal. However, if the Pats let you guy it's probably a good sign you're not worth what you're gonna get.

this is the case, even as the Patriots are well under the cap. these guys hold the line pretty ruthlessly.

Wow, if the Seahawks do this they're the defacto #1 team in the NFC. I don't see any arguments otherwise.

I thought for sure hed be going to NO.

Ill be happy with him in NY, but not for a first rounder.

rumor says a 2nd round pick and a "pretty good player" from the Jets.

contract of 6 years, $36 million

We're not already?

I don't think signing a WR makes nearly as big a difference as would picking up another db, but I still think we're the class of the NFC, especially given our schedule.

I agree with this that's why I can't see the Jets giving up a first or 2nd rounder for him. If they do I will not be happy.

Side Note: I thought Tannenbaum did well yesterday.

Looks like he got a 6th round pick for Jolley from Tampa. He got a run blocking TE, Ryan from Dallas for a 7th. And then he traded Bollinger for a DT, Mosley and another pick (probably a 6th or 7th). That's not bad considering Jolley and Bollinger were going to get cut most likely anyway.
