Default Seattle shopping Branch

Personally I'd love to see him back as the #3. If it costs a 5th rd or 4th at best, I'd hope the Pats would go for it. He could put on the uniform and contribute immediately (if he isn't hurt again that is).

The cap hit for the pats wouldn't amount to much. The only issue I see would be if other teams with Patriot roots would want him more than the Pats (Browns, Chiefs, Broncos).

Trade or cut Galloway and fill his spot with someone Brady knows & trusts.

This could be big. Branch in, Galloway to the Ravens for a 7th (and his contract gone with him).

IF a deal is swung, it would be a conditional low-round pick. As we all know, Branch has been a huge disappointment for the 'Hawks.

For nostalgia's sake, I'd love to see him here.
Being a realist, I'm not sure how healthy and productive he is and can be.

A fourth? Have you seen him play in Seattle? He has done nothing, maybe a 7th but even then I thought he had a high salary.

I think the bridge has burned where Branch is concerned. Not that it matters anyhow as he's toast.

Exactly, we pissed away our 3rd on Burgess, no way do we deal away our 2010 - 4th for an injury waiting to happen Deion Branch with a different knee than the one he left here with.

His salary would be the big obstacle. In 2009, he would only need to be the #3 receiver. A sorta "outrun you, not the bear" thing.

Galloway started his career in Seattle. Wouldn't that be ironic.

Do you have a link or source for the story that Seattle is shopping Branch?

Did you see Moss play in Oakland? Granted Branch doesn't have the physical upside Moss has but guys perform differently in different situations. Galloway seems to still have his speed and athletic ability but with the Pats can't even get in the stadium on gameday. For whatever reason Branch seemed to flourish with the Pats and Brady so I'd be all for getting him here. If the price is right I say come on down.
