100% pure John Clayton speculation at its finest folks

my post taken from the misleading thread.

Quote:

Deion Branch has been a spotlight for speculation this off-season, as many fans are disappointed in his production since he's been here - Silvi asked John whether he thought the wide receiver would be moved this off-season as well.

"I think so - I think there is interest, if they play it right, to try and get some draft-choice compensation. Probably the best offer they're going branch bradyto get is from the New England Patriots - Tom Brady wants Deion back, and if that's the case, they may be willing to offer a 4th round pick to try to get him. Certainly, what they'd probably want to do, is get him to reduce his salary, which I think he would just to try to accommodate some kind of trade and get him back in that region."

The last thread based on this crap just disappeared and you had to start another???

Every hack out there is going to be speculating this over the next few weeks, might as well get used to it. Doesn't mean that there's anything to it- just that it's an easy story to tell, and doesn't require much thought to come up with.

It makes sense on alot of levels. Deion getting back to where he had success. we have need for WR depth and even if he isn't as good as his first tour here he knows the system and brady which was our biggest problem with WRs not named Moss and Welker.

But has one huge flaw - which is the way he left was not on the best circumstances - Certainly this wouldn't be a huge hurdle to overcome but either or both sides might not want to.

With that said I would love Deion back but not at his current price.

It's easy speculation - especially since Branch may very well be cut. I can't see them giving him his current salary plus a draft pick though, especially if Branch has lost his quickness.

If that's the case I don't see the point of bringing back Branch no matter what the price. Better to trade for an established WR.

Screw you Mr. Peabody.

Branch is not worth a 4th

Going back to the thread in question, it was followed by ????

Further in the post it was indicated that the information could not be confirmed at that time.. yes it was qualified speculation...and perhaps it was heard wrong, that is why the choice was made to delete it.

Comprende???

Branch has been fine in Seattle, when he's on the field. The problem is that he is one of the most fragile players in the league, and no change of scenery is going to fix that.

what number would he wear?
