You don't give something without getting something in return. Not if you are a good business man and the Pats are great business men.

So the Pats gave Branch this, what did he give them in return?

The only thing that makes sense is he agreed that is he can't make a deal by 9/1 then he agreed he ends his holdout and comes in.

I believe Mr. Branch's bubble is about to get burst.
I tend to agree with you.

Trade Deion Branch to the Minnesota Vikings for a second round draft pick and then put the screws to him:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2559815

''Depending on how Broncos officials resolve various fines and potential penalties pending against Lelie as a result of his decision to boycott the team's offseason activities -- and his failure to report to training camp despite having a contract -- the four-year veteran could go into the red for 2006."

Don't be surprised if BB gets a below average offer for Deon

and ends up waiving him instead.

Assuming the Pats really would let him go to another team. What trade would be sufficient?

Jerry Porter and...?

or

A bottom feeders' (Houston, Detroit, Green Bay, San Francisco) number 1 pick?

Or some secret under the table deal has already been done which allows Branch to get his money and gives the Pats adequate compensation.
I assume this is highly illegal, but it's possible.

Let the chips fall where they may.
Better to be done with all this crap before it becomes any more of a distraction. I've had about enough.
The season's about to begin, either you're on the bus, or you're not.
