Default How much is branch worth???

OK, branch may be traded. What is the minimum he should be traded for?

Keep in mind that if branch still doesn't want to play for the Pats after this season, we will have to franchise him or let him go.

If we franchise him next season and trade him I think we are in a weaker postition than we are now, and will not get as much.

However, we get more time to deal with our lack of above average WR.

I say if branch is half as good as he thinks, we should get a first for him, or maybe a second and swap places in the first (like denver did with wash).

Absolutely more than just a second, for all the hassle branch has caused.

One other thing - Maybe allowing branch to seek a trade is part of a deal between branch and the Pats.

Maybe his agent said let us seek a trade, if we don't get one we will play out the season. Who knows

Ashley Lelie, who is one 4th the player Deion is brought a third.
Honetsly, he should bring a minimum of a high 2nd or low first.

Sttill think it is better to promise not to franchise and have him come in and get one monster`year out of him.

I don't think he's worth any more than Three fitty. Thats right. Three Fitty.

In all seriousness, I think he's worth a first round pick. He's a proven #1 receiver who shows up in the big game. EOS.

A starting quality receiver and a 3-4 rounder, at least.

Depends. Would the team have only 1 year of control over him? Or would they agree to an extension before the trade?

I never thought I'd say it, but I would be 100% OK with the Pats trading Branch at this point b/c of the way he has acted.

That said...I think the Pats are only doing this so that Branch will see that on the free market, he's not worth nearly what he thinks he's worth.

anyone in here who thinks we could get a first rounder for him obviously doesnt know how nfl trades work

we'd get a second rounder for him or a player and a second day pick for him

NO WAY would we ever get a first rder for him
