He will be at practice in a Patriot uniform by the first practice after the final exhibition game, ie the first practice preparing for the opener.
He will play vs Buffalo, but only on a limited basis.

No real evidence to back this up, just my gut feeling based on all of the developments.

Here's my prediction, September first he will continue to be a holdout. Unless the Pats chicken out, I don't see him signing. I just hope that someone who get's cut from comes here, learns the offense, and contributes, cause we need the help. I'd be thrilled if Tampa was stupid enough to cut Maurice Stovall (and then he signs with us), but I don't see it happening. I was hoping we would draft him in the third round, except we picked David Thomas instead.

He wont be ready to play a full game, but will be used in situations.

If you saw the interview with steve burton you see that Branchis ready to end this and kind of wondering what's going on.

I think Chayut has told him the Pats will fold when he threatens to hold out.

When this seek a trade ploy shows the Pats are ready to move on Deion will start asking his agent to settle this or get rid of him.

Does anyone see Deion going through with this hold out business? It's all Chayut and his bluff has been called IMO.

My prediction is if he plays before game 10, he will re-sign long term. If he plays game 10 and after - he's gone after the season. Sorry, hard for me to make a prognosis on the situation in the short run.

The day after the first game BB suspends him for the year.

Chayut is fired before 9/1 and Branch negotiates a new contract with another agent by Labor Day.

This makes the most sense to me, I find this whole Chayut agent thing out of character for Deion and it seems that he needs to find someone who will represent his personna better.

My prediction remains that Branch reports with only one or two practices before Buffalo and forcing BB into a stiuation where Branch is available but does not play.

He's gone this far - I just think he'll take it up to the brink and make BB be the one to make the call that he does or doesn't play
