If thats true, Mangini is a ******* ********. I'd lose all the ******* respect I had for that *****.

its rumor mill...all this is smoke blowing until anything actually happens.

They're not doing it for the agent, they're doing it to make a division rival weaker. Or at least attempting to do so.

Aren't the Postons famous for this kind of thing too?

Well it doesnt keep me from being angry.

It's a perfectly sound tactic to employ. If you can make an opponent significantly weaking by simply offering Reggie Wayne money to Branch, then it will make the Pats FO's job that much harder.

While it may piss us Pats fans off, I don't begrudge Mangini and Co. He's doing his job.

I don't buy this theory at all. What would Mangini gain by doing this strictly as a favor to Chayut? Nothing.

A more likely but still far fetched theory is that the Pats definitely want to trade Branch and have "asked" Mangini to make a counter offer to the Seahawks or any other team who wants to bid for Branch just so they could get more from that team in return. While it seems unlikely that this has happened, I can see Mangini doing a favor for BB as much more credible then him doing a favor for Chayut. After all, who does he owe more for his career as a football coach? It certainly isn't Chayut.

Week 2 revenge will be so sweet.

Seriously I wouldn´t mind getting the Jets # 1 pick. Even with Branch they would still be a sorry team.
