If true, they should bench him the entire season, franchise him, and then bench him next season as well.

I was just about to start a thread asking what people thought the time frame would be regarding these hearings.

That statement was made by shefter earlier in the week.

Pats can't bench or suspend him when he comes back. It's against the cba. It would be in his best interest to play well to get next years offers up.

As much as we hate what is happening here the Patriots will continue to treat this as purely business.

There will be no 'cutting off of noses to spite faces' - If Deion returns for playing duty in week 10 then BB will make a decison based purely upon footballing reasons regarding where he fits on the WR depth chart.

Im just as pissed as the next guy about the way Branch has shafted my team, but I trust the FO to make a decison based upon logic and not emotion.

After all, that was the reason I backed them whenever some ignorant Boston reporter accused them of being cheap , Milloy, Brown etc etc

Can't they threaten to put him on the did not report list, where he'd be out for the year, and wouldn't get another year towards free agency? I thought they use to do that, didn't they? Has that changed?

Give it a week. I think Deon is going to the Seahawks, and we'll get our first rounder.

I'm glad our FO has more patience than I do. I hate this stuff. When I see other teams go through things like this, I think "Boy, I'm glad we don't have to deal with that crap". Let's hope it's EARLY next week.
After all, we DO have a freakin GAME to play.
