In September, wide receiver Deion Branch became New England's latest cash casualty. Unable to work out a deal with the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIX, the Patriots traded him to Seattle for a 2007 first-round draft pick.

The move "took the air" out of Pro Bowl defensive end Richard Seymour, who said Branch "embodied everything we wanted."
Nice quote A holdout not getting his way took the air out of RS. LOL. I suspect Richard's success contributed to the Twig's departure.

Smart of Vrabs to say Meadowlands, keeps it to two teams. But I wonder if this is a bit of a back hand to Mangini for trying to woo players away, or getting things sticky in the Branch negotiations?
Great read, thanks for the link.

Great article. I just cross-posted it on all the AFCE rival USENET newsgroups for their fans' edification.

that was a great article! Thanks for the post. I also liked Vinny's comments about what the Krafts do to go the extra yard as far as practice facilities and meals. though I have never thought it myself it goes to show that Kraft is not cheap at all and is more than willing for to spend the extra buck for his franchise.
