Both of them for hitching their wagon to the Sanchez star.

Pete was trading a Big Contract...Branch just didn't fit well in that Seattle Offense, plus he was always injured for them. I vote Ryan for giving up Woodhead!

Giving up Woodhead. And it ain't close.

*We are not in the same division as the Seahawks.

*Seattle got something in return -- a 4th round pick. Jets got zip.

* Sea was pretty all set at WR. Woodhead >>>>>> McVomit

Not going to answer this, but I would like to name those who were outraged that we traded a fourth for Branch. Where are they now? I am heading towards the thread when Branch got back to know them.

At least Pete recommended that he stay in school one more year for more experience (and to help Carroll's own record at USC).....

Seahawks got something for Branch; Jets got nothing for Woodhead.

Seahawks had several other capable receivers: Jets had a short term rental (LdT) and a couple of others with little or no experience.

Branch was making more than he was worth in Seattle, diminishing his value; Woodhead was probably making the minimum in New Jersey.

Woodhead is six years younger than Branch.



I wouldn't say Carroll's trading Branch was a dumb move at all; more like a win-win for both sides.

In hindsight, even Ryan will admit that letting Woodhead go was a poor decision.

Better question: which was worse—the JEST releasing Danny Woodhead, or Miami allowing the Patriots to swoop in and steal Welker?

That's a much better question. On one hand Miami did at least get something in return - even if that center they drafted only lasted a year or two. On the other hand the Dolphins should have had a better idea of what Welker was capable of than the Jets did with Woodhead.

Woodhead by miles. The way the NYJ found themselves in this pickle is the real story. They traded up one place higher than the Pats to choose McKnight, RB. BB chose Hernandez with the next pick. To protect an out-of-shape McKnight on the roster, Woody was released. Welcome to the Pats "find" of the year.
