It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I have repeatedly heard reference to the three team deal and how there is no way Denver did not initiate it. Let me spitball here: Tampa Bay reaches out to Detroit and says "who you be interested in this deal," Detroit responds "it would," and Tampa Bay then contacts Denver with a proposal (not a hammered out contract, that would require a higher order of involvement). I am having a hard time understanding why all the junior GMs blasting Denver are having such a hard time fathoming that possibility.
Was Cook his agent when Cutler signed his existing contract? If not, Cook gets nada until he negotiates a new one IIRC. I'm always skeptical when a player gets a new agent and then screams for a new contract or a trade........
It is funny that he is basically calling McDaniels a hypocrite and then acting hypocritical towards him in this case.

Please locate this phantom quote by myself chastising Branch's agent. It doesn't exist.
The Broncos front office is showing its ineptitude by at the same time telling their QB he's their guy, and then telling him they will continue listening to offers for their QB as they come. They are showing their ineptitude by at the same time denying they ever considered an offer for Cutler, and then telling him that they did consider offers.
I thought in the whole Branch fiasco your stance was that Chayut was an idiot, and that Branch only wanted more money for his special-needs son, and that Chayut negotiating through the media for a new contract or trade was the wrong way to go.
Then find it, because I never said it. What you wrote is so different from my stance toward Branch's behavior, a stance I did not change.
If it exists please find it; posters can't delete posts after like a day it's been up. You won't find it because you're completely making this up.
source:http://www.patsfans.com/new-england...l-branch-dead-me-thread-page2.html#post147480You're completely right.Sorry, but the Seymour situation was totally different just by virtue of the fact that Branch is not in the same class as Seymour. Also, Seymour's agent DID negotiate. Chayut has done no such thing. He told the pats to F**K off and that Deion would be holding out of camp unless the Patriots guaranteed that they wouldn't use the Franchise tag on Branch next year.
But I won't hold Branch's idiot agent against him.

He hired his agent to represent him, to do the work for him. Obviously Chayut is doing a horrible job, but we need to stop attributing *all* of these recent boneheaded actions to Branch.
I'm truly getting pissed at Branch. It's one thing when we can pretend it's all his agent ill-advising him, but clearly the man knows what he's doing.
I am really shocked after all that Tom Brady has done for Branch that this little WR would now leave his QB out to dry. He's under contract and should be out there for his main man. But he's putting himself first. "F" him.
Deion doesn't have ordinary kids. With the way our health care system is going, it may easily cost a few million or more to pay for one of those kids, who will be uninsurable once Deion leaves the NFL.
I'm not saying he couldn't have done it on $6 million a year, but when you come down to it, he is just like anyone else in his position. I was on his case because I thought his salary demands were crazy. They weren't. Other teams were willing to pay.
Look, I'm not going to bring this up to make a political point, but if you're a Republican and you're bagging on Deion, then you're being a bit hypocritical because the argument that the GOP uses for the death tax is that rich people should be allowed to give their earnings to their kids, whether or not their kids would be just fine without it. It's the same thing. Americans want to pass on riches to their kids, especially when a kid has a debilitating illness.
Great point, and I totally forgot about this. Branch ACTUALLY has a kid with a debilitating, expensive disease. He's one of the rare players who can actually use this excuse and that it's legitimate.
Regardless of this fact, my previous points still hold, I think.

Also, this got lost in the thread, but Branch actually HAS a kid with a debilitating disease that could easily wipe out his fortune in a short amount of time.
I appreciate you actually taking the time to do that, I can tell you were being earnest and not just being a d*ck like the McDaniels ball washers here.
Still, I fail to see how my past comments about Branch paints an inconsistent picture when it comes to my view toward Cutler or the Broncos front office. The McDaniels lovers are simply using your comments to somehow discredit my points because I am somehow being irrational over McDaniels, when I'm not. I think the past two months, never mind the past few years, are showing to the rest of football America just how inexperienced McDaniels is and how clueless he is over situational awareness, on and off the field.
Why?????
JM has every right to look this d-bag right in the face and say "Yeah, I considered trading your 17-20, sorry-ass for a guy that I think I can win with....... but I didn't, deal with it".
screw Cutler, he's got a lot of stones. Some people are comparing is whining with lord Farvaquare, and in some way's it's similar, with one MAJOR difference. At least Farvaquare had a couple good-great seasons under his belt to point to even if they were 600 years ago. WTF is Cutler using to inflate his ego?
In 3 years post-Cutler, Denver might actually be good again.
Now we have both Cutler and Bus Cook talking to the press not only about contracts, but about heart-to-heart player-coach conversations like this is Jerry Jones' Dallas Cowboys.
