I will be happy to see Denion, not happy about the way he shot his way out of town . . . my only defense of him is that Givens got a 4 year rookie deal and was thus about to cash in on his 5th yr, whereas Branch got a 5 year rookie deal and was facing working his 5th yr at rookei salary while is counterpart Givens was getting a fat FA contract. Since that point 5 year rookie deals are illegal in the NFL excpet for 1st rounders . . .
So I can see how Denion would of been upset, also his story was that he was promise a 4 year deal and when he got to rookkie camp the pats "handed him" a 5 year deal and he was stuck and had to sign it.
I can see his points in wanted to only have a 4 year rookie deal and that is what Givens got and it was prohibiit by the NFL after Denion signed his . . .
