I think the damage is done. I don't think we'll ever see Mr. Branch in a Pats uni again. I would trade Deion Branch immediately to the Raiders for their disgruntled, but extremely talented WR Jerry Porter.They've already shown that they don't need him (Randy Moss & Doug Gabriel are studs, and 2 other BIG receivers in Johnnie Morant & Ronald Curry, and speedster Alvis Witted), so his trade value is almost the same as Branch's. The only thing I would worry about is, if he can't handle Art Shell, there's no way he could handle Bill Belichick. Porter is a better WR in my book, regardless of Branch's SB MVP. He's actually only a year older that Branch too.
Why have an asset like Branch hold a gun to your head, possibly sit out the whole year and, and disrupt your WR corp and team, and get nothing in return ? I know it sounds crazy, but that's what I'd do, give Branch an ultimamtum to get back to the team by the end of the week, if he say's no, trade him immediately.
