IMHO, they would be forced to trade him to the Seahawks or Jets. Of course, if those teams know the Pats have to trade Branch, they may give a low-ball offer.DB15 said:what the hell would happen?
im not saying it is going to happen but I dont understand.. would the pats be forced to trade him for the best offer according to whom
thoughts?
Arbitration would take the team from the Kraft family and return it to the Sullivans who would cut Brady and sign Deion in his place. They would hire Wannstadt from U of Pittsburgh and he would hire the Syracuse HC to be his DC and Spurrier to be his OC. Then they would trade Watson and Vrabel to Dallas for Bledsoe. After that my vision is too horrifying to reveal...DB15 said:what the hell would happen?

I think that's what Branch/Chayut want to have happen here. Instead of going to an arbitrater, they would probably love to have someone come in and broker (impose?) a trade of the Pats.MoLewisrocks said:Actually the precedent wasn't set with TO. There was no decision in his case, which was entirely different and centered on his being penalized because of a mistake his agent made in not filing the necessary paperwork to void the final 3 years of his contract with SF in a timely manner. The league was fearful in that case that an arbitrator might actually agree and grant him FA so the three teams involved (SF, Baltimore and Philly) got together and worked out a deal where he went to Philly. The union was steamed at TO for agreeing to the deal, and warned hm his contract with Philly was not a good deal. As usual he didn't listen.
