When you start saying a team bullied you into signing a deal longer than you wanted as a rookie,
tells free agents not to come here, and smears you in the media, I dunno, I would kind of take it personally.
The story goes that he told Javon Walker not to visit because they wouldn't pay him enough. Of course, Walker showing up would also have hurt Meion's value on the FA market when he should have become a UFA a few months ago.I'm not sure what that is about. I'm not sure who he told not to come here.
Yep - because he'd already gotten his payday.I know he spoke highly of the organization to Stallworth when he signed here
Minicamp this week is open to the media, it will actually be a damn good news week, the last for quite a while.but today it was nice the hear Colvin and Harrison on the radio.. a nice reminder of things to come.
He is philosophically opposed to charities?With Branch it was philisophical.
So it was philospophical NOT to appear at the charity event?? NO that to me is strictly personal...not countering any offer for months..THAT is a lot deeperthan just business... you can't get to a win win situuation whiel doing things like that...I disagree with this.
With Branch it was philisophical. Branch felt they should ignore the last year of his old deal and give him a new contract right away. The Pats felt the value of the last year of his rookie deal could not be ignored.
When you look at what Branch wanted and what the Pats offered, the difference came down to the Pats not giving up the value of the last year of his old deal. There wasn't a value difference other than that.
The Samuel dispute doesn't have any of that. It comes straight down to how much they think he is worth. If they can meet somewhere that both parties agree on his value, an extension will get done. If not, it won't.
Cornerback Asante Samuel was not present. Samuel’s situation was one of the topics that players were asked about.
“You pay attention to it, because he’s a teammate of yours, and a teammate of yours that helped you win football games and you want him back, to help you to continue to win football games,” said linebacker Tedy Bruschi. “That’s all you can really think about. There is nothing you can really say or do to remedy the situation at all. It’s between him and the organization.”
According to Reiss' blog,Samuels is NOT there:

*Brady DID get Longest Drive,though
THAT IS interesting...so who did Holley see then....I take Holley as the dread expert...so..who is right in this??? If it is Reiss that is right..my apologies for the thread as I was only reporting what heard..Dale and Holley said they saw him. Someone's confusing the dreadlocked guys!

The best you can say about Branch is that after it was over, after he shot his way out of town, he then reversed himself and said the right things. Whether that makes him politically savvy or a hypocrit is open to opinion.
Holley should know better!
SO how does NOT attending a charity event have ANYTHING to do with leverage?? I think many saw Branch in a different light after that..and IF ANYTHING I think it showed how he didn't wish to be part of the team..more personal than anything business wise...and I think if it was to gain leverage, it showed how deep it all was. And HOW does not negotiating lead to the outcome of a contract??That is a little dramatic, no? He wasn't going to show at any team-sponsored events or activities. Nothing more than that.
Yes..he did....which I think speaks volumes as to the possible outcome..Didn't Sey attend a charity tourney during his hold-out? Not really comparing the 2,but ...well,maybe I am:bricks: and prolly shouldn't be.
