...which, after this season, will be about the same as the offers he received from the Jets and Hawks.

Now the world knows that only two teams thought he could be worth more
than those insulting Patriots' offers.
But they didn't think he is worth enough more ... to compensate his current employer commensurately.
Now I'm confused again (still?). Originally I thought as you, that letting Branch find a team this time of year was an advantage to Branch. But then everyone convinced me that no, because of less CAP money and rosters already set, that Branch would have been worth A LOT more last spring.BelichickFan said:In theory we should be able to get more now as the acquiring team would have the player for this season.

dhamz said:What has changed is he knows for a fact that not only are there a couple teams willing to pay him more $ than the Pats, those teams are also willing to give up picks too in order to get him.
I don't see how Deion is in a worse spot today than he was a week ago.

I don't get that. Why wouldn't you play your best WR who is most in tune with your QB? Through all the trials of different players, from Milloy, to Law, to Seymour's holdout, BB has yet to cut off his nose.patsox23 said:Perhaps. What has ALSO changed, though, is the Patriots ability to SIT Deion, which is the last thing he wants. He wants to play. We are now better positioned to not allow him to play.
