Deion Branch: Patriots vs. Seahawks stats comparison

[Captain Cliche]

extra 4th round draft pick for a known commodity that fits your system....check

getting your franchise QB his binkie back at a discount....priceless


seems to be paying dividends early and often.

Doubtful - we'd have to cut someone to make room -for- Branch, and then hope that Minnesota would have had paid the same price, instead of offering less since we'd be carrying a surplus of WRs.

That's not even mentioning the potential circus that would've happened if Branch/Moss were on the same team. The Moss distraction would only have metasized at a rate that the Patriots might not have been able to handle.


One other point I wanted to bring up:

The Patriots made the deal essentially because Branch agreed to renegotiate his contract to something more agreeable to the Patriots.

So the contract that Seattle didn't want was amended to a more team-friendly contract the Patriots were willing to give up a fourth round pick for. I'm not sure the Patriots would have agreed to the fourth round pick if Branch hadn't renegotiated his contract to something more Patriots-friendly.

My question was assuming that Moss would have been traded immediately following the Branch trade.

I hope you guys realize that Deus acts obtuse on purpose to keep the argument going. Getting upset instead of just moving on is really what he wants from you. Anyone with a brain can see Branch was worth the pick in any context.

Which is the classic definition of an Internet troll. Put him on your ignore list and you'll be much better off.
