It's easy, and only takes a few moments.What's even more fun are the guys saying they better be getting a Patriots' player in return, the list so far: Seymour, Graham, Green - I can't wait for them to mention Brady or Cassell!mavfan2390 said:Some more quotes from Raiders fans........
Looks like we found our numero uno reciever (Caldwell has looked inconsistent, Branch is gone for picks, Jackson is injured, and Brown is old).
scout said:I like this trade. Gives the Patriots a big target with some speed. Someone who has "POTENTIAL". How do you know he's a steal when we don't know the compensation. Right now, its fourth down and goal from the 15 for the world championship. Who would you rather have catching the ball, Branch or Gabriel? I realize Branch is a goner, but I haven't forgotten his contributions. He was clutch. Until Gabriel or Johnson (steps onto the field) shows the consistent clutch grab, we don't know what we have. But I do like the trade.
Isaac said:This whole things seems a bit too good to be true---why would the Raiders give this guy up with 2 years left on his deal?!?
I'm bracing myself for the compensation being steep = 2nd round pick or a 3 + a 4...
Nah people got thier own opinions... but its all good, im one of his biggest fans, im glad he finally gets chance to be a goto guy... and heres the gif if your too lazy to goto the linkPatsRI said:Check out the video a raiders fan shows us of Gabriel.

Thanks AndroidRaider24, must not be making too many friends on your own board though.

Some of those mother****ers are even talking ****...
But they seem very satisfied...
This sucks, we better be getting a good pick for him. Or Richard Seymour.

You got yourself a #1 WR for #3 money.. Best of luck to Gabs.. he's going to be a stud for you guys (which admittedly makes me a bit sick to my stomach). I'm thinking that we'll likely get a 2nd round pick for him and you'll replace that pick with the 2nd or 1st you'll get for "twiggy" (LOL).. so you basically get a better WR without the asshat attitude, with more upside, for less money.. feh. Not many in the Raidernation are too happy about this trade, but we've got enough talent logjammed at WR to afford to give up Gabs, I guess. It still hurts, but I think we'll see similar production from Curry or Morant.
If we wind up with a single 3rd round pick or worse for him, I think most of us will be a bit pissed on the whole deal. We're collectively holding our breath hoping for a Randy Moss / Doug Jolley kind of deal where we get plenty of value (perhaps more than we aught to) in negotiations.
We shall see!
Best,

cblesz said:Would surely trade Branch to the Seahawks now. Would not deal with the Jets, period. Although it would be nice to send Deion to a crappy team. But, I do not want him to come back an haunt us. Send him to Seattle for a player and their first rounder which will be close to a second rounder, anyway. The Pats continue to amaze me. Do not cave into Branch. Send him packing...it will set precedent for any other ungrateful, greedy players in the organization who think they can hold the FO hostage.
Thanks for the note, and especially the hope that the pick sours some Raiderfan tummies. Throw an egg at your Ben Dreith monument for me. :rocker:Turo said:Congrats, Patsie* fans.. =/ Thought I'd log in to share my $0.02..

WOW! Maybe you should re-read your thread. "I'm not saying Branch is a stiff but with Gabriel and Jackson"... What memorable catch has Jackson made in the pros that has given you a woody? I'll even give you preseason. Branch is a "shrimp" and a "twig", and has been just a slightly above receiver.I'm Ron Borges? said:Yes, clutch in two Super Bowls, average in the regular season. Just like Givens was. Let someone else pay slightly above average receivers huge money and maybe the Pats can rent them when they get to the Super Bowl. Unlike you, who probably doesn't even know who this guy is, I've watched him for the last seven years and he's gotten better each year, despite playing with some questionable quarterbacks. I'm not saying Branch is a stiff but with Gabriel and Jackson, the Patriots could have two big, fast receivers if things work out instead of a shrimp who can't get open against double coverage. That doesn't excite you at all? Seriously, I think people around here can attest that I don't just jump on board anything the Patriots do, I just really like this move. Man, you can't win around here. I'm going back to being negative. At least when you guys get mad over that, it makes me laugh.
