Deion Branch likely headed back to New England

[Hasselbeck]

This trade is picking up lots of momentum.. and I talked to Krebs dad who says it might happen.

Tom Brady always appears to be a step ahead of the rest, so it's not surprising he contacted a potential target even before Randy Moss was dealt to the Vikings.
According to The Boston Globe, Brady knew the Moss trade was in the works and reached out to Seahawks receiver Deion Branch over the last week. The two discussed the possibility of Branch, 31, returning to New England this year to fill the void left by Moss.
Branch, who played for the Patriots from 2002-2005 and was Super Bowl XXXIX MVP, has just 13 receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown this season in Seattle. He was traded to the Seahawks for a 2007 first-round draft pick prior to the 2006 season. The Patriots used the pick to take University of Miami safety Brandon Meriweather at No. 24 overall in the 2007 draft.

Now, call this a hunch, but in this week of quiet, John Schneider appears to be pretty active. A day after pulling the trigger and grabbing a legitimate starting RB in Marshawn "Beast Mode" Lynch, a sports marketing agent on Twitter appears to think that there is "about to be" another Seahawks trade in the next 12-24 hours. The agent is BrockHillman, who tweets:



[BrockHillman] Believes there is about to be another trade tonight or early tomorrow involving the Seahawks. [Tweet 1, then he responded to me...] i have other players as well...lol just a ton of trades lately I would be suprised if there is more...it's bye week [Tweet 2...] I would prefer things to calm down and the players get comfortable and playing together [tweet 3]
Okay, so, so what? Well, Brock Hillman represents (at least) six Seahawks including Deion Branch, Colin Cole, David Hawthorne, Roy Lewis, Will Herring, and Cameron Morrah. That doesn't necessarily mean it's one of them. Anyway, Hillman has an interesting insight. We'll see if anything else happens, but it's more than just a fan saying "golly, I bet there'll be another trade, h'yuck."

Whats on your wish-list, Seahawks fans?

[Update]: Mr. Hillman has since deleted the tweet.

That news is so 2005.

Who cares.

Deion Branch is a one-year wonder whose career is over.

This is about as meaningful as Javon Walker signing with Minnesota over the summer.

 

[Aso]

Isn't he set to earn between 5 and 6 mil next year? Who would trade for that?

With enough touches, New England would make anyone look like a million bucks... See: Florida's C-Squad receiving corps they had a while back. :shifty:

WHAT A BLOCKBUSTER!

 

[Golden Taters]

We are retarded to even think about trading David Hawthorne.

Talks around here is that the Patriots would require him to restructure his deal which I could see him doing since he has said that he would be interested in coming back to the Patriots.

It would be a huge steal if they could get him for the 3rd they got from Minnesota. Who wouldn't take Branch over Moss?

and I talked to Krebs dad who says it might happen.

Inside joke?
