Branch update
With the New England Patriots' Friday deadline fast approaching, there don't seem to be any serious takers for the services of receiver Deion Branch.
This could be a wake-up call to Branch and his agent, Jason Chayut.
So if previous reports are true, Branch should take $8 million in guarantees the Patriots had offered. Nobody seems willing to spend more, especially when they'll also have to toss in a first-day draft pick.
Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo told reporters yesterday that the Patriots only allowed Branch to talk to other teams, so he could see the market.
Meanwhile, San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Nolan was quoted in the San Jose Mercury News as saying that he is not sure that the Patriots "really want to lose him."
