Personally, I wouldn't give up a 3rd rounder for a 31-year-old with 13 catches and 112 over a quarter of a season. But that's just me.Quote:

plus why would we want a squawk reject?
who the hell would trade a third for Branch? Ts is nuts and some of our fans have gone mad. We are a team that could still end up 4-12 and to give up a third for a guy who is always injured and well past his prime is basically idiocy. Especially with how well Devaney has drafted recently.
Can we trade the OP for a 7th round pick?
They can have Branch. I'm not against trading away draft picks for proven talent, but I want guys that have a few years left in the tank.
i wouldn't give more than a 6th for that guy. He's no better or worse than Laurent RObinson.
Exact same thing I was thinking.Quote:

I'd consider Branch if he were A) from another team and B) cost less than a 4th. But, he wasn't, he didn't, and he was already traded.
Devaney must see a flaw in this receiver, he picked out Clayton and basically paid peanuts for the kid and he turned out to be a jewel in the rough until that injury. Until he can see something good, I'll wait for the all-seeing Devaney to decide who's another jewel in the rough WR.
Ike Bruce is available...
A 31-year old Branch for a 4th on a playoff contender makes sense, especially when the same team just got a 3rd rounder for Moss. They come out ahead in draft picks and reunite Brady with one of his old favorite targets.
What does that same deal do for us? We're not a playoff contender this year. Even if we improve a little bit on offense, the defense still isn't championship material at this point. I don't know that Branch gives us even one more win this season. He's not familiar with our system. He hasn't worked with Bradford in the past. And he'll be a little older, a little slower by this time next year.
