Napolean Harris and Troy Williamson for Deion Branch.
I don't think Williamson will ever be a top receiver in this league, but I think he will be a good enough No. 2 guy that he is worth keeping. Seriously though, the Vikings need a wide reciever. Is there any team with less in that position right now? If the season started today, Troy Williamson and Travis Taylor would probably be starting there. |

At least they didn't use three 1st-round picks in the past 3 years for Roy Williams and Corey Bradford to be their starters

You can tell Troy Williamson will never be a huge star just by his name alone.

Giants cut Rob Johnson...thank fuck.
They also cut Boo Williams...surprising actually, I thought he'd make the team easily |

About the whole Branch thing, last year was his first year getting 1,000 yards (well like 2 yards away so whatever) so now he wants to get paid. Understandable, but he is looking for Reggie Wayne type money (two back to back 1,000+ [2004;1,210 and 2005; 1,055] yard seasons) so I don't know. Wayne got a bonus of 13.5 mil and the Patriots had offered Branch a contract with a bonus of 8 mil. I am not totaly sure what Branch was offered on the back end of that deal. I know Wayne got 40 million but NFL players care more about the bonuses since that is the only money that is guaranteed, not saying the back end of the deal isn't important but the signing bonus is the big thing.
Right now I am looking at the wideouts and I see Troy Brown as the #1 and that is pretty pathetic looking. At the sametime though, I watched the Patriots win the Superbowl with Antowain Smith (642 rushing yards) as their #1 RB so I am not extremely worried about it. Plus the offense has been cruising this pre-season, I don't put too much into the score or anything like that during the pre-season but when you are seeing the 1's vs the 1's out on the field and the offense isn't stopped once, that looks pretty good to me. Oh yeah, Ben Watson runs a 4.4 ![]() |

Ben Watson is crazy fast for a tight end

I think he actually did catch him. And hate to break it to you, but it was a touchback.

Yah Branch is nowhere near Reggie Waynes level. But he should atleast get paid on the Darrell Jackson, Antwan Randle El level.

Yeah exactly, why should the Patriots be idiots with their money like the Redskins? I think Branch is gonna shop around and hopefully see that isn't worth as much money as he thinks he is. Or maybe it could turn out bad for the Pats and some team may overpay him, if thats the case then oh well. Patriots haven't really over payed any player since the 'Belichick Era' began and it has been working out pretty good.
Maybe they can trade Branch for AJ Hawk? ![]() ![]() |

Speaking of the Packers, I think Woodson should give GB back part of his signing bonus, he got undressed in that Bengals game

If they traded Hawk for Branch, I would officially be through with the Packers...

Since Randy Lerner has taken over Aston Villa now and with the Glazer's already owning United, with all the rumours of the last few years of an NFL game being brought to England, would a Bucs/Browns game @ Wembley or even Old Trafford be inconceivable?

If anyone is gonna get a home game away from their stadium it will probably be the Giants since they had 9 home games last year, I think the idea of games in other countries is almost as stupid as the All Star game deciding home field advantage though

Plus the Giants and Bucs are on the east coast. I can definitely see Glazer getting into it, maybe even trying to get it hosted at Old Trafford. Lerner at the moment seems to be very much taking a hands off approach though.

If they did, it would be a preseason game. The NFL wouldn't piss off it's fans that much by moving a regular season game out there.

" I think we got a Pro Bowl quarterback and a top 10 pick out of the deal " said Eric Mangini. " This kid could win us some Superbowls. Not next year or the year after. I'm talking this year fellas. He's good" said Mangini.
