Branch all but forgotten in Seattle
Published by Seahawkfanatic on December 9, 2008
Shifty receiver Deion Branch has made moves far better than this one. So have his Seahawks.
The former Super Bowl MVP held out of the New England Patriots’ minicamp in June 2006, then all of training camp. He racked up almost $600,000 in fines from the team until his forced trade to Seattle in early September of that year.
That deal cost the Seahawks a first-round draft choice, plus a $39 million contract with $13 million guaranteed. Branch has since had seasons with 53, 49 and now just 13 receptions. He’s also had a badly sprained foot and a strained calf that cost him five games in 2007. Then he blew out his knee in last January’s playoff loss at Green Bay.
He didn’t return until October, then played one half before bruising his heel. He missed five more games in a long lost season for the Seahawks (2-10), who have the lowest-ranked passing offense in the league.
