also...since they traded 2 draft picks, rather than just the one...
its beleived that the initial contract reports, will be less. I would imagine the contract would be similar to David Givens' contract w/ Tennessee, than Branch...and arguably Walker brings more to the table.
As for Branch (who is the best receiver EVER according to all Pats' nay sayers, haha) got a shit load of money from Seattle, in excess of $6 mill/season...lost a 1st round pick, and basically let Steve Hutchinson (best guard in league) go to free agency to sign receiver thats never been a top 15 receiver, LOL.
pfff...please dont bring Seattle's personel moves in a discussion about the Patriots' moves.
I LOVE IT!
