Deion Branch gone

The Seattle Seahawks finally did something right for once in their team history and that was to trade Deion Branch back to New England where he first came from. The past four years I have been saying why Seattle why give a guy that kind of a contract. Answer is this was a Tim Ruskell move. Well we as Seahawks fans can say the Ruskell era is finally over with Branch gone. The Hawks gave up a first round pick for this injury prone guy that didn't even see the field half the time he was here. Business is business but when you pay a person to do nothing but catch footballs you would expect that person to show up every Sunday to play and not be a cheerleader in street clothes. With this move it allows Deon Butler to start and get experience playing in the league. The Hawks can have a very good receiving core if everybody stays healthy and catch balls coming their way. I remember saying to a friend of my when the Hawks traded for Branch, I told him they will regret it because this dude was coming off a Super Bowl MVP victory and it was his contract year so Branch wanted to get paid and he did by forcing his way out of New England because the Patriots were not going to give him a long term deal. With the Patriots dealing Randy Moss back to Minnesota this move paved way for Branch being out of Seattle. Good bye Deion Branch hello new receivers. Now step it up or you might be the next one out the door to a new team or the unemployment line.
