The Facts:
It’s been a common question. If Branch wins his grievance, why would he be traded to the Jets and not the Seahawks, since both teams offered him the same contract (6 years, $39 million, $13 million signing bonus) and both seem willing to give up a second round pick to get him? It turns out that only the Jets have officially offered the Patriots a pick.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Herald staffer John Tomase, the Seahawks got in the game relatively late and while they're reportedly willing to surrender a second-round pick for Branch, they never actually offered one. Less clear is whether the Hawks would give up a first round pick. While Branch was a second-round pick himself, the Seahawks recognize that he has played beyond his draft position.
