Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Patriots contend that they gave Branch permission to discuss only terms of a contract and not what a team would offer the Patriots in trade. Local reports say the Pats believe New York told Branch what they would offer. ... The tampering charge comes as the Patriots prepare to meet the Jets this weekend. The head coach of the Jets, Eric Mangini, was the Patriots defensive coordinator last year.
