The New England Patriots on Friday rejected trade proposals for holdout wide receiver Deion Branch, leaving the sides at a stalemate as teams prepare for their season openers next week.

In fact, the parties' stances might have grown more contentious Friday, with sources confirming that Branch and agent Jason Chayut have filed a grievance against the Patriots through the NFL Players Association. In the grievance, filed after the 4 p.m. Friday deadline passed without a trade, Branch is seeking an expeditious hearing in front of a "special master" arbitrator.

I think that's what the Patriots had in mind all along, they knew no one was gonna take that bait. so Branch is gonna stay and sit out {maybe**.

I dont think anyone is worth 2 first rounders, thats a sacrifice. I'll tell you what Branch is worth, 7 months when he becomes a free agent.

The most intresting part is the pats FO never asked for 2 first rounders .It was started as FO might except 2 first rounders in articles and somehow somewhere it changed to them saying it.

Yesterday the FO said they have a high pick and low pick but then again it was on a article till now they have not said what they are looking for explicitly.
