 Brady goes out on limb for Branch - The Boston Globe
He made it clear to Sports Illustrated's Michael Silver that he is far from pleased about the conditions that have led to the holdout of his team's No. 1 receiver, and he laid the blame not at the feet of his teammate.
What he heard back, and made public yesterday, seemed to bolster Branch's case that the club's three-year, $19 million offer undervalued him enough to compel him to accept a $14,000-a-day fine for withholding his services despite having a year remaining on a five-year-old rookie contract that was due to pay him $1,045,000.
Even that figure is skewed, however, because nearly half of it ($500,000) was a result of Branch hitting certain incentives last season, when he had a career-best 998 receiving yards to lead the team.
