NFL Looks To Combine Branch's Grievances
6th September, 2006 - 3:06 pm
Boston Herald - According to one of Deion Branch?s attorneys, Jeffrey Kessler, the NFL filed a motion yesterday to combine Branch?s two grievances into a single one to be heard at one sitting. If the NFL wins the motion, which should be decided today, that combined grievance will be heard Sept. 14 and 15.

Kessler revealed that if Branch loses both grievances, he will seek damages (through arbitration) against the Patriots for extra compensation this year. Kessler said Branch will seek to be paid the difference between what the Pats are scheduled to pay him this season (just over $1 million, minus fines) and the first-year money being offered by Seattle and the New York Jets, deals that guarantee Branch $13 million in bonuses.
