Deion Branch helped offset the $600,000 in fines for his holdout in New England by signing a $39 million, six-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday. Branch missed the entire preseason with the Patriots before he was traded to Seattle on Monday for a 2007 first-round draft pick. Branch will receive $13 million in bonus and guarantees, according to a person in the league close to the negotiations who requested anonymity because the terms had not yet been announced. About $23 million is due to Branch in the first three years of the deal.
