Mike Florio asks whether Deion Branch may be forced to restructure his contract (aka, take a fat pay cut), an interesting possibility that not too many others have been talking about lately (though, some handsome fella' put the odds of a restructure at 50% back in February).
Branch certainly hears the talks that he may be cut or traded. He likely knows that he wouldn't command near $5 million on the open market, especially once the 53-man squads are set. If he wants to stay in Seattle, he may well be willing to take a 25-50% pay cut, potentially more with some incentive clauses thrown in (50 catches = $1MM bonus or some such).
Florio suggests that the number of WRs kept (5-7) will likely play a role in the pressure they put on Branch, but in reality that makes little sense. Who restructures a deal after the guy has already made the 53? That's some good old fashioned Florio-talk if ya ask me...
