FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Patriots ended the holdout of receiver Deion Branch on Monday by trading him to the Seattle Seahawks for a draft pick.
Branch was entering the last season of the five-year contract he signed as a rookie. He held out of the mandatory minicamp in June and all of training camp. He has been subject to a $14,000 fine for each day he holds out from July 28, the start of training camp.
Branch’s agent, Jason Chayut, did not immediately return calls, and there was no immediate announcement of what round draft pick the Patriots will receive.
