"The Seahawks have a bye this weekend, the players given four days off before returning on Monday.
That doesn't mean the team is idle, though. Not with the Seahawks being one of the most active teams in the league in terms of roster moves.
One possibility to keep an eye on is that wide receiver Deion Branch would be traded to New England, the team from whom Seattle acquired him in 2006.
It's premature to say a trade is on the table, but discussions had taken place as of Wednesday night. By Thursday, the possibility of a deal was mentioned both in Seattle and in New England.
The Patriots traded Randy Moss to Minnesota earlier this week. Branch remains a local favorite in Boston, and quarterback Tom Brady is especially fond of him."
