Raiders plan on keeping Tyvon Branch

Found February 11, 2012 on Pro Football Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Tyvon Branch,  Len Pasquarelli,  Michael Bush
TEAMS: Oakland Raiders

75
According to Len Pasquarelli of Yahoo Sports, the Oakland Raiders will attempt to retain safety Tyvon Branch as they continue to re-shuffle their roster this offseason. Branch will be a free agent on March 13th and the Raiders would ultimately like to get a long-term deal worked out.  If that can’t happen they will probably slap him with the franchise tag. The best cse scenario for the Raiders would be to get a long-term deal done with Branch, because that would enable them to use the franchise tag on running back Michael Bush.

Teams inquiring about Dwight Freeney

Via Pro Football Zone  |  February 11, 2012
According to Len Pasquarelli of Yahoo Sports, a lot of teams have contacted the Indianapolis Colts about a possible trade for defensive end Dwight Freeney. Freeney is still under contract with the Colts, but with them switching to a 3-4 as they re-build, it doesn’t make sense for them to keep him around.
