    This was on today’s ESPN Rumor Central.

    Jones-Branch swap on horizon?
    Thomas Jones | Jets | Interested: Seahawks?
    In his latest edition of “Diner Morning News” on the National Football Post, Michael Lombardi dropped a bomb on both coasts. Within the piece, Lombardi posits that both the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks would benefit from a Thomas Jones-Deion Branch swap.
    Yowza. Even though the Jets do have one of the league’s more electrifying talents in Leon Washington (based on the assumption that they’ll be able to hurdle this current contract extension issue), it’s unlikely that they’d want to jettison Jones for such a small return. Although he’s turning 31 this summer, Jones is coming off a 1,312 yard season where he scored 13 rushing touchdowns, and added 207 yards and two touchdowns receiving. Branch, on the other hand, was hampered by injuries and played in just eight games in 2008, had just 412 yards and four touchdowns total, and never eclipsed the 100-yard mark in any game. Branch’s best season came back in 2005 for the New England Patriots, when he had 78 receptions for 998 yards and five touchdowns.

    In truth, Branch’s value might be magnified due to his exploits on the sport’s largest stage. Branch was the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIX after catching 11 passes for 133 yards, and he had a 10-catch, 143-yard performance in Super Bowl XXXVIII. But for a team that is trying to build up an offense capable of making the playoffs, it doesn’t seem to make sense to give up their leading rusher from the past two seasons to get a receiver that may not be healthy enough to contribute as the No. 1 receiver they so desperately need.
