The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Deion Branch had another left knee operation during this offseason but this time the recovery time seems to be much shorter and Branch recently told reporters that he planned to take part in the team’s final minicamp this weekend.
“I feel good. Last year (I) did the same thing, and had it cleaned out,” Branch said on Wednesday after Seattle wrapped up its minicamp. “This year was probably a little lighter, not as intense as last year’s surgery. It’s just a normal clean out, nothing major. It’s nothing that nobody is worried about.”
Having the same surgery on the same leg with Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre, Branch said that he was confident that the quarterback in No.4 Favre jersey would also return for 2010 season with the Vikings. He regretted for having no chance to receive ball from Favre, but he would like to match him on field in NFC championship game to fight for the pass to Super Bowl XLV.

Brett Favre aims at coaching job
The Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre has not made his decision on whether to return to play football for 2010 season, and he is even still uncertain whether he will undergo the surgery to repair his injured ankle. However, someone familiar with the quarterback said that Favre actually wants to work with an NFL team as a coaching member instead of a player.
As a nineteen-year veteran quarterback, Favre does have the qualification to work somewhere as a quarterback coach. Just as Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin said the other day, Favre was always a great playmaker and signal callers while playing in a real-time game and his influence on other players was sometimes even bigger than the offensive coordinator’s. With nineteen years of experience in playing and learning of football, Favre is surely a very competitive candidate if any team is in want of a quarterback coach or offensive coordinator and receives Favre’s application form.
So if Favre’s real intention is to work as a coach, his hesitation to wear back his Favre jersey now seems much more reasonable. At age 40, recovering from an ankle surgery may take too long for him to appear in time for the regular season, and even if he is anyway fully recovered, his old body could hardly bear more heavy attacks from younger players of opponent teams. By comparison, staying with his beloved ball but in a safer place would be a wise choice for Favre.
