FOXBORO - Jason Chayut, the agent for Deion Branch, said yesterday he believes the Patriots will fine the wide receiver the maximum amount allowed by the league for players who fail to report. That's $14,000 per day.

Chayut said he hasn't received a bill yet (that's not the way it works apparently). Nor has their been any movement on a deal getting done.

If the Pats are charging full freight, Branch is up to $90,000 in fines already.
