I hear you. is this Branch's last yr? I am a huge fan of Branch's, but my biggest knock on the guy is his injury history.


I would love for Ocho to be a dependable WR. Do you think solid chemistry is possible w/ 85 and TFB? Branch and TFB are electric, but Branch's injured past works against him. How much longer does Branch have in the league do you think?

Edelman has 8 rec in he's last 17 games, Price has yet to be active and Ochocinco the few times that he is on the field is not geting open so with that said i think the pats will re-sign both Welker and Branch

WR is probably the deepest part of the Pats Offense....not to discount the RB situation...Ridley has looked good early and Vereen still has to show what he can do....good position to be in....Faulk is Pup for now, but could be shadow roster guy if a season ending injury occurs to the other 4 RB's.......

What do you guys think about Re-Signing Law Firm?


With Ridley, Woodhead, and Vereen..... it might not be likely if he wants big money. Someone else will be willing to pay him more.

Branch has the magic touch here, I think it would be a big mistake to get rid of him. (unless he's hurt)

Welker has actually caught more passes from Brady in 3 full seasons, than Branch did in 4.
Between Ocho and Branch, I believe was the question.

I dont know how long he will want to play or last without injury, but the guy just loves playing with Brady. You can see his passion in his pressers. All the guy talks about is the chemistry Brady and him have. Ocho, I dont know. Do you take a chance on an unproven guy (who BTW is no spring chicken) or the guy who's been performing, albiet, nothing extraordinary. I like Ocho, but if I had to choose, Branch, hands down! Welker, no brainer, resign him Edit: BTW, the way they've had injuries lately, I think Branch has been holding up pretty well! Knock on wood!

Cool Re: Re-sign Welker AND Branch?

Welker - He is still going strong and he succeeds because he reads defenses as brady thinks he should. He was never the fastest or tallest guy with raw talent. His capacity is mental and being 31 he will be resigned . Now you need to give him some money as KC , Jets ,Rams will be very interested.At 31 and 2 yrs from injury he will get some offer.Also, asking edelman and herandez to replace his production is hard as they seem to be dinged up all the time.He is the healthy and still got some legs.

Branch - Resigned for cheap , we just do not have anyone else and last week he had a 100+ yd game. So as long he contributes and has a few good games sign him.He will be cheaper and give you the 3rd option.

***Future find 1 outside guy.

Law firm- I think absence of vareen and ridley already has been believe he will be signed this year using the 10 million cap we still have. You need 4 RB anyway and i have yet to see vareen and ridley .ridley already fumbling the ball kind of helps law firm. We have looked for a good runner for a few years and it will be dumb to let him go hoping we can find another in a few yrs.
