I think a lot of people will be disappointed in what Branch will be. He is not going to make a huge impact, he will make an impact, but not a huge one. He is getting up their in age and has been battling injuries his entire career. He isnt Moss' replacement, he cant do the things Moss does. What he is, is a veteran WR that knows the Pats system and will probably be the #2/3 WR on the team. He was one of Brady's favorate targets back when he was on the team, so I am sure Brady is happy. I think the team is getting back to the SB days with 4 solid WRs and no super stars, back to when Brady spreads the ball around to WRs/TEs/RBs. It will be interesting to see how it all works out because unlike the SB years, the team doesnt have an experienced proven defense to win games for them

If Branch can be even half of what he was before for us then he's worth a 4th.
From what I've seen, he still has something left in the tank. This would be a great deal if we didn't have to give up a 4th. It seems a little steep, but we need receiver help and there's nobody better suited to help out than Deion.
People will be disappointed in Branch when he turns out to be exactly what we expected him to be?
You don't say.
Are you guys seriously saying a 4th is way too pricey? If you compare it to what we got for Moss then fine, but Seattle had the bargaining chip here, and let's take a look at our history drafting WR's... it's abysmal. If Branch can be even half of what he was before for us then he's worth a 4th.
People think he is going to be Moss' replacement and be that big playmaker that Moss was

The Seahawks held the Patriots up with this deal. A fourth round choice was too much to give up for the 2010 version of Deion Branch. The only way this makes sense is if the Pat's don't have to take the majority of his contract.
Exactly what role is Branch going to fill for the Patriots?
