Sure they have, at the top of the roster.
No, they haven't. Last I looked, the "TOP" of the roster includes guys like Wilfork, Hernandez, Gronkowski, Brady, Ridley, Hightower, Jones, Wilson, etc, etc. The only one who they might have made a decision on is Welker. That hardly constitutes them having an "ALL IN" year.
Funny, I saw, and read about, Branch getting open enough for Brady to make throws to him, and about him catching the ball. It seems to me that those are two qualities that this team used to like in their WRs. Has that changed?
Branch had 4 receptions in pre-season. 3 against the Eagles and 1 against the Buccaneers. The only pass that Branch caught from Brady was ONE against the Eagles. And it was late in the 2nd quarter and the Eagles had already had their 2s and 3s in on defense.
So, what things seem to you aren't what reality is. The reality is that Branch wasn't getting open the way you claim. It's why he was cut.
We don't know the story behind Gaffney. We do know, or should know, that the actions of the Dolphins are meaningless.
If other teams who need receiving help bring him and and they pass on him, then it's a good bet that there is a lingering issue. But you can keep making excuses all you want, Deus. Makes no difference to me. I'll go by what the Pats do and don't do.
