1. Because they drafted him 2 rounds ahead of where he was projected to go and gave him an opportunity to play in the NFL.
2. Because they gave him the opportunity to play in 3 super bowls and win 2 championships.
3. Because they gave him the opportunity to build a career that allowed him to earn north of $45 million dollars over the past 12 years.
4. Because they brought him back and gave him a chance to end his career on a positive note when he was days from being out of the NFL completely in 2010.
5. Because they brought him back in 2012 even though he was clearly not capable of playing at a high level in order to have good bye tour.
I mean should I keep going, let me ask you this what has Branch done for the Patriots other than take and then do what is best for him even if it hurt the Patriots?
Well there's the small matter of 4,297 yards and 24 TD's.
