Branch, Seymour, Watson, and Meriweather.
Technically Samuel isn't a hold out because he is not under contract, but there has still been more than two holdouts in Belichick's career here.

Honestly,
Just my opinion, but I think the Pats will primarily work him at free safety and move Wilson back to his natural corner position.

Meriweather details
Posted by Albert Breer at 7:49 pm
While we’re still working on some of the specifics, we’ve got some details to pass along on the five-year pact struck by the Patriots and first-round pick Brandon Meriweather.
According to multiple league sources, the deal is worth $8.75 million with $2.75 in escalators. That would put Meriweather at a maximum value about $11.5 million over five.
Last year’s 24th overall selection, Bengals corner Jonathan Joseph, received a max-value of $10.7 over five. So on those numbers, Meriweather reaped a 7.5 percent inflation rate.
On August 7th Mike Reiss reported in the Boston Globe that the "contract signed by rookie Meriweather is a five-year package that includes a $500,000 signing bonus, $755,000 roster bonus in 2007, and a $3.72 million option bonus in 2008...In addition, there are $150,000 workout bonuses each season from 2009-11"
