Schefter: Branch to New England for 4th round pick

[The Dynasty]

Love Branch, but a 4th rounder seems a little steep. Shows how desperate the Pats were for another veteran WR who knows the system and can make an immediate impact

 

[StraightCashHomey81]

So Laurence Maroney for Deion Branch? Not bad I guess. 4th kinda high. Welcome back Deion!

When you put it that way, I feel much better about the fourth rounder.

 

[BigMike]

kind of looks that way.......a 5th or 6th would be more like it

 

[convertedpatsfan]

Welcome back Deion. A 4th is a bit steep, but considering next year's draft is supposed to be top-heavy, probably not a huge deal.

 

[Christopher Patriot]

A 4th seems high but Brady plus Branch = Superbowl?

 

[emoney_33]

Does he have a new agent? Or is he going to hold out the next time he steals a superbowl MVP from Brady?

 

[Hart Lee Chung]

They overpaid...but I'm sure Brady wanted him...at this point, you keep your HOF QB happy and enjoy the run. If you have the cash (picks), you can pay the price.

Calm down, we werent even throwing Super Bowl around with Moss

 

[Fixit]

I like it. If he has anything left, I'll pretend he wasn't a douche when he left.

Nah he needs to return that trophy to Rodney Harrison.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Never should have let him go in the first place...

Nice move,Bradys favorite guy of his Career to throw to although he would never admit it

I hope Branch is the Ladanian of WRs for this team,I assume is #2 receiver now

 

[PaulNEPats]

ehhh better than no move, but I hope people arent expecting the branch of old at this point in time

 

[Dufflebagz]

I just remembered that Branch jersey that's been in the back of my closet for several years...hope it fits

 

[mgcolby]

Right, because he sure made BB look stupid with his play up in the great Northwest.

 

[stcjones]

Per his twitter account....

If this is true....it is another waste of a pick...

 

[BigMike]

Branch = Welker? Just older.....

will Welker give up his 83? Oh the drama for the ink stained wretches...

 

[Bella*chick]

I like it. If he has anything left, I'll pretend he wasn't a douche when he left.

You just did an admirable job summing up my feelings.

 

[Fixit]

If this is true....it is another waste of a pick...

Yeah, he hasn't even caught a ball yet, that lazy bastard.

 

[ausbacker]

The receiver process has gone full circle in the past week. Moss is back where he belongs and Branch is back where he belongs.

Let's see how it all works out.

 

[BigMike]

RIght because Reche Caldwell played so great for us dropping that key pass in the AFCCG....would we have won another SB with Branch on the team? I think yes.
