Even Brad Childress is smart enough to know that he wouldn't get 83 back.

Deion just finished a nice, happy presser where he thanked both Seattle and NE for his times there and the chance to return here. Said he and Bill never let it get personal when he left, he and Tom stayed in touch, he thought he might be back last season and when it didn't happen he finally sold his condo this summer after renting it "to Derrick Burgess for a couple of minutes" (laughs all around). Said he is onboard with doing something with his deal and his agent and the Pats are working on that. I imagine they will restructure and add a year. Said he hopes he plays Sunday but it is up to coach depending on what he shows the next couple of days in practice. Said he does feel like he's come home despite some changes (like Patriot place and new faces and new plays) and it was great to see guys like Faulk and Light as well as vets like Taylor and Gerard Warren in the locker room. When asked about his old number he said Welker deserves it for all he does and he took a higher number because he's taller...

Our current 83 woulda been the MVP of the most recent Superbowl had David Tyreehole did not have super glue on his helmet.


Our 83>the old 83

Speaking of new 83--how happy do you think he is to see the Patriots pay Deion his $5M+ salary? I haven't heard anything about the Patriots getting Branch to redo his contract, and he's owed over $11M for 2010 and 2011. Wes is making $1.9M this year. He can't be happy about this.

Branch expects to re-work contract - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston
he's re-working it, I wonder if they are giving Wes a new contract by end of the season though. My guess is maybe a 3-year 21mil?

No, but he'll get his extension soon enough.
