Goodbye to dancing bear Branch aka Uncle Phil

[long distance]

Looks like Uncle Phil's time @Foxborough is indeed over.
Despite all the injuries and mishaps at DE . just a touch of 2016 Branch could be good enough for SBLII. He danced greatly through 2016 though..

Good news travels fast...
Kenny Britt Coming Back & Branch Out

 

[holyredeemer]

Disappointed in the sudden downfall of Branch. That, along with the surprise retirement of Nink sure as hell didn’t help things with the line last year. As far as Britt, my feeling is “Meh.” Obviously I’m hoping for a career resurrecting performance from him, but I haven’t seen anything to make me feel like that’s gonna happen here. He is a really great insurance policy though and has gotta be better than turning to some rookie UDFA. Oh, and he’s pretty damn cheap, which is great!

Now who will throw out Jazz?

Disappointed in the sudden downfall of Branch...

Disappointed yes, surprised no...his lack of conditioning/motivation has been an issue
throughout his now-ended career.
Bill needs to get serious and find a real starting-caliber DT to pair with Malcolm Brown,
through free agency and/or the draft and/or post-draft.

Branch was more useful than not in the Patriot's legacy ... good luck to him in the next phases of his life.

Disappointed, but not surprised. Look at his two year performance and we got a bargain. Big shoes [ha ha ] to fill, but he was a underachiever to start. thanks for the couple years you played to potential.

 

[RayClay]

Replacing anywhere close to his two year effort plus physical potential will be difficult/expensive.

Went from a branch to a twig last year, too bad, he's a monster when he's on.

Way to do it @long distance .

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Way to do it @long distance .

Poe!
One can hope.

 

[Tony2046]

Poe!
One can hope.

I've thought about that. If Poe gets a deal does he stay motivated? He's had weight clauses added to his contract in the past but that could mean nothing. But yeah he's a stud.

 

[jah]

As previously mentioned here, Poe is a good option but I think he'll be too much money. Also, Lotulelei? A solid starter is all we can ask for.

 

[PatsFan2]

So just like Uncle Phil... Branch is dead to them.

 

[Hyped]

Thanks for your time here, Branch. Much appreciated....hope you land somewhere else.
