Curran: Pats may add familiar receiver

[TBradyOwnsYou]

That dirty Moss, being the best deep threat in the game and coming to the end of his contract wanting a new contract!
Let's ditch him on the cheap and then replace him with BRANCH, Mr. I can't even finish my rookie contract without holding out and forcing the Pats to dump me, only now I'm way older and not even good enough to tie Moss's cleats...
Ya, that sounds fun!

Do you suppose the Krafts will want a public apology from him before they sign him? ;-}

 

[Aßßynormal]

The logical guy is a vet, who knows the system, and who can lend stabilizing leadership, for this year only. My guess, to replace FHOF Moss is ... FHOF Tory Holt.

He was released from the IR on an injury settlement. We can't sign him, IIRC.

I'm not so sure about that - he's not currently on our roster and therefore is a FA. You may be right, but I don't know for sure unless you've heard specifically otherwise. I think we've made that assumption, but I don't think anyone has said definitively.

News Flash fellow Pats fans: Deion Branch isn't that good.

31 isnt THAT old. moss is 33. Branch has had proven success playing with Brady, and they have great chemistry. if he stays healthy, im sure he'd be a great contributor. i'm all for it if it happens.

 

[Dfresh429]

Its gotta be Michael Timpson or Vincent Brisby, right?

 

[Froob]

Oh god yes please be branch, I know he's not as good anymore just would be fun having him back. Would keep Brady happy. Wonder how Givens knees are nowadays.

Again, what Branch did with Brady is irrelevant now. He can't run anymore. He's not healty right now, so there's no question on whether or not he can "stay healthy".

He is healthy and playing quite well actually and as I said earlier I doubt Pete Carroll will let him go.

 

[Leave No Doubt]

If he comes in I'd make him the 4th receiver behind Tate, Welker and Edelman.

3rd, 4th, that's really all he'd HAVE to be, I doubt BB believes he's the same Branch and I doubt BB believes he's getting a replacement for Moss but he knows Branch can still add a piece to the puzzle and contribute.

I hope it's true, I'd love to see him back.

I doubt it doesn't that basically defeat the purpose of IR? Maybe there's a set number of time or something though they have to wait to re-sign with same team.

I'd rather have TroyBrown come out of retirement than getting back DBranch.

DBranch has a HISTORY of health problems. Why even bother? He also is NOT in his prime anymore. AND, his salary for this year is $6million, and WILL be a free-agent after this year.

Just give Tate (and hopefully TaylorPrice) a chance to prove themselves.

NO DBranch!

Say hello to Doug Gabriel.

 

[Haley]

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't believe these rumors for a second. I really think we're sticking with the team we have.

 

[Tunescribe]

Curran has been wrong so many times, I have no faith in this.

 

[zipster9]

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't believe these rumors for a second. I really think we're sticking with the team we have.

It is a fact that Patriots had "conversations" with Seattle about Branch...

PLEASE have this be just "Nah Nah" talk...

 

[Leave No Doubt]

Say hello to Doug Gabriel.

exactly

 

[Steve102]

Say hello to Doug Gabriel.

Oh god. Next you all will be draggin' up Reche Caldwell or Bethel Johnson.

I hope there's nothing to this Branch thing. Let's stick with the youth movement and see where this ride goes.

 

[PatsChamp88]

I wouldn't oppose the move but that doesn't mean I agree with it

 

[Raymond]

I'm not at all excited about trading for Branch. If Seattle pays half his salary this year..........and we give them a sixth........and Brady really wants it...........

maybe he could help tutor the kids for 12 games.
