Branch re-signs with New England-- Thu Mar 22 3:35 pm -- One-year deal
The New England Patriots reached agreement Thursday on a one-year deal with receiver Deion Branch, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The Patriots have added to an already talented receiver group this offseason, reaching deals with Brandon Lloyd, Anthony Gonzalez and Donte' Stallworth.(ESPN)
FF Today's Take:This all but spells the end for Chad Ochocinco in New England and Branch is destined to be a #4 or #5 option given the signing of Brandon Lloyd. Branch's knowledge of the offense is allowing him to hang around for one more year but he should go undrafted in the majority of fantasy leagues this summer.
Patriots add WR Brandon Lloyd-- Sat Mar 17 8:40 pm -- Reunited with Josh McDaniels
Brandon Lloyd finally has his wish: tonight he and the Patriots finalized the terms of a contract that will bring the receiver to New England, a league source confirmed. The 30-year old Lloyd made no secret of the fact that he wanted to play for the Patriots, where he would be reunited with Josh McDaniels. Over the last couple of years, Lloyd has had success playing for McDaniels, first in Denver and then with the Rams.(Boston Globe)
FF Today's Take:The deal is reportedly for three years and $12 million. Lloyd's transition into the Patriots offense should be a smooth one as he's very familiar with Josh McDaniels and his offensive system. Lloyd's signing could also mean Chad Ochocinco and/or Deion Branch are on their way out of New England.
Pats urge Ochocinco to alter deal-- Wed Feb 29 5:30 pm -- A sign that New Endland wants to keep the veteran WR
Chad Ochocinco, who accomplished very little in 2011 with the New England Patriots, will have the opportunity to continue being a New England Patriot ‒ as long as he's willing to do it for less money. Liz Mullen of the Sports Business Journal reports that the Patriots would like Chad to restructure his contract. For each of the next two seasons, Chad has a base salary of $3 million with a salary cap hit of $6.2 million. That's probably a little out of line for a guy who caught all of 15 passes last year. It's not hard to see the silver lining here, though. At least the Patriots do want him back, even if it is at a reduced rate.(Yahoo Sports)
FF Today's Take:A mere shade of the elusive receiver he was in the mid-2000s when he put together five straight 1200 yard seasons, the Patriots still see some value in the aging veteran. Those of you playing fantasy football on the other hand, should not.
