We don't need any receivers. We need cohesion, chemistry and execution.

they took care of seymour, and the DONT have a lot of money invested in brady (he's got a VERY team friendly deal... and he volunteered to give money back). branch is NOT going to the 49ers. he's talked to the broncos and the eagles. It's clear that he wants to be on a winner.
as far as value, i'm not sure he's worth $6mill a year... that's reggie wayne money and his stats just aren't very good when compared.
santana has better numbers and he's only making $4.5mill a year.
I do agree that there's no way we'd even think about this and the pats would laugh at us if we tried to trade patten straight up. branch is obviously a better player, but you can't get every free agent and starters 5 deep at every position... unless you're playing madden.
