And it isn't brought up much, but Branch has proved (thus far) to be undeserving of the money. Sure, the Pats would have been better with him, but Reche Caldwell actually had a better season, statistically. I'm very happy to see that money tied up elsewhere.
Also, the Pats have traditionally been middle-of-the-pack in the NFL in terms of payroll/room under cap. People talk like they're the Montreal Expos or something.
