Impending free agent Deion Branch hopes to retire a Patriot. "This is where I want to be, this is where I want to retire," Branch said following the Patriots' Super Bowl loss. Branch averaged just 48.6 receiving yards per game in 2011, and scored only one touchdown after Week 10. With the Pats in need of a true downfield threat at receiver, re-signing a soon-to-be 33-year-old Branch is unlikely to be a priority.
