Doug Gabriel, a fantastic young wide receiver from Oakland, was acquired Saturday for an undisclosed draft pick.
Gabriel more than replaces Deion Branch. He should prove much more productive.
Branch still remains a Patriot as of this moment, although word is that there are renewed talks with the Seahawks -- from whom the Patriots are asking for a first round draft pick and a middle round draft pick for Branch. Unless the asking price comes down, a lot, nothing is going to get done there.
Belichick still has the option of cutting Branch, for a couple more hours.
