Brady squarely on Branch's side

FOXBORO - Tom Brady flaps his gums to Sports Illustrated about the import of Deion Branch getting signed.

Silver says the Pats offer is $19 million over three years.

"I hope he's here another 5-7 years," Brady said, "but that's not up to me. The player-club dynamic has changed so much over the years. I know that Deion's the best guy in the world to have around; I also know that Coach Belichick and [vice president of player personnel] Scott Pioli are very disciplined, and the decisions they make are very black-and-white.

"I have a lot of confidence that this is going to get worked out, I really do. But I'm glad we're not playing a game this week."
