Patriots do not stand pat, trade for Branch from Seattle.
Per Schefter's twitter.

Filed to ESPN: Seattle traded WR Deion Branch to New England for a fourth-round pick. Bet Tom Brady is happy.
Now, obviously there was no way in heck Seattle would have traded him to us, but that gives you an idea about what a decent veteran wideout would go for.
Personally, I'm very much in favor of dumping the 4th for a player like Branch, even if its a rental. Once you get past the 3rd round Devaney blows his picks on long shots anyway, so the loss of one of those isn't a crippling disaster.

I agree with the thought of trading a 4th for a player with proven skill.... but for the record every player 4th round and on are long shots.
