Indianapolis-colts-new
Tom E. Curran of CSNNE reports that the New England Patriots have released WR Deion Branch and CB Malcolm Williams, for the second time this year. Both players were cut to make room for CB Aqib Talib and WR Greg Salas. Aquib was acquired a few weeks ago, however the team was forced to place him to the reserve/suspended list while he completed his four game suspension. This is the second time this season that Branch has been released and it’s not surprising when you consider that he has produced only 9 catches for 80 yards in seven games.
