Deion Branch has to wake up and realize he isn't a top receiver. He wasn't even in the top 15 of the league last year in receptions and receiving yards. Is he good? Yes, but don't confuse him with the elite. He has never had 1,000 receiving yards in a season or more than 5 receiving touchdowns in a season. Is that worthy of top receiver money? NO. Dexter Jackson was the SB MVP a few years ago, and so was Kurt Warner, does that mean they should be paid like the elite at their positions this year because of that title? Deion has yet to prove that he can be paid Reggie Wayne money. Richard Seymour deserved the money last summer because he IS one of the best at his position not because he THINKS he's one of the best at the postion. Richard Seymour is in the top 5 at his position and you could make a case for him being in the top 2. I can name 12-15 receivers better than Branch. When Branch realizes that he's living in fantasy land, then there will be no problem.
