While the country was watching Randy Moss play his first game since leaving the Patriots, his old team was busy working on a deal to bring in his replacement: New England traded to reacquire Deion Branch Monday night, sending a fourth-round pick to Seattle in return (whichever of the Patriots' two fourth-rounders is highest).
According to the Globe's Shalise Manza Young, the deal will become official Tuesday, assuming Branch passes his physical. His agent told the AP that Branch is "excited as can be."
