Andre Branch effectively tripled his salary this week. So what’s next?

Well, he’s into fashion and is a foodie, so Branch is going to buy some new clothes and eat out a bit more.

But most importantly, he’s going to take care of his mom, Paulette Battle.

“I'm living a good life already,” Branch said. “This contract was for my mother.”

Branch had “quite a few” teams after him in free agency, but agreed to remain in Miami on a three-year, $24 million deal because he felt home here.

The Dolphins have a family atmosphere he hadn’t experienced since his days at Clemson, Branch said.
