As someone who was once fined more than $600,000 by the Patriots over the course of a lengthy 2006 holdout, Deion Branch has more reason than most to theoretically agree with recent comments made by former New England linebacker Cassius Marsh about how the team treats its players “like crap.”
And yet, Branch — who played in New England for seven seasons across two separate stints — disagreed. While Marsh recently spoke at length on the 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast about why the Patriots’ methodology was “no fun,” Branch took a more nuanced line.
