Though his numbers again this season are not earth shattering, they are still respectable. With the man not playing every down, those stats become even better to see. His 3.5 sacks this season are only .5 off his career high from last year. Now in the prime of his career, I only see improvement in the future of Branch.

With Wake likely to only put in one more year of service and Mario Williams constantly hampered by injury, I am expecting big things out of Andre Branch. Pairing him and Wake along the defensive line give’s the Miami Dolphins two great pass rushers. If they can get the most out of each, we may be getting a glimpse into the future of the Dolphins D-line.

If we can afford him, he is a very nice complimentary passrusher
 
Where do you get Wake only putting in one more year of service? That's news to me.
 
He is a good signing and would look at bringing him back...

I still go pass Rushing in the draft, but having a rotation like they have been using has been beneficial this season...

That didn't make much sense....Wake looks 29 out there...freak human who takes better care of himself then almost anyone in the NFL...
 
hes playing for the highest bidder this year.. id bring him back on a solid deal but if he wants more than hes worth he will walk. I think we need to draft pass rusher early honestly. Wake is only going to be older, Mario is pretty much washed. Branch is solid but may not be here. Dion Jordan can fill as depth, but if Branch walks we will need a legit starter.
 
Depending on how the rest of the season goes, he'll probably end up with 6-8 sacks in limited time. OV money? Probably not...but he's gonna get around 10M per.
 
I have seen Wake and Williams doing damage as well. That D-line is no joke. Best D-line since the Taylor, Bowens, and Armstrong era.
 
Branch has been every bit as impressive as Wake over the past few games imo.

He's taking on left tackles every time and just piledriving them back into the QB, or abusing them on the outside. His run D is the best of our DEs also. It didn't look like it early on, but he's been a very good signing.

Definitely a guy to retain if you can. He won't attract Vernon type money despite being more rounded. We absolutely should look at DE in round 1 but I don't think that decision should be affected by a resign of Branch. Wake may be half Wolverine but he isn't the Highlander. Williams is out of here as soon as the cap allows with that contract. Fede is meh.

Branch is a keeper.

That's the problem - as Vance Joseph said, Branch is playing for a paycheck now - next year's paycheck. If he keeps his current form, he'll command some big $.

I have to admit though, Branch has been very much an unsung hero. He is getting pressure off the right side (on the LT) every bit as good as OV did. Really impressed.
 
wake is still the man. sack master. no rookie going take his spot within next 3year.
 
He was a free agent last off-season and was very cheap. He has upped his game, but without gaudy sack number I think his long term contract would be reasonable despite the fact that we will be bidding against the open market for his services.

Almost every time I see Suh collapse the pocket it seems like Branch isn't far behind.
