Deion Branch wants to keep playing in 2012 and hopes that he does so with the Patriots.
The 11-year veteran is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on March 13.
"This is where I want to be, this is where I want to retire," Branch said. "This is why I came back, for the opportunity to play in this game. I'm pretty sure I will be here in this position next year."
Branch spent a few years with the Seahawks inbetween his tenures in New England.
