The Patriots offense was missing some spark last week against the Cardinals, and Pats fans are hoping that a new face and an old face can jolt some life into Tom Brady's receiving corps.

After an injury to tight end Aaron Hernandez, the Pats went out and signed Kellen Winslow. As if adding the skilled tight end wasn't enough, the team also signed wide receiver Deion Branch this week, giving Brady yet another reliable target.

Winslow, who had 75 receptions last season in Tampa Bay, has 437 career catches and 23 touchdowns since entering the league in 2004 with the Browns. The sixth overall pick in 2004 out of Miami has nearly 5,000 receiving yards to his resume.

Branch, who will be joining the Pats after being let go during final cuts prior to Week 1, has spent six years in New England. The wide receiver has 502 receptions and 39 touchdowns to his name.
