Well I just waived him. I needed to get a legal roster together (still without a kicker) and this saga is going to drag on even longer.
I am stacked at WR with Steve Smith, Roy Williams, TJ Housh, Mike Clayton, and Kennison. We only start 2 WR's.
David Givens, B. Lloyd, and Troy Williamson are on our waiver wire, so there is really no trade value, so I finally pulled the plug on this move that needed to be made. FWIW, I used a 9th round pick on Branch. I wish I could have held him or gotten something of value for him.
Players I did not cut instead of Branch were Jarious Norwood and Vernand Morency.
