FOXSports.com's John Czarnecki reports that the Seahawks will likely cut Branch after this season. |
| Analysis: |
Such a move shouldn't surprise many, as Branch cost Seattle a first-round pick and carries a big contract but hasn't produced like the No. 1 receiver the Seahawks apparently thought they were getting. Outside of his Super Bowl MVP performance, Branch has never really shown that potential. He's an option only in deep fantasy leagues the rest of this year. (SportsBuff.com) |
