I'm not saying pick him up. I just find it interesting that the guy we traded up to draft is becoming a journeyman.

The highest rated player in his draft class is bouncing around the league. Mo is just one of the many examples of what a crapshoot the draft is especially in the top 10. The 2012 draft saw one of the worst tops 10's in years with 6 players going bust. You had RG3, Trent Richardson, Justin Blackmon, Claiborne and Mark Barron go bust. Luke Kuechly one of the best players in years was the 9th pick.

As I NYer I watched him play as a Jet. Call me crazy but he has gotten better. Solid but not spectacular CB. He still is a china doll so not worth the risk but he has done a nice job extending his career. Someone will sign him.

It absolutely is a crap shoot. I keep hoping that RG3 will bounce back and have a great career because I like him as a person. He's a good guy. I just don't think it will happen. If I thought he would bounce back and be great, I would be all for the Cowboys acquiring him. I don't think Claiborne is a crappy player. He's just not worth what we gave to get him.

I agree. Was he a bust as a high #1 yep!!!! However if he can on a reasonable contract I think it would be a good pickup. My biggest issue with him has been the injuries that kept him off the field

Jerry said he was the next Deion Sanders........

There were several that compared him to Deion which I could never understand with Mo running a 4.57 40. That had to be the slowest 40 time ever for what was considered the best corner in the draft.

Morris may have played his last game in the NFL. Only makes a team as a backup to the backup if primary RB gets hurt.

The ship sailed awhile ago on RG3. Cleveland gave him a shot and things didn't work out. He'll never be more than a career backup. As for Mo he had injuries from day one and was never consistent. He never had the speed and plays not to get beat.

Or draft a CB in 2nd or 3rd round. I wouldn’t mind him back, but I don’t know about carrying 6 CBs on the roster this year.

I'm guessing he ends up back with Todd Bowles in Tampa.

I have to wonder what Kris Richard might think of him?
