Cowboys want to trade Alfred Morris

[RS12]

If Mixon goes into free fall on draft day...............

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Creating cap room and a spot for Dunbar!

 

[Nightman]

go for it.......... if they can get a pick, awesome

 

[Aven8]

Maybe this is why this organization is so lousy with trades. They shop players that nobody in their right mind would give up anything for. They can just wait out until release.

Plus they telegraph everything. Do you ever here the Pats say they want to trade anyone?? Nope it just happens out of the blue and people are like what?!?

 

[Risen Star]

Man, we're getting even more picks after the Romo haul.

 

[cowboyblue22]

Alfred morris is done

 

[DandyDon52]

Morris was better than dunbar, I think JG just likes dunbar more, and something else besides on field play is the issue here.
Could be he said the wrong thing at some point.

 

[Nirvana]

Be lucky to get a 6 pack for him. Natty Lights.

 

[unionjack8]

it was a TERRIBLE move from day 1.

 

[Tabascocat]

Morris could be a productive back for someone but guys like him are everywhere; hence, he has no trade value.

The Cowboys don’t have to worry about who will be their starting running back next season, but they are apparently working out how they want to staff things behind Ezekiel Elliott.

Alfred Morris reportedly isn’t part of their desired mix. Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star Telegram reports that the team will try to trade their veteran backup because they believe he’s a bad fit for third-down work and spot duty.

Morris signed a two-year deal with Dallas last offseason and ran 69 times for 243 yards and two touchdowns. Morris was inactive for three of the team’s final four games as Darren McFadden returned from an elbow injury to join Lance Dunbar in the reserve ranks.

Playing sparingly last year after turning in a pedestrian 2015 season in Washington seems unlikely to generate a major trade market for Morris. Releasing him would leave $500,000 of dead money on the Dallas cap.

McFadden and Dunbar are set to become free agents. Hill reports that the Cowboys would like to hold onto Dunbar while McFadden said recently that he thinks the Cowboys want him back.

i don't get it. every time he got on the field, he ran hard and played well. not that i want him or anyone else out there much instead of zeke, but he's one of those "the coaches don't know how to use him right" guys.

He's not being traded. He will probably wait awhile to get a job if he's released.

3.5 YPC is bad for a change of pace back. Really bad. You need quickness and the ability to catch the ball...Morris has neither. He is a goal line threat at best but still Zeke is better at that by quite a bit.

of course zeke is better. but who thought alfred morris would be a change of pace back?!

I guess the coaching staff? They rolled him for awhile even when McFadden was healthy. They even thought enough of him to drop a rookie they were high on to keep him on the roster.

Morris just has no role here.

AMorris was a straight 2 down back-up insurance policy

He never caught the ball out of the backfield, never a 'change of pace'....... that was Dunbar

Too bad. I thought his signing would really benefit the Cowboys. He just never got going. Maybe, it was lack of work or he was a lot closer to the end than many people thought at the time.

Dunbar had 9 carries. That is not a change of pace back. He is hardly even a running back. 3rd down, passing situations only.

Morris played 2-3 series a game for a good part of the season and was the only other half besides Zeke that took off for the bulk of the year. He played at a "different pace" than Zeke and it worked early in the season.

what a time to try to trade an older rb. This years draft is one of the deepest for rb's that should be as good or better and cheaper
