Signed by Cowboys Morris signs 2-yr deal with Cowboys

[AKATheRake]

I think this was a good move for the cowboys. I think he may be better than some think.

I agree, different type of back than DMC but better than most think like DMC was last year.

3 headed monster with a fresh legged rookie would be nice.

We have to run the ball this season and I like Arizona's approach to the position last year.

Really happy with this signing. I think it's going to be a solid one two punch between McFadden and Morris. I like this FAR better than the Randle/McFadden duo.

Love it Morris has had 1,000 plus yards in 3/4 of his seasons in the NFL. There's obviously something there and he's not just another body to throw into the rotation. My concern is that he needs an RG3 type QB running the option to be most effective. Hopefully all he needs is the best O-line in football. Best thing about Morris is that he hasn't missed a game in his NFL career. Played all 16 games in his first 4 years. But I think him and DeMarco are actually similar players and Morris could have similar success if given the touches.

I did really want Zeke though but the pick now has to be a stud on defense like Ramsey, Bosa or Jack. Whatever we do... please no QB at 4.

Definitely. Won't happen, but definitely. That trio reeks of settling. Which is the new Cowboy way. (Go Cowboys!, btw)

They need the vet leadership for Wentz....go Cowboys...

The kid from LSU, can't recall his name, Fournette, or something like that.

Gonna need a top 10 pick for Fournette and he can't come out until next year.

Yep. Watch the guy run... lot's of similarities between he and Murray.

And I think this is a smart move on his behalf, knowing what playing in this offense did for Murray. If he averages in the 4.5 range for two years, he will still be young enough at 29 to at least get a Matt Forte-type deal.

106.7 the fan is not happy about this news lol.

Good!

Yuck. This definitely means no Zeke

You know what, I was watching Zeke last night and I am not seeing anything close to a superstar. At all....his explosion is just not there and I see nice back not special. I would have been happy with a guy like Zeke in the 2nd but not at the 4th pick....

JMO though!

 

[Risen Star]

Good!

Yeah screw the people who don't tell you ahead of time that no matter what the Cowboys do they'll support it.

Screw those think for themselves, have some credibility type people.

He's a really good dude. You guys are going to like him in the locker room. Not sure why he fell off last year. But he has plenty in the tank. He's not a pass catcher and still needs to work on his pass blocking. But as a runner when the D needs to worry about the QB too. He's solid. Congrats.

Well we have tried to address the defensive line...
We have tried to address the secondary
We have tried to address the running back situation.

The only position we haven't made much of an attempt to upgrade is backup QB

I changed my post... "screw them" was a bit harsh.

Mid to late first talent, don't let anyone here try to convince you he is top 5 potential.

I honestly don't care about how good a "dude" he is. It's meaningless.

 

[Risen Star]

We will definitely be a better short yardage team with Morris. I mean that is a lock, considering our two other running backs.

 

[sideon]

Well there goes Derric Henry or Zeke down the drain!

I can hear it now, "we think we are fine here at RB"!

Derrick Henry probably has more miles on him than Morris

1st round it will be addressed.

Two years? I want to see the money.

Was it meaningless with Randle? Yeah, it does "mean" something.
