Alfred Morris: RB for hire?

[cardiackat88.]

"Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden recently assured Alfred Morris that the drafting of third-round bruiser Matt Jones won't affect the veteran running back's role this season.

If general manager Scot McCloughan's assessment is correct, though, Jones could displace Morris as soon as 2016."

Three straight 1,000+ yard seasons, all three seasons 4+ yds per carry. 26 years old entering last year of contract, not wanted by the 'skins as it seems.

Sound familiar? A Redskins RB undervalued and unappreciated? I would love to pick this guy up on the cheap.

even the foreskins FO can't be that stupid..........

 

 

PS........just how do you figure to "pick him up on the cheap" ???

[LinvilleGorge]

Smart move to bring in Jones and it's rare you can credit the foreskins with a smart move. Similar style back and if he pans out, they can let Morris walk and keep getting cheap production at RB. If he doesn't, they still have the option of paying Morris.

He'd get $5M per year on the open market. We could trade a late rounder for him but we'd still have to pay him after the year. Neither are great options.

It's hard to judge the value of a RB in the Shanahan offense, even though he didn't have the Shanahan offense last season. I mean, guys like Tatum Bell were racking up 100 yard games in that system. It's very RB friendly.

Why we he be cheap?
