I think he's worth a look.

He would be a valuable KR/PR as well as another option at RB. Anyone else?

He was cut due to injury problems, no?

Interesting. I thought about him too. Especially with Wynn out for awhile. But I think they are banking on him being ready in a few weeks and they like Hood at KR.

Morton would have to do more than just Kr/PR to earn a roster spot though. He's a RB and I think they'd prefer to go with Levens if they bring in another RB.

Plus I read the Jets are interested in bring him back.

Which also made me laugh at the taterskins. I just can't help myself.

The "JetSkins" coup they pulled off and bragged about a few years ago got them nothing.

I'm goin go ahead and say no.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

How much did the Skins pay him when they acquired him from the Jets?  He got a nice SB if I recall.

QuoteOne of the premier kickoff returners in the league, Morton cost the taterskins a fifth-round choice as compensation to the Jets and a gaudy five-year contract. He will make $3,004,800 in 2003, the total of his signing bonus, base salary and workout bonus. The cap charge is $954,800. Washington was awarded Morton when an arbitrator ruled that the Jets had failed to match the principle terms of his offer sheet. New York selected Iowa safety Derek Pagel with the fifth-round pick acquired from the taterskins. He signed a four-year contract that will pay him $387,000 in 2003, with a $162,000 signing bonus and $225,000 base salary. His cap value is $265,500.

They also paid Coles a hefty SB too. And they also signed Trung Canidate and Matt Bowen that year too as RFA's.

It also cost them a 4th and 5th round pick.

Now you may be asking, "I thought RFAs only cost one pick?"

But those geniuses in DC forgot that they didn't have a 5th round pick to give up for Morton, so they had to make a last minute trade...they dealt away a future 4th (to New England if memory serves) to get that 5th rounder to acquire Morton.  Stellar GMing there.  8)
More Mahe please.
