i mean i know hes 34 bt showed no signs of slowing down, aside from us drafting a local star......

i cant see many teams with a better back up, bengals, titans, panthers, seahawks, vikings....

im out of ideas


The most impressive thing to me is that he has proven without a doubt that not only can he be a change of pace back, but he can carry the load as a starter in a pinch, without a problem

Im just shocked that a "win now" team doesnt roll the dice on him

how many back ups performed better when called upon

steelers drafted a local kid they are familiar with, at cheaper cost.........that can be why as well, just saying
NFL shop said that his jersey is now the most sold Steelers jersey.

NFL Network rated the Cowboys having the best RB situation with Elliott, McFadden & Morris.

When he's healthy BUT look at how many games he's missed over his career and just the last 2 with the Steelers. He's hurt a lot and at 34 that ain't likely to change. That said, I could see a team bringing him in as an injury replacement either during preseason or early in the season.

Agree, he will definitely latch on to a team pretty quick during the season...Probably the first guy getting a call when the first starting back goes down

Maybe he would have a better chance at getting signed if he shut his mouth?

Hahah yea this is not shocking at all. Morris should be a starter somewhere and McFadden is a fringe starter and a hell of a backup rb.

Morris cant catch a ball.....In todays' NFL, that makes him a nice 8 carry a game player
