After just one season with the Dallas Cowboys, Alfred Morris has probably seen his time come to an end and will likely be playing for another organization in 2017. This move would strictly be a business decision in order to recoup some of the money he has left on his contract.

Morris is at best third on the depth chart behind Ezekiel Elliott and Darren McFadden. He seemed to fall out of favor as the season progressed in 2016 and pretty much completely vanished once McFadden was added to the active roster.

Morris’ downfall will be because he doesn’t contribute on any of the special teams units and isn’t much of a receiver out of the backfield. The Cowboys like their RB3 to contribute in these areas, and that’s just not part of his game.

The Cowboys already supposedly put Morris on the trade market, but didn’t receive any interest. I expect them to do so once again, but he could be out right released if they can’t find a trade partner.

I personally think there is a 0% chance he remains on the Cowboys roster when the final cuts are made.

  1. Everybody but Hitchens, he’s been the most consistent out of the bunch. Yall are missing one , Tyrone Crawford. Big contract low production. Rid him, lets move on already if he dont show up this year

    • I thought about going with Crawford, but I think the Cowboys keep him around because of his ability to play different positions on the DL. I put Hitchens on this list because he does have trade value, but like you said he is the most consistent. I wouldn’t be completely surprised if he was traded if he ends up buried on the depth chart though. That way he doesn’t walk away at the end of the season without receiving any compensation in return.

  2. Hitchens gives your more insurance than the other positions. This defensive line needs to start fresh Crawford and Lawrence have done nothing impressive to keep them. Were keeping them because of the contract. Outside of Sean lee, maliek collins, anthony brown, and byron jones , everybody on this defense can be traded or cut

  3. TRAVIS DIGGS Hitchens he can’t cover no speed thus the pass interference call against the Lions he is sorry and to slow The Cowboys are the slowest team in Football and one of the stupidest if this is a word Look what the Patriots Did, see they were successful with those slow receiver but they had enough common sense to add Brandin Cooks from the Saints because you need some Blazing to open everything else a real deep threat would take this offense over the top
