Johnnie Morton

[Warhead36]

Is anyone opposed to signing him?

I'm not saying to be our #2, but I'm saying as sort of an auxillary coach.

He played for the Chiefs from 2002 to 2004, in Saunders's offense.

He'll come very cheap, as he hasn't had a 1000 yard season in over a decade.

He would be a very solid #3/4 WR and because he knows the offense he can spread his knowledge around.

[chaz13]

He'll probably be about all we can afford w/out an extension of the CBA.

[jimster]

I understand the attraction with him knowing Saunders, but I'd rather find someone younger.

[Warhead36]

Moss

(unknown)

Patten

Morton

Thrash

That's a very solid WR corps that gives us great talent and great depth, and I think Morton plays Special Teams too.

[Bhutanibeast]

i think taylor jacobs should fill that #2 spot.

Ha

[skinfan2k]

Moss

Patten

Morton

take morton and maybe keep farris, and then we dont have to press for wr until maybe 4th or 5th round. then we can solve our DE issues, and OLine depth.

[Ant15fromNJ]

Morton wouldnt be the long term fix but he knows the system and that would help out the rest of the WR's. Also hes a vet that still makes plays so I think he would be a good sign. Moss Patten Morton thats a good 3 WR not amazing but solid and respectable. Anyways we are still going to be a running team we only need someone to catch around 60 balls from our #2 then moss catching like 80 and everyone else will chip in like Patten Cooley and the backs.

[SkinsD]

i think taylor jacobs should fill that #2 spot.

Ha

:laugh:

At least Morton might be able to catch a pass, regardless of his negatives he is an upgrade compared to Jacobs. He might be all we can afford.

[Warhead36]

When Patten was on the field, he may not have produced big #s but opposing Defenses had to respect him because he did have the ability to get open, thus they couldn't double/triple team Moss.

Morton would just be another one of those guys. He catches 2 passes a game and it's a big upgrade from Taylor "concussion" Jacobs.

[the burgundy and gold]

sounds good, i'd rather have him then jacobs and patten

[fdarugar]

I think we have already had one morton too many...

[portis&taylor]

I would sign him but he wouldnt play much. Would be a soild pickup tho

[Mooka]

We don't need any washed up receivers.

He pretty much fell off the depth chart during the second half of the season. Looked pathetic out there.

[Fifty Gut]

he's old, but made many a clutch catch in that KC offense

he was a stud fantasy player two years ago

vet minimum, sure, why not

[REDSKINSQ]

na we need somthing a little younger.

[RIDETHEWALRUS]

We definitely need someone younger. Morton is 34-35 yrs old. If we were talking about a guy like Tim Brown as his career dwindled down or Jerry Rice as his career dwindled down or maybe Rod Smith, then I would be excited to have him, but we are not. Morton was never a prolific reciever he had a few good years but nothing special. He also doesn't offer any real size advantage versus our other recievers he is generously listed at 6'0". We already have heady vets in our WR corp, Patten and Thrash. Now we need to add some young/middle aged talent

Stole the words right out of my mouth. We really need to sign a young and talented #2 WR. Morton would not be a #2. We would have more depth at the #3 spot. We need a #2 guy. Patten gets the respect of defenses but didn't give us too much productivity. Our depth chart should look something like this...

Moss

Free Agent WR

Patten

Thrash

Jacobs (At this point...I am actually thinking that the skins' should keep Farris and cut him.)

[Gallen5862]

I would sign Morton depending on what his contract demands were. he could help at wr and on special teams. He could also help coach the new offense.

not sure what he has left in the tank. may be no better than thrash.. but he would be vet minimum for certain. hilliard might be a better option if available.

i sure hope you are wrong...

[shallyshal]

na we need somthing a little younger.

agree about the youth being needed.

[forbeskin]

We already have a roster full of 3 and 4 receivers...

[Bonef1de]

We already have a roster full of 3 and 4 receivers...

Yeah, but can any of them do the "WORM" touchdown dance like Morton?

[jivelikenice]

I haven't been impressed by MOrton at all since he left the Lions. His career was made by playing on artificial turf.....

[twenty-eight]

I could see us signing him
