"“I’m not going to say he’s a longshot,” Gruden said. “There’s not one negative thing I can say about Alfred Morris as a person and as a player. When you talk about running backs the most important things you talk about are ball security and durability. He’s been durable and he’s protected the football. He’s been very productive. And those are three things that are hard to say about any running back for the amount of time he’s played the position. We wish him well if we don’t get him done, but if we do get him done we’ll welcome him back with open arms.”"
Here's what Tandler wrote about it this morning:
They will be paying close attention to running backs in Indianapolis but the need may not be a great when the draft rolls around as it seems to be now. McCloughan previously left the door for a return of Alfred Morris open a crack; Jay Gruden pushed it open a little bit more yesterday. “There’s not one negative thing I can say about him as a player and person,” Gruden said. He said that a return is “not a long shot”. I’ll believe it when I see it—I think the Redskins want a more dynamic player as their lead dog—but I get the feeling that if Gruden had his druthers Morris would be back.
Seems like this will be mostly about whether or not another team offers a crazy contract to Alf or not.
I would not want the team to overspend on Morris, but I also wouldn't completely low ball him either.
