Heck, there's better options in FA, the CFL, the UFL and probably even a couple in the FFA & SP.Christo said:

Mort says SD shopping Antonio Cromartie for a running back (1 Viewer)

I don't think MoMo is worth anything. I'd rather have just a third rounder instead of Morris plus a fourth.

Kidding aside, I decided to look into this a bit since I'm as baffled as anyone as to why they'd entertain an offer including Maurice Morris... Here's a list of 'Unrestricted Free Agent Running Backs' pulled from nfl.com:Jordan, LaMont (DEN)Lewis, Jamal (CLE)Tomlinson, LaDainian (SD)Westbrook, Brian (PHI)Brown, Chris (HOU)Faulk, Kevin (NE)Green, Ahman (GB)Johnson, Larry (CIN)Parker, Willie (PIT)Peterson, Adrian (CHI)Stecker, Aaron (ATL)Taylor, Chester (MIN)That's pretty much it - Everyone else is a Restricted Free Agent. I'm not sure how much money any of those UFA guys will command on the market, but Morris will only cost $1.3 million for 2010 and $1.6 million for 2011... So maybe that's a big part of it.

Source: It's 'highly unlikely' Lions will trade for Antonio Cromartie

ALLEN PARK -- According to a league source with knowledge of the situation, it's "highly unlikely'' the Detroit Lions will trade for San Diego Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie. The two teams did have talks concerning a deal but the Lions have opted to move in a different direction.
Cromartie, who has been at odds with the Chargers' coaching staff, is being shopped and, if a deal isn't struck with a team, he might get released. The Lions are very thin at cornerback, but Cromartie doesn't appear to play the physical brand of football that head coach Jim Schwartz is looking for. Both of Detroit's starting cornerbacks last season -- Phillip Buchanon and Anthony Henry -- were benched at different points in the season because of poor play in the running game.

No. he's not the run-stuffing CB that's going to fix the Lions run defense.Donnybrook said:

Wow has the bottom fell out of his value or what. Maurice Morris and a 5th and they say no?
Might as well keep him now

If he's not going to fit a team that needs their CBs to be stout tacklers, that seems to rule out an quite a few teams (Tampa-2 comes immediately to mind). What teams or defenses would he fit well in?

Well Detriot has high expectations after abusing Dallas with Roy Williams. SD needs to call Al and pry away McFadden or their first round pick.

Are we sure SD didn't laugh at that offer?

There are better RBs to be had than MoMo. The Chargers should be going after D-Will, D-Mac or the Boys may be willing to deal T-Cho or MBII.
