The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to terms with veteran RB Alfred Morris on Monday, according to Ian Rapoport.
Calvin Watkins reports that Morris is signing a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Cowboys.
Morris visited with the Saints on Monday and reportedly had interest from some other teams. However, it looks like a return to Dallas proved to be his best opportunity.
It’s interesting to see the Cowboys bolster the running back position while Ezekiel Elliott is holding out of training camp for a long-term extension.
Morris, 30, is a former sixth-round pick of the Redskins back in 2012. He played four seasons in Washington before signing a two-year, $3.5 million contract with the Cowboys in 2016 that included a $1 million base salary for the 2017 season.
Morris signed a one-year deal for the 2018 season with the 49ers in August after a rash of injuries to the position.
In 2018, Morris appeared in 11 games for the 49ers and rushed for 428 yards on 111 carries (3.9 YPC) with two touchdowns to go along with eight receptions for 73 yards receiving.
