Former Redskins running back Alfred Morris agrees to two-year deal with Cowboys

The Washington Redskins decided to move on from Alfred Morris, but they’ll see plenty of him next season. Morris, an unrestricted free agent, agreed to a two-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the situation.

In eight career games against the Cowboys, Morris rushed for 710 yards and seven touchdowns on 152 carries.

Morris rushed for a career-low 751 yards and one touchdown on 202 carries last season and shared carries with rookie Matt Jones. Drafted in the sixth round in 2012, Morris and former quarterback Robert Griffin III were a dynamic duo in Kyle Shanahan’s read-option offense.
