Hawks sign Jones and Duckett

With those two signed you think Alexander is out.

Thoughts?

ESPN - Jones agrees to four-year deal as Seahawks bolster backfield - NFL

With Jones and Duckett I expect both Morris and Alexander to be gone.

I'm starting to feel good about this team's outlook with the running game, between adding Wahle and Putzier they've gotten younger, better while moving the running game to a solid mix of Jones, Duckett and Weaver with the possibility of Morris still.

This is a great set of moves.

Hopefully the 'Hawks can find a way to get a draft pick for either/both of Alexander/Morris.

Nah Alexander will be released and Morris be the backup. No one would use a draft pick on either one.

Alexander is almost certain to be released when he is medically cleared, but if ANY team were willing to give even a 7th rd pick I would do it.

As for Morris, his value to the Seahawks is greatly diminishing. With the two signings, he is really only going to get the fourth most time of any back. That's a waste of his talent and he's cheap. He has value at about the 5th round.

No team will due to his enlarged contract.

As for Morris he may still have a chance on this team.
