Alfred Morris signed with Dallas when it looked like he had a good chance to be the starter.

He was never going to sign with a team where it would have been known coming in that he was going to be the backup.  Your mistaken assumption is that he would have given Carolina even a second thought.

There was a point and time where Morris looked like he was going to be pushed out of the Dallas roster, after Elliot was signed.

I feel like if he looked at Stews injury record and how effective our run game scheme has been, he may have taken the (good) gamble of being the starter shortly after Stewart was injured.

Id rather have Forsett, at least we know he's not an idiot and in football shape.

Forsett is old and has never been good aside from the one season in Baltimore. I'd gladly have fat Karlos and roll the dice that he turns into something.  As a rookie and as a backup, he was averaging 5.6 yards a carry and scored 7 tds in 11 games.  For reference, in Forsett's one anomaly season, he averaged 5.4 and had 8tds in 16 games....In-shape Karlos is already better than Forsett has ever been.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
