Ex-Redskins RB Alfred Morris to join rival Cowboys on two-year deal

— -- Former Washington Redskins running back Alfred Morris will sign a two-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, his agent confirmed to ESPN.

The deal is for two years, worth up to $5.5 million, including $2 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The former sixth-round pick from Florida Atlantic became a Redskins fan favorite as a rookie.

Morris, 27, rushed for a franchise-record 1,613 yards as the Redskins captured the NFC East title in 2012. He benefited from the zone read option, but also excelled out of any look in the Redskins' outside zone system.

His overall production dropped each of the next two seasons but he was still an effective runner.

In his first three years combined, Morris rushed for more yards (3,962) than any back in the NFL except for Seattle's Marshawn Lynch. And the two of them shared the top spot for most gains of 10-plus yards with 110. Morris also rushed for 28 touchdowns in this period.

This past season, Morris finished with 806 yards overall and one touchdown. He averaged career lows in yards per carry (3.7) and yards after contact (1.45).

Morris has the most carries in the NFL over the last four seasons with 1,078.
