Sammy signed a four-year, $7 million contract in March of '07. The deal included a $1.5 million signing bonus and a $750,000 roster bonus in the second year. The rest is below:
2009 - $900,000 (+ $100,000 workout bonus)
2010 - $900,000 (+ $100,000 workout bonus)
2011 - Free Agent
Sammy is the handcuff, but we can't tell to whom. Between Lawrence Maroney, Fred Taylor, and Ben Jarvus Green-Ellis, there is no clear-cut starter.
Sammy Morris is a career backup who achieved career highs across the board due to Patriot RBs dropping like flies last season. The backfield in New England is now more crowded than ever with the signing of Fred Taylor. If you have one of these guys, you sorta need to draft them all, and your league probably does not allow for that many roster spots. With 20+ carries per game, any RB can be successful in this offensive scheme, but that is typically only possible with multiple injuries. We can't advocate buying high on any of these guys. Morris is one of two RBs 32 years of age or older with under 620 carries in his career. The other is Kevin Faulk. That should crystallize the New Englad backfield situation for you. Sammy Morris is a pickup in the '09 draft as he will more than likely be third on the depth chart.
Sammy seems fine rolling into 2009. No worries here.
