Running back Alfred Morris agrees to visit Saints but signs with Cowboys

The Saints continue to do their due diligence in search of quality backup running back options.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Alfred Morris has set up a visit with the Saints.  Another veteran free agent runner, Theo Riddick, visited training camp this past weekend in Metairie.

UPDATE: Morris instead agreed to re-join Dallas on a one-year deal.

The 30-year-old Morris ran for 428 yards last season for the 49ers. He has three-straight 1,000 yard seasons at the start of his career with the Redskins and spent the 2016 and 2017 seasons with the Cowboys.

The 5-10, 222- pound Morris is a physical back who thrives between the tackles.
