The New England Patriots waive Sammy Morris

The Patriots have waived 34-year old RB Sammy Morris.  Morris played in all 16 games (0 starts) for the Patriots last year and he carried the ball 20 times for 56 yards (2.8 ypc).  He also caught 7 passes for 77 yards (11.0 avg) last year.  Morris played in 47 games (14 starts) in his four seasons with the Patriots and he carried the ball 334 times for 1,486 yards (4.4 ypc) with 12 TD runs.  He also caught 49 passes for 453 yards (9.2 avg) for the Patriots.  The Patriots are going with younger backs going forward, so this move make plenty of sense.
