Steelers pick up WR Morgan
Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Wide receiver Quincy Morgan was not without a home for very long.

Shortly after being released by the Dallas Cowboys, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Morgan to a one-year contract. Financial terms were not available.

The Cowboys' signing of wideout Peerless Price, coupled with the emergence of second-year player Patrick Crayton, made Morgan expendable in Dallas. He had dropped to at least fourth on the wide receiver depth chart, and was being paid a base salary of $750,000.

The former Kansas State standout has posted 155 receptions for 2,316 yards and 15 touchdowns in four seasons in the NFL. He was traded to the Cowboys last season for Antonio Bryant, but reeled in just 22 catches and had no touchdowns in the nine games he played for Dallas in 2004.

The Steelers released wideout Lee Mays to make room for Morgan on the roster. Mays, a four-year veteran, had 11 catches for 154 yards and 36 kickoff returns for 750 yards in his three years with Pittsburgh. He was limited this preseason with an injured hamstring.

i was saying the exact same thing to myself. after that signing we are now a little closer to being as good as the steelers.

This is actually a good pick up for them, like him or not, he is a big play threat. He isnt the #1 guy and just needs to make a big play every now and then, and with his speed, it can happen.

Man Butch made a helluva trade Antonio Bryant lol 22 at the time for the 27 year old morgan, Bryant has such a high ceiling and morgan had 1 decent year and sucks..nice one butch thats the only nice one.

Yeah Q-MO just has talent oozing out his pores --

Dallas is desperate for wide recievers, and this playmaker couldn't sniff a 4th or 5th reciever spot on that team ?

They had to get peerless price which is not saying much

Two years and he is out of the league (might not take that long)-- since he has track speed, perhaps the arena league is best suited for Quincy "Hot Hands" Morgan.

 

[Mac]

Keyshawn, Glenn, and Price is a nice set of WRs. Desperate? Thats reaching..

Price isnt a bad WR either, Vick is a bad passing QB, no WR will succeed with him for a long time. Price is a solid #2 guy...

We all know Morgans hands are the worst, but he still made some big plays for the Browns.

I know what you're saying MAC, but I don't believe he will do much with pitt.... The thing with Quincy is, he has to be involed with a couple plays of the drive.. Now maybe this week or next he could get some touches since the RB's are roughed up, but when they come back and that offense is back to a Running game.. He should have a tough time, he never played well when only getting a couple thrown his way..

And like K.J did, he seem to cut his routes short- which is odd since he has break away speed..

Dallas made this move knowing Key could miss some time... He- f'd up his wrist in a practice or a preseason game..

I'm not sure if he's going to give it a go, but there is speculation he could miss 2 to 3 weeks.

try and guard quincy one on one deep he will burn u.if he catches it ur done...now double him because of that which leaves hines with single coverage.its a good pickup either way u look at it.we utilized quincy all wrong.

 

[Mac]

I dont think we did, we did everything we could. He just wasnt a #1 guy and we had Davis as well, who is a solid #2. His contract was up at the end of the year and the Cowboys were stupid.

Ive liked Bryant since his days at Pitt...he used to give Notre Dame fits. There i sno way you can be upset or slighted by that trade.

I like our WR's better Braylon Antonio Northcutt, we cut the underachievers in Morgan and Davis, I think next year we need to go ahead and draft a LB like A.J. Hawk in the draft depending on where we are, a linemen like D'Brickshaw Ferguson who is projected like top 3 we are talking like Jon Ogden Orlando Pace with this dude or a RB like Reggie Bush and in the 1st mock for 06 It said we take DeAngelo Willaims RB from Memhphis..I'd be content with Ferguson or Bush ...

 

[TrueCavsFan23]

andre davis has promise w/o those injuries.he was the most athletic reciever we had.the guy has a gift now if only he can stay healthy.mac i just think Q would have been better if we had the #1 go to guy so he wouldnt be the go to guy.

 

[DDJ7777]

haha, didn't utilize Q. The only time he ever looked good was when the ball hit him in the chest and he could cradle it in. Screw that.

 

[TrueCavsFan23]

lol if u read my whole post i did say he dropped passes too man.

 

[PIP]

Q is a track athlete... He has speed and that's about it...

The dude couldn't catch a cold much less a football..

Yeah he made a play from time to time, but nothing that warrants being on an nfl roster.

He was drafted on potential, but it looks like he hit his ceiling.. Which was low to begin with...

 

[TrueCavsFan23]

lepip he should be on a roster tho.i dont understand u saying he shouldnt even be on a team.he is better than a lot of WR's out there that are number 4 and 5 WR's and some 3.
