Dallas-Cleveland Trade

I don't have a link but I just heard the Browns traded Quincy Morgan to Dallas for Antonio Bryant

Can anyone confirm this?

Wow. I'm kind of suprised at the trades that have taken place.

I think The Browns got a good receiver in Bryant (albeit a jerK). He has good potential. Lord knows he's burned us a couple of times.

quincy morgan and antonio bryant are equals in my mind. both young recievers, former 2nd round picks, good size, good speed. pretty similar.

Morgan is a bit bigger (20lbs - something Parcells wanted maybe?), but other than that, you're right, they look pretty similar.

Bryant is younger and more explosive then Morgan. I haven't seen anything impressive from him. Maybe he'll fit into Parcells system better, I don't know. One thing's for sure, Bryant was never a Parcells guy. Hopefully Morgan does not develop into anything.

Morgan is a solid #2 whereas Bryant was a young, potential star. Strictly in terms of talent, Dallas got screwed. :headbange

But, given Bryant's persona, it might be a push.

I would have to agree! First Qincy Carter get's cut. Now Braynt? Go Bill. I think you should cut Roy Williams next.

Ramsey, we needed speed..AB is not a speedster...heck, he had a 4.58 coming out of Pitt 2 and a half years ago

AB is a good leaper, is fluid, adjusts to the ball well and fights for the ball

An example is the catch over Smoot a month ago

AB's behavior is well docmented

Morgan is a legit 4.3 range guy...@ 6'0" and 210 he's a big guy but not physical...can make circus type catches but overall has inconsistant hands which from all Ive read is due to trying to run before he's secured the ball

When he does hold on, he's great after the catch--kind of a bigger version of Raghib Ismail

Morgan;s speed, in theory, will create more space for the short to intermediate passing game and the running game

There has been speculation at several Cowboys boards that this is a precursor for us pursuing USC's Mike Williams next year...Morgan and Mike Williams would be a beautiful thing ---with Glenn being the slot guy

Living in Texas.............it all started back in training camp when Bryant threw his jersey in Parcells face........a scuffle insued and Bryant "disappeared" from camp for a few days............ I guess the situation has escalated over the time and Parcells had had enough!!!!!!!!!
