Morris had a down season in a timeshare backfield in Washington last year with 751 yards and one touchdown on 202 carries. However, prior to 2015, Morris had three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, including a stellar rookie year in 2012, when he rushed for 1,613 yards and 13 touchdowns on 335 carries.
Morris, 27, will join Darren McFadden in a Dallas backfield behind arguably the strongest offensive line in the NFL.
