I wonder if Josh Morgan would have coveted this much attention after being cut. A part of me doubts it. I think we cut one of the more talented receivers on the team, but to be fair, he couldn't stay healthy and that made it hard to do anything other than cut him.
Yeah I think it's the injuries that really did him in. Still, I'm surprised to see the level of interest that he's receiving. I think it's got to mean something.
I personally wish him the best and will be keeping an eye on him. We definitely shouldn't have been using him as a PR. I still don't know why we were doing so this past training camp.

As much as I love Singletary and appreciate having him as coach, I doubt some of his decisions with our personnel, and I think my greatest doubts are now with how we are using our receiver corps.
I don't agree that Jones was one of the most talented WRs on the team. He was a Scotty signing for WAY too much money. The coaches didn't want him to begin with. Seems the writing was on the wall, and pretty clearly written.
When eight or so teams want to see you the day after you're cut, it speaks volumes. And remember, we don't really have any distinguished receiving threats on this team after Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree.
That is true, but we don't use a lot of multi-wide receiver sets either. I think THIS training camp, Jones was falling down the depth chart. With his outrageous salary, he wasn't worth keeping.
This could mean the coaches see something in Williams, or they think Hill and Zeigler bring similar skills and styles of play where Jones wasn't really needed. Could also mean that they expect Ginn to contribute more than initially thought. At any rate, Jones became expendable.
