Shame. I'm a fan of Morrison.

Interesting, he was drafted in 2005 and has started all of his 6 seasons in the league.

I, too, am a Kirk Morrison fan. I would've loved to have seen him in Baltimore. He's said numerous times that Ray Lewis is his idol, going so far as to keep a Ray Lewis jersey in his locker in college and hanging another Ray Lewis jersey on his wall. Ray is the reason why Morrison picked #52 as his jersey number.

Agreed. With how long he's been on the market, I'm assuming it was a bargain for the Bills. Morrison is an intelligent player, and aside from his obvious talent, he possesses tons of leadership qualities. I honestly think he would've been a terrific fit. I wish him well in Buffalo, and hope one of our young ILBs steps up enough to make me question wanting Morrison here in the near future.

Not really related to Kirk Morrison, but it was just reported that Marcel Dareus is on crutches with an ankle injury, and it doesn't look good. He's been tearing it up in the preseason... this [b]really[/b] hurts the Bills... They can't ever to seem to catch a break.

Its a shame. I really wanted to see him come here... Or at least go to a contender.

The market for Morrison must have been pretty weak for a 4-3 team who just signed Nick Barnett to get him.

Exactly. Strangely, at this point, I feel like their personnel might be better suited for a 3-4 base. Kyle Williams at NT, Marcell Dareus (Barring the injury setback) at DT with Dwan Edwards at DE. Nick Barnett and Kirk Morrison at ILB with Shawne Merriman at ROLB. [b]IF[/b] they could remain healthy, it could be a solid front 7.
