Kirk morrison to jags

he was traded to the jags for a draft pick more details when i know em

where did you find this out at?? i been looking all over the net, and the only thing i seen was the raiders made a trade to get jacksonville's 4th round pick and got jacoby ford...but i didn't see anything about morrison being traded.

saw it on the draft

i just finally seen it too wayne...the raiders gave up kirk morrison and a 5th round pick to get jags 4th round pick and used it to draft jacoby ford...i think oakland gave up too much to get 1 pick from the jags.

yeah it was on the jags site.. looks like oak fell in love with speed again

but im looking forward to what this revamped front 7 can do.. morrison, durant, smith at lb is gonna be pretty stout

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jaguars desperately wanted a middle linebacker in the NFL draft. They had to trade for one and ended up with an established starter.
One day after failing to land Penn State linebacker Sean Lee in the second round, the Jaguars traded a fourth-round pick (No. 108) to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for linebacker Kirk Morrison and a fifth-round selection (No. 153) on Saturday.

2010 NFL Draft Draft moves to primetime: » Round 1: Thursday, April 22 (7:30 p.m. ET) » Rounds 2-3: Friday, April 23 (6 p.m. ET) » Rounds 4-7: Saturday, April 24 (10 a.m. ET)

Morrison, who led Oakland in tackles the past four seasons, became expendable when the Raiders drafted Alabama star Rolando McClain in the first round Thursday.
Morrison is expected to step right into the middle of Jacksonville's revamped defense, allowing Daryl Smith and Justin Durant to play outside and probably sending Clint Ingram to the bench.
Morrison recently signed his restricted free agent tender and is due $2.51 million next season. He becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2011.
The deal is the latest in the Jaguars' aggressive plan to retool a defense that ranked 23rd in the NFL last season and finished with a franchise-low and NFL-worst 14 sacks.
Jacksonville signed free-agent defensive end Aaron Kampman, released aging lineman Rob Meier and traded underachieving end Quentin Groves to the Raiders. The draft brought even more activity along the defensive front, with the Jaguars selected Tyson Alualu in the first round and D'Anthony Smith in the third.
Many draft analysts and fans considered those picks reaches. But Morrison is much more of a known commodity. A third-round pick from San Diego State in 2005, Morrison has started 79 of 80 games in five seasons. He has 631 tackles, six forced fumbles and five sacks.
The Jaguars tried to trade up to get Lee on Friday. They spoke with the Philadelphia Eagles about packaging some picks in exchange for the 55th overall selection. But the Eagles ended up trading with the NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys, who took Lee at that spot.
Jaguars general manager Gene Smith then turned his attention to Morrison. It was the second trade with Oakland this week. The Jaguars received a fifth-rounder from the Raiders on Wednesday in exchange for Groves.
Jacksonville now has three picks in the fifth and two in the sixth.

great pick up for the jags

morrison is not a true mlb. he will excel on the outside. i fell bad for the guy b/c he wanted to be a raider and he grew up a raider. oh well.

Wow, finally i can use a 4 linebacker set like 3-4 with my favorite team. Durant, Morrisson, Smith and Ingram sub when people get tired or as a 4th linebacker. Look at it from the jaguars perspective.

Earlier this week, they traded groves (3rd string/worthless to the jags) to the raiders for a 5th.

Then they traded their 4th round pick for morrisson and a 5th round pick.

They traded a late 5th round picks to New Orleans for a 4th round pick next year. So essentially they traded Groves for Morrisson and a pick, I couldnt be happier.

I hope the jags d is definetly better I wanted them to get a safety nelson is to soft and a corner would help mathis gets hurt alot and they fall off when hes hurt

Al Davis had to make a stupid deal, since he was drafting so good this year. Morrison and a pick for Jacoby Ford is just stupid. I watched Jacoby play at Clemson and the kid cant run a route. We already have 2 track stars, so why add another. GRRRRRR

oakland needs a punt returner and that is what ford will probaly do.. trading morrison was not stupid, but i think us raider fans including me hate to see him go.
