Morton Awarded To Redskins

Admin - April 7, 2003

If there wasn't enough hostility already between the Washington Redskins and the New York Jets, today's ruling that awarded RB/KR Chad Morton to Washington will certainly spark this feud even more. Arbitrator Richard Bloch ruled Monday that the New York Jets failed to properly match a restricted free-agent offer sheet to Chad Morton, and therefore awarded the prized him to the Washington Redskins.

The Jets will receive Washington's 5th round pick as compensation for Morton.
