Monday, the talk was Antonio Cromartie(notes) was getting packed up by the San Diego Chargers and sent off to the Detroit Lions. Now the word from Mlive.com is that it is highly unlikely that the Lions will be gaining the services of the cornerback.
The San Diego apparently asked for backup running back Maurice Morris(notes) in return and the Lions didn't want to part with the 30-year-old, who rushed for 384 yards and two touchdowns last year. It is hard to believe that this was enough of a sticking point to end this little Cromartie party so there are some who think talks are still ongoing between the teams.
Morris' best game last season came against the Arizona Cardinals when he ran for 126 yards and a touchdown.
