Falcons | Team showed some interest in Morton

The Detroit News reports free agent WR Johnnie Morton (49ers) told reporters Vartan Kupelian and Mike O'Hara in an email that the Atlanta Falcons have showed some interest in him. "I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I'd like to be signed before the season, said Morton. "I wouldn't want to come in during the season and play catch-up, unless it's with a team like Detroit, whose offense I already know. I had the same system in Kansas City. I know their system, and it's capable of being very explosive. I still train as though I'm going to play, and I'm in outstanding playing shape."
