‘Some believe Morse is a more valuable free agent than Paradis because he’s two years younger. He’s basically been Kansas City’s starting center the past four years, since entering the league as a second round pick in 2015. He’s very athletic and considered an excellent pass protector. His main issue of concern is that he’s only played 18 games over the past two seasons, missing nine games in 2017 after twice spraining his foot and then five games last year after suffering a concussion. He’ll probably get less than Paradis, and at his age, if he can stay healthy, that could mean a much more valuable deal for whomever signs him.’
