Here is a quick update for you guys. Dan Morgan has already retired after seven years in the NFL and having never played a down for the Saints after they signed him in March.
"When we signed Dan, he was committed to making a fresh start, and he was making every effort to rehabilitate the leg injury that he suffered last year," said Coach Sean Payton. "But it wasn’t responding as well as he had hoped it would. We wish him well in his continued recovery, and he will be remembered for the excellent player he was during his career."
This comes from the New Orleans Saints official website and the Times-Pic. For those of you participating in the discussion in my previous post about the 53-man roster, you can nix Morgan from the mix. What do you guys think? What will all this mean? Which LB will benefit from his retirement? Drop it in the comment section!

I think obviously Shanle will immediately benefit but I don’t think he is the answer I would not be surprised if we bring in a vet in the next couple of weeks…..just please don’t let it be Odell Thurman!

I most admit i had some hope that he would become more than most have thought he would be. But retirment? Are you serious? Not even a single down and he is gone. Not a good start to the season. well Vilma more wieght on you buddy do use right.

he’s good! im a fan. what else can i say.
i like shanle and simoneau sharing the third spot because we had a good overall LB year last year and vilma is gonna take us to the next level. that being said, we should make a move and pick someone up (see subject of the post).
just a thought…since we have nice depth at the DE position, maybe we drop someone like grant or smith back to a blizzing OLB spot? mccray could step in and fill the DE spot for one down. could even line up grant, thomas, young, ellis on the line and have smith, vilma and fuji at LB? just to mix it up. i still feel like we have nice depth…
