Linebacker Dan Morgan has decided to retire, according to a press release from the Saints on Monday afternoon. Morgan, who signed with the Saints March 11 as a free agent, played in the NFL for seven seasons, all with the Carolina Panthers.

Morgan missed the final 13 games of 2007 with a partial tear of an Achilles tendon, and had battled through other injuries in recent seasons.

"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," Coach Sean Payton said in the team's statement. "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."

Shame he never could get healthy for an extended period of time.

Yuck, but he's right.Payton seems to have some kind of bizarre fascination with Simoneau, no matter how bad he stinks up the joint from week to week.

He'll probably "win" the weakside job in the same way he "won" the mike job last year.

Best of luck to Dan Morgan. I am glad he retired given his many documented health concerns, even though I would love to have seen him play for the Saints. The person is more important than the player.

I do have a question. Did the Saints give him a signing bonus? What happens to that money?

I wouldn't think they gave him a signing bonus, maybe a roster bonus.
