So, Dan Morgan is making an NFL comeback.
If Morgan gives the Saints one solid season, he is worth it. He's only 30 years old. And, though he suffered an achilles tendon injury, and five concussions, Morgan could be a plus for the Saints in 2009.
He played 1 game in 2006, and 3 in 2007. But, when healthy he was a Pro Bowler in 2004. That year Morgan had 102 tackles for the Carolina Panthers.
In 2000, the Saints got good contributions from veteran free agents. Wide receiver Willie Jackson and defensive back Chris Oldham made solid contributions.
In 2006, when the Saints again won the NFC South, veterans Jeff Faine and Hollis Thomas made huge contributions.
Both were acquired in draft day trades.
Morgan is no risk for the Saints, and he could pay dividends.
