New Orleans Saints position series: Outside linebackers

Perhaps Morgan will turn out to be a surprise upgrade. In his prime, he was one of the league's best young playmakers. He was a tackling machine as a middle linebacker for the Carolina Panthers. But a series of concussions and various injuries forced him into early "retirement" last year. That time away did him good, apparently, and he's been "100 percent" healthy "doing very well" in the Saints' offseason program, according to Coach Sean Payton. ... Believe it or not, he's still only 30 years old, so he may indeed have something left to offer.
