Josh Morgan had other options.
He’s not sure how many; Morgan left a lot of the team-finding in free agency up to his agent.
But when his agent called to say Morgan had a shot with the New Orleans Saints, the veteran had been told all he needed to hear.
“Once he told me Drew Brees,” Morgan said, “then I wanted to be here.”
Morgan, a veteran of seven seasons in the NFL with San Francisco, Washington and Chicago, made the most of a tryout at the Saints’ rookie minicamp in mid-May and signed a one-year deal for the veteran minimum of $870,000 the same day the minicamp ended.
