Like we didn’t see this coming. I won’t pile on the guy but it is frustrating to have him talk about being in the best shape of his career and then we get this. Well, good luck and your health is important, so get out while you can, I suppose.

New Orleans Saints linebacker Dan Morgan has decided to retire from the NFL because of recurring injuries, according to his agent.

Drew Rosenhaus, via his Twitter account, announced that Morgan is hanging up his cleats. This marks the second time that Morgan has retired.

“Dan Morgan has informed the Saints that he has decided to retire due to continued injuries,” Rosenhaus wrote. “Dan would like to thank the Saints for the chance to come back this year, but injuries would not let him continue his career.

Lance Moore has really progressed well as a receiver. A couple of years ago I took to calling him “Money” because he always seemed to make the catch, usually for a first down. He’s been working hard in the offseason to come back to what looks like a banner year for both Moore and the Saints in 2009.

Moore is expected to miss the remainder of OTAs and minicamp June 5-7 and should be cleared to practice at some point in training camp.

“My goal is to be ready for the first week of the season,” said Moore, whose rehab program consists of range-in-motion and strengthening exercises for his left shoulder. “Whatever happens before that, happens.”

Moore injured his left shoulder during a routine weightlifting exercise in mid-April, necessitating surgery by orthopedist Dr. James Andrews to repair a dislocation and torn labrum.
