OPINION: Dan Morgan, Pats in the running?
 
Just one guy's opinion, but I'll take it, he sees Morgan coming to the Pats:

I think he's a perfect fit and we should be able to get him at the right price. His health will obviously be the key issue, but Dan needs a team and we need ILBs. This would allow us to focus on CB if we were able to bring in Morgan.

he was one of my favourite non Pats players till a couple of years ago

if i am not wrong he was very often injured in the last period

if healthy i would like to see him with us; no doubt

Morgan is an absolute stud when healthy, but that's just the problem, he's never healthy. 4 games in the last 2 years and some severe concussion issues (as well as a torn achilles now)? I'm thinking the odds are very poor he'll be healthy next year, but for cheap, I'd definitely take a flyer on him.

Low risk (cost) and potentially a very high reward if he could ever stay healthy. I just would hope they don't go into the year expecting anything from him. If he stays healthy, we've got a Pro Bowl caliber ILB. If not, we better have a starting caliber ILB waiting on the bench.

There will be a market but limited guaranteed offers, given his situation. I'd be intrigued by him but we all know his injury situation.

Post ted johnson, would make me a little skeptical about any LB with a history of Concussion problems..

I beleve that he is one more injury from retirement. On the off chance he stays healthy, and depending on what he would be willing to sign for, it could be a good move.

If no team makes him a decent offer in the first few weeks of FA, I could see him coming here for near the minimum. He would be a solid contributor if healthy, but he isn't worth much more than the minimum.

Unless some teams comes out and offers him 5 million or some really foolish offer. I dont see how he wouldnt mind coming to the Pats. Its not like theres a thing called backups if your in the Pats rotation at LB.

Morgan would come in here and for the first time be able to play all 16 games.

I would not get very excited about Dan Morgan coming to NE. From all reports, his health (multiple concussions) is a huge question.

Re: Dan Morgan, Pats in the running?
 
alright,
lets get a guy who has played 59 of his 108 career games in 7 yrs .towards the last couple he has not even suited up alot so he should be fresh.

also,clear a seat in the IR group too.
