Dan Morgan retires

Linebacker Dan Morgan announced his retirement today, according to the New Orleans Saints, who had signed him Mar. 11 as a free agent.

Morgan had played his entire seven-year career as a Panther. He missed the final 13 games of 2007 with a partial tear of an Achilles tendon, and had battled through other injuries -- including five concussions -- in recent seasons.

"When we signed Dan, he was committed to making a fresh start, and he was making every effort to rehabilitate the leg injury that he suffered last year," said Coach Sean Payton in a statement. "But it wasn't responding as well as he had hoped it would. We wish him well in his continued recovery, and he will be remembered for the excellent player he was during his career."

Morgan was picked by Carolina in the first round of the 2001 draft out of the University of Miami. He had a career total of 452 tackles, started 59 games and was a Pro Bowl selection in 2004. -- STAN OLSON

Very surprising...as much of a gamer as he is, I know he gave it his everything to get back and leave with at least one last good season under his belt.

Posted by: Michael Procton | May 19, 2008 4:47:35 PM

I loved watching him play... when he was able to play. I'm glad I don't have to root against him come this fall, but mainly I'm glad he won't suffer more football-related injuries. This guy gave all he had. It stinks to wonder what could have been. We still love ya, Dan!

Posted by: Matt Privett | May 19, 2008 5:06:04 PM

For selfish Panther fan reasons, I'm pretty relieved knowing the Panthers won't have to face Dan Morgan twice this year. On a personal level, I'm really dissapointed that his career had to end this way. He was an incredible guy, fierce competitor, and I think the best linebacker in Panther history (excluding injuries). I hope the Panthers are able to bring him back to officially retire as a Panther, like what they did for Stephen Davis. Thanks for all you did Dan!

Posted by: Jeff Jones | May 19, 2008 5:10:43 PM

Class act and I'm glad he'll be a forever Panther. Take care Dan of yourself and your family, you truly were one of the great Panthers.

Posted by: RH | May 19, 2008 5:12:12 PM

thanx dan for everything u were able 2 do here in N.C. playing 4 the panthers!

Posted by: paul | May 19, 2008 5:35:03 PM

Guys, just wanted to say I agree with the comments above. He was a class act and a good guy, and gave it everything he had on the field.

Posted by: stan olson | May 19, 2008 5:37:19 PM

Dan Morgan was a great Panther, despite the string of injuries. I loved watching the way he played the game and am proud that he was a part of our team.

Posted by: Billy | May 19, 2008 6:25:22 PM

Danielle,

I want to thank you for your seven years here. Even though you missed more games than you played, you were great!

Posted by: chris | May 19, 2008 6:56:06 PM

The prima donnas in this league can learn a thing or two from Dan Morgan. He played the game the way it should be played. I hate that injuries took away his career. Were he to stay healthy, I don't think it's a reach to say he could have been one of the greatest. Injuries aside, he was one of my favorite Panthers all time. Enjoy retirement Dan!

Posted by: Tom | May 19, 2008 6:59:01 PM

The guy was an anmimal on the field... left everything he had on it, but I lost all my respect for him when he was screaming for a bigger contract and left the team to sign with our nemisis. He could have stayed with the team the respected him had he resigned for a reasonable contract... could've even got plenty of playing time this year. Instead, he retires on a bad note and gets no time in this year, or maybe ever for that matter. Sorry, but after the Panthers had enough faith in him to keep him around (over Witherspoon) and sign him to a phat contract, despite his inability to stay on the field/stay healthy, he decides to crap all over the organization by doing what he did! How can any die-hard Panther fan respect this guy?? I appreciate his contributions to the team, don't get me wrong, but I feel vindicated now and think he got his just desserts. May he never resurface (unless it's for the Panthers at the league minimum).

...as a backup that is!

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 19, 2008 7:08:13 PM

Chris, you're dead wrong. Out of 116 possible games, he played in 66. That means he missed 50 games, or missed your incorrect statement by a full season's worth of games. Further, a couple of seasons that he was healthy at the end of the year were 2003 and 2005. How did we do those year?

Posted by: Michael Procton | May 19, 2008 7:11:16 PM

I wish him and his family nothing but the best. Like many said earlier, it would've been great to see how his career would have flourished without all of his injuries. I honestly believe he could have been a Hall of Famer. God's Speed and Good Luck, Dan!

Posted by: Wayne | May 19, 2008 7:11:28 PM

Morgan wasn't "screaming for a bigger contract" at any point. Firstly, he had no responsibility to sign with us for a lower price than anybody else (see: Saints, New Orleans), particularly after we cut him. Secondly, how do you know the Panthers even offered him a contract after he was cut?

Further, you're crazy if you think the Saints are our "nemesis." I frankly don't care about New Orleans, and I don't know any Panther fan who does (outside of the fact that they're in our division.) The guy obviously wouldn't have been able to play for us any more than he was for the Saints, so why does it matter? You're the one "crapping all over" something...his good name.

Posted by: Michael Procton | May 19, 2008 7:15:56 PM

I know that is tasteless and extreme, but I stand by it through and through. It may be slightly fanatic, but to me, if you aren't a little crazy for the Panthers then you are not a true fan.

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 19, 2008 7:17:39 PM

Syrpis, what the hell are you talking about?

Posted by: Robby | May 19, 2008 7:20:03 PM

And procton... "offer him a contract after he was cut"... how does that work??

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 19, 2008 7:22:16 PM

If Dan Morgan had never had an injury in the NFL he could have been the best to ever play to me and a lot of others.

Posted by: nick | May 19, 2008 7:22:39 PM

He didn't scream for anything, he was signed by a team who offered him a job after we released him. Do you have voices in your head telling you things? Take your pills man.

Posted by: Robby | May 19, 2008 7:22:42 PM

If Dan Morgan had never had an injury in the NFL he could have been the best to ever play to me and a lot of others.

Posted by: nick | May 19, 2008 7:22:47 PM

I did assume the Panthers offered to keep him at a lesser contract though... you're right about that.

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 19, 2008 7:26:34 PM

Usually, a player will say they will take take a pay-cut to stay with the team (see Mike Rucker), in all fairness... and Robby, blow it out yer arse!

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 19, 2008 7:28:22 PM

A true Panther that gave his all. Will miss ya Dan!

Posted by: bryant | May 19, 2008 7:29:42 PM

Syrpis, you came on here ranting about not having any respect for him because you assumed that the Panthers offered him a contract? They didn't offer him a lesser contract. There was no more tread on those tires so they had to let him go. He was able to find someone to sign him, but finally figured that he couldn't play anymore, which may have come about two years late. What does Syrpis mean? Is that the kind of pills you take or something?

Posted by: Robby | May 19, 2008 7:31:52 PM

LOOK, to clarify.... he was upset for being cut, and was saying that he can go somewhere else and get paid well to do so... so I assumed that the Panthers wanted him to renegotiate. If I'm wrong..... whatever. He still signs with a league rival.... so some of you fans have to agree with me that at least that part of it was wretched... right?????

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 19, 2008 7:31:54 PM

And robby, don't take my comments about yer boy so personally. After all, you can still be his butt-buddy despite anything I may say about him.. so back off!!

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 19, 2008 7:33:47 PM

SYPRIS... You're an idiot! Do yourself a favor in the future and know what you're talking about before speaking out and looking foolish. He signed a contract extention in 2005. He was released because the team could no longer depend on him because he was always injured. They werent going to bring him back even if it was for the league minimum.

Posted by: SYPRIS is stupid | May 19, 2008 7:35:30 PM

Who cares if he signed with a division rival? He was released! He can sign wherever the hell he wants.

Posted by: SYPRIS is gay | May 19, 2008 7:37:25 PM

Allow me to clarify, I don't come on here and make ridiculous statements based on a completely unfounded assumption. As far as I can tell we root for the same team, so I am not taking any of the jabs at me personally. I obviously offended you, so I apologize for that, but seriously say something based on fact once in a while.

Posted by: Robby | May 19, 2008 7:39:19 PM

The last thing that anyone should ever utter following a story about Dan Morgan retiring is:

"Very suprising"

Posted by: Matt | May 19, 2008 8:00:09 PM

I sure consider the Saints a nemises, all the teams in the division are a nemises, especially the ones who knocked us out of the playoffs on the final game of a season

Posted by: matt | May 19, 2008 8:07:40 PM

Best Super Bowl defensive performance I have ever seen in my life. You will always be missed. Good luck.

Posted by: Matt | May 19, 2008 8:15:01 PM

Wow... SYRPIS little case of bipoler!! Dan Morgan was an excellent player while with the panthers when he played. As good a linebacker as anyone in the league when at his best! I wish him all the best. I seriously doubt the Panthers or anyone else wanted him to come back. It is time to move on.

AND WHO ON EARTH COULD BE BETTER TO MOVE ON WITH THAN: "52" BEASON!!!!!!

Posted by: wowo | May 19, 2008 8:34:04 PM

Sometimes you hate to see it but he needed to retire. He was one consussion away from ending his career. It's a shame for him but it this was overdue.

Posted by: Ashe | May 19, 2008 8:37:32 PM

Thanks for giving it your all on every play in every game. Healthy or not, he was always a leader. No one had a nose for the football like Dan did. Enjoy retirement, you deserve it.

Posted by: rhackney | May 19, 2008 8:51:23 PM

Definantly is up there as one of the all-time panthers. Much respect and love for Dan Morgan, or as I lovingly named him on sundays: "Big Daddy Dan the !@#$'n Man Morgan" I think it was the right time for him to retire, I was hella worried about him NOT retiring, because I didn't want to see him go like some of the other concussion casualties who have been popping up, talking about short-term memory loss, depression and suicidal thoughts. Bless his new journey.

and on a personal note: I'd love to see him come back as a coach, like Sam Mills did. It would be an awesome carrying-the-torch kinda thing, anybody agree?

Posted by: pantherbayarea | May 19, 2008 9:08:42 PM

As far as him becoming a coach, that would be cool if he was up for that sort of thing. He doesn't really strike me as the coaching type, but I could be wrong. Dan was a great player, I wish we could have seen more of him.

Posted by: Robby | May 19, 2008 9:14:54 PM

Dan was a great player when healthy. He always had a nose for the ball and was never afraid to throw his entire body into a play just to make a tackle. however when a maniac such as he gets too many concussions i think its best that he retire. everyone would hate to watch sportscenter and see him turn into a vegetable because of one too many concussions. Best of luck Dan!!!

Posted by: Ebrown | May 19, 2008 9:18:53 PM

P.S.
Thanks for retiring after the draft....the Saint's fans on the ESPN blog are furious about that and how it screwed them up now. See that...DMorg is always keeping an eye out for the Panther's. Thanks again

Posted by: rhackney | May 19, 2008 9:20:47 PM

*insert concussion joke here*

Posted by: Everyone | May 19, 2008 11:00:38 PM

Best wishes to Dan and his family. Great player when healthy. It would be nice if he could have retired a Panther.

Posted by: Dan | May 19, 2008 11:17:33 PM

Much thanks to Mr. Dan Morgan for retiring after the first few months of free agency and the draft. Clearly, he was just trying to screw the Saints up. Thanks man.

Posted by: Josh | May 20, 2008 1:25:12 AM

read what I write, cretans, before you put words in my mouth! never said he wasn't a good player, jerk. And anyone that signs with a division rival, for any reason, is a traiter. That's fanship 101, but why would I expect you to understand that. Yeah, great guy, blah blah blah, but the second he signed with the Saints, then good riddance. Now bl*w m* imbiciles!

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 20, 2008 3:18:11 AM

Good guy, but if he was having trouble recovering, and with his history of injury, it was probably for the best. He will probably end up as a physical trainer of some sort.

Posted by: michael | May 20, 2008 4:34:38 AM

Man I remember when he had 25 tackles in the Super Bowl. The guy was awesome when he was healthly, its a shame his pro career was injury plagued. Best of luck to him.

Posted by: ND | May 20, 2008 4:48:42 AM

I think we'll see him on TV as a commentator at some point.

The guy didn't want to give up on his career, and I can't blame him for that. He had the worst luck with freak injuries as a pro, after never being hurt during his college career.

Posted by: Another idiot | May 20, 2008 4:48:46 AM

Okay, now I want all of the people that raised cane when he got cut to stand up and admit that Hurney and Fox and Company were RIGHT to release him outright.

Just goes to show you that the front office of the franchise knows more than anyone that posts on this board like they're some kind of expert, including you, Procton.

And do NOT come out here saying that "I said we should have cut him all along" or anything like that, either.

As far as his retirement goes, being a fan I will remember his great performances, his relentless style of banging heads, and how miserably our defense responded every time he went out with an injury. Thanks for the effort, Dan...and here's hoping you don't get crazy and think about coming back!

Posted by: Panthers Rule | May 20, 2008 5:03:19 AM

I said that we should have cut him alooong time ago darlin...

Posted by: Cleo the Psychic | May 20, 2008 5:27:36 AM

I really hope that Coach Fox can find a spot for Dan Morgan on his staff. If he could give players half the motivation he had on the field, the Panthers would be a force to be reckoned with. I'm sad to see his career end so soon. Dan, good luck in all of your future endeavors. God Bless!

I would love to see Dan coach for the Panthers. He could become the next Jack del Rio.

Posted by: Dave | May 20, 2008 6:58:26 AM

SYRPIS, you really are an idiot. You start arguments based on false assumptions. If you really want to stand by an argument, base it on fact! Learn to use Google. And by no means is Morgan a traitor. He owes nothing to a team that cut him. He only owes loyalty to his family and his wallet. He knew his career was coming to an end, but was trying to get at least another seasons salary. I don't blame him. Yes it would suck to face him twice a year in a division rival, but by no means does it make him a traitor. Seriously, listen to everyone on this blog and get a life.

Posted by: Eric | May 20, 2008 7:00:23 AM

Dan Morgan had a great deal of heart, but I think his body was made up of paper Mache.

Posted by: Billroy88 | May 20, 2008 7:04:14 AM

Come on, Hurney, sign him to a one day deal so he can go out a Panther. You really think he wants to go out a damn saint?

Posted by: Wes | May 20, 2008 7:11:32 AM

Procton,

You're wrong again. The Herald says he played in 59 of a possible 112; not 66. I realize that's still not half, but I figure since you like correcting everyone you should at least have the facts straight. Plus, he didn't finish all of the games he played in.

Posted by: Irony | May 20, 2008 7:21:21 AM

So SYRP, did you hate Chris Draft while he was here? Playoff games, kiddo.

And Irony, in seven playoff games since Morgan joined the team, he played in, that's right, seven. I know addition might be over your head, but, let's do the math together: 59+7=...THAT'S RIGHT, 66!

Posted by: Michael Procton | May 20, 2008 8:09:02 AM

Poor Syrpis is catchin hell. Give the man some respect, and let him voice his oppinon. I don't necessarily agree with all of it, but the team stayed too faithful to a guy that was tapped out. Granted if we would have kept Witherspoon then we would not have had any incentive to draft a guy like Beason, but he (morgan) was a class act, and when healthy played at the highest level at his position. But if i were to miss as many work days as Morgan has I would be fired!

Don't know why it posted twice, typo on opinion.

Posted by: Chuck | May 20, 2008 8:30:55 AM

He catches hell b/c his opinions aren't based on any facts. They are based on wrong assumptions. He assumed Morgan was demanding a lot more money, but he was just cut b/c of too many injuries. I have no problem with anyone voicing his or her opinion as long as they can back up their argument. I quite often don't agree with Procton, but at least he bases his opinion on actual facts.

Posted by: Eric | May 20, 2008 8:45:18 AM

Great news for everyone in the NFC South indeed. Dan Morgan was a great player, a unquestioned leader on defense while he was healthy and with the Panthers. He will be missed.

If Dan Morgan could have stayed healthy, he could have very well have gone down as one of the best LBs in our time. The man proved it in the biggest stage by racking up 25 tackles in the Super Bowl!!! Thank you Dan for giving 100 percent all the time. One of my favorite football players ever, and I hope that someday he can come back to football as a coach or working television. Thanks again #55 you will truly be missed and will always be appreciated by the Panther community!

Posted by: David | May 20, 2008 9:57:27 AM

Too bad for Dan 'I Need a Stretcher' Morgan. I just hate we didn't cut ties with the guy long ago- he proved very early on that he was a guy who could never stay healthy. Yeah, he could have been good but it didn't happen- the NFL is big business and the Panthers wasted tons of money on a guy due to being overly loyal. Enough with the love fest for old Dan.

Posted by: Biobe | May 20, 2008 10:44:46 AM

Chuck, if you "missed" that many days of work, your excuse would be something like oversleeping. If a player is physically unable to play, what do you want him to do? Hop to the ball?

Posted by: Michael Procton | May 20, 2008 11:05:06 AM

The point was that if an employee was contstantly out of the job for being sick or having surgeries, the company will view the employee as being a liability, even if the person has good, legitimate medical reasons for being absent.

Same for the NFL, if a player is constantly out for injuries and still drawing a paycheck that he is a liability, even if there is a legit reason for the anbsence

Posted by: matt | May 20, 2008 11:11:48 AM

Also, did anyone else read that Richard Marshall's agent predicted he would be the highest paid DB in NFL history in 2 years.

*And before you smart assess respond with the "well thats what agents say" line" it is still a bold statement and a rare one considering Marshall may not even be a full time starter until next season.

Posted by: matt | May 20, 2008 11:14:26 AM

Here's the article Matt's referring to:
http://www.heraldonline.com/247/story/567414.html

I for one, believe that that statement IS far more about agent rhetoric than actuality at this point, but if Marshall does become a starter either this year or next and continues to play well and show improvement, he could certainly put himself in position to get a really big FA deal in 2010, although the impending CBA deal will impact his ability to do that as well. If 2010 is uncapped, he'd be a restricted free agent rather than unrestricted, because the service time required for UFA would move to six years instead of four.

Posted by: Michael Procton | May 20, 2008 11:27:04 AM

Quick question. Will Morgan's contract still go against the salary cap for next year now that he has retired?

Posted by: Tim | May 20, 2008 1:22:46 PM

ahhhhh if only morgans injuries didnt hamper so horribly, he definitely wouldve been one of the greats and been in the HOF- beason is a nice replacment though haha

Posted by: PUlax45 | May 20, 2008 1:34:01 PM

I honestly didn't read anything that you hypocitical pinheads wrote after my last comment. I do remember some of you screaming for Morgan's retirement/realeas before it actually happened. Now your his beggest fans... give it a rest.

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 20, 2008 1:42:08 PM

Morgan's signing bonus ($750K) will count against the New Orleans cap.

Posted by: Michael Procton | May 20, 2008 1:48:15 PM

I for one asked him to retire b/c of his health. Never doubted he was one hell of a player when healthy. It was because I am a fan that I wanted him to retire before becoming a vegetable. By the way, SYRPIS, betcha five bucks you did read it which is why you had to post again. Don't be upset though, just use google so you have something real/factual to post your opinions on.

Posted by: Eric | May 20, 2008 1:55:40 PM

Yeah, Eric, that too was my very first sentiment. But you wouldn't know that, would you. Try scrolling up putz. Sheeple like are the reason this world is so full of bull. If one out of thirty farts, the other 29 are there to grade it... pathetic!

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 20, 2008 3:10:03 PM

I've got so much more I can add but It's not worth the effort.

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 20, 2008 3:11:58 PM

C'ya suckas!

Posted by: SYRPIS | May 20, 2008 3:12:26 PM

Ahh, interesting information Procton. If Dan counts aginst New Orleans' salary cap, maybe it was the last big hit he could throw at them. In all seriousness, Dan Morgan was a great linebacker, and a good man. As many others have already mentioned, he wasn't asking for more. As far as signing with a division rival, can you blame him? No one else was showing interest in Dan, and the guy obviosuly loves the game. We all watched him battle through injuries over the years, and he kept trying to play even after he had multiple concussions. That's a guy who truly loves the sport and will sacrifice his body to do what he loves. If the Panthers let him go (and I agree that they should have) then who is anyone to tell him that he should quit playing after all that he has already given? Awesome player, and I'm glad that he doesn't have to tackle Panthers next year, even if his career ended before he was ready for it to end.

My hair looks really good today. I should be one of the Davids on American Idol.

Posted by: David Carr | May 20, 2008 4:09:42 PM

I knew Dan as a young 13 year when I lived next door to him in Coral Springs, Florida. Even then, Dan was a determined, polite, helpful kid and was a terrific athlete to boot. Dan went to the same middle and high schools as my daughter and I had the great pleasure of following his career all the way through his days at "The U." Dan had amazing talent, was dedicated to excellence and had tremendous character.

He will be sorely missed as I for one, am really fed up with the bloated egos and thuggish behaviors that many NFL players exhibit. In these days when athletes make millions and millions of dollars, character ought to stand for something! My only regret is that I did not have the opportunity of reconnecting with Dan when I moved to this area 18 months ago.

Posted by: marriagedoc | May 21, 2008 7:58:25 AM

Procton, regarding Marshall in 2010, the service time is actually only 5 years and not 6. So he would be an UFA

Posted by: Billy | May 21, 2008 8:29:06 AM

No, that's not correct, Billy. It's currently four years, but the CBA has a provision that moves it to six (not five) in the event of an uncapped year.

"Second-round picks from 2006 (like Marshall) should be the core of the free-agent market in 2010, but unless they have the ability to "void" their contracts, they will not be free as planned. They would stay with their teams as restricted free agents and it might mean two more years of service before they experience the big payday."

Sorry you are correct I recieved some bad info on Pro Football Talk, which they have now updated.

Posted by: billy | May 21, 2008 3:31:52 PM

No worries...I try to find the info to back it up if something I say gets disputed. I'm glad I could clear it up. Either way, I think most agree that we're all better off if we get a new CBA that includes a salary cap.

Posted by: wowo | May 21, 2008 6:16:34 PM

The achilles injury may have been a blessing in disguise. I was concerned about Dan getting another serious concussion. He was a great player and fun to watch. I will never forget his performance in the Super Bowl. That has to be one of the all time greatest performances by a linebacker in the SB.

Well ol' Morgan retired...the man from The U had 25 tackles against the New England Pattie cakes. Thanks Dan for a great career in Carolina despite missing all those games.

Thanks Dan for the great moments in the Carolina uniform. You and Mike Rucker will be miss very much. A player like Dan Morgan brought it every Sunday, in Charlotte and the Carolinas. I hope him and his family the best hope too see him on the Carolina staff, coaching and mentoring future players.

Dan Morgan will retire as a Panther if thats what he wants, despite all you negative "stealer" posters posing as Panther
fans. You are so transparent.
