The Facts:
Almost 10 months after being arrested on suspicion of driving drunk in Metairie, Morgan — a wide receiver for the Saints for the past three seasons — agreed to try to complete a diversion program to avoid prosecution on charges related to the case.
Reported by the Baton Rouge Advocate
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Morgan was arrested last May after a State Police trooper found him napping in his car. The 25-year-old failed a series of field sobriety tests and submitted to a blood-alcohol analysis. He allegedly registered a .218, more than twice the legal limit to drive. ... Heading into his fourth year as a pro football player, Morgan tore his ACL during a preseason scrimmage in August and was placed on year-ending injured reserve. It was the second time since 2011 he was forced to miss a year’s worth of action because of a preseason knee injury. Not required to travel to games or attend daily practices with the Saints, Morgan has said he participated in the NFL’s substance-abuse program and made that one of his top focuses outside of healing his knee. Morgan started the offseason as a restricted free agent. But the Saints didn’t tender him, so he became an unrestricted free agent on March 11. It remains to be seen if he'll draw any interest.
