Linebacker Dan Morgan retired Monday, two months after the former first-round draft pick signed with the Saints, according to an Associated Press report. Morgan played seven seasons with the Panthers. He missed the final 13 games of 2007 with a partial tear of an Achilles? tendon and had at least five concussions in his career.

Former Bengals receiver Chris Henry, on house arrest, said by phone he ''would love to play for'' the Dolphins, Saints or Cowboys.

The Saints met with free-agent running back Shaun Alexander on Wednesday but did not offer him a contract, according to The Times-Picayune. That doesn't mean the two sides won't come to terms on a deal, but it leaves doubt as to how serious both New Orleans and Alexander are about working something out. The former MVP has not set a timetable for choosing a team.

Former Bengals receiver Chris Henry said on Wednesday that he would like to join the Dallas Cowboys, according to The San-Antonio Express-News. He is awaiting trial for misdemeanor charges of assault and a decision from the NFL on whether or not he will be able to play in the league next season. "New Orleans is home for me," Henry said. "That?s always been a big dream of mine. Hopefully, I can get in there and sit down with the coaches and maybe have an opportunity to get down there. And Dallas is another team I looked up to as a kid and wanted to play for them."

Free-agent running back Shaun Alexander is set to visit with the Saints after he met with the Bengals on Monday, according to The Times-Picayune. New Orleans might be looking to add Alexander as insurance should Deuce McAllister not return to form following yet another season-ending injury. "I anticipate they'll continue to look at veteran running backs," McAllister said. "They have to have some protection just in case there are any setbacks with my rehab, even though there haven't been any. It never hurts to have a Plan B."
