His 2013 cap hit with us was 555,000 His 2014 contract with Detroit was 1 year @ 645,000 with a 65,000 signing bonus. He just wasn't that good. |

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com (3/10/14) The Saints did not tender two of their restricted free agents, fullback Jed Collins and receiver Joe Morgan, because they can't justify paying either $1.4 million in 2014, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Both became unrestricted free agents, with the team hoping to re-sign them at a lower price. Collins is a valuable lead blocker in the running game, and Morgan is a dangerous deep threat when healthy. |

Re: Saints prepared if Erik Lorig injury lingers
Collins wasn't the best blocker; he whiffed quite a bit...
