Morgan was released by the Saints on Tuesday.
Morgan reeled in four catches for 47 yards during the preseason after signing with New Orleans in March. The wide receiver has appeared in at least three games in each of his five prior NFL seasons, all with Cincinnati, and he'll now look for a new opportunity elsewhere.

Saints' Stanley Morgan: Logs one catch in preseason opener
Rotowire
Morgan (hip) caught one of four targets for 13 yards during Saturday's 16-14 preseason win against the Cardinals.
Morgan was dealing with a hip injury leading into Saturday's exhibition, but he managed to play 31 offensive snaps and should be healthy moving forward. The 27-year-old first got on the field in the second quarter and was out there for the final offensive series of the game, and he ended up tied with No.1 wideout Chris Olave and second-year wideout A.T. Perry for a team high in targets. Morgan's availability should help him in his goal of making the final 53-man roster, as fellow wideouts Equanimeous St. Brown (hamstring), Mason Tipton (hamstring) and Bub Means all did not play.

Rotowire
The Saints have agreed to terms with Morgan, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Over the course of 51 regular-season games (all with the Bengals) Morgan has caught just five passes for 29 yards. This coming season, the 27-year-old, who was born in New Orleans, will provide the Saints with some needed depth at wideout and on special teams.

Bengals' Stanley Morgan: Back with active roster
Rotowire
The Bengals elevated Morgan to their active roster Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Morgan was elevated to Cincinnati's active roster to ensure depth at wide receiver due to Tee Higgins (hamstring) being likely to miss the team's season finale. The 27-year-old Morgan has already appeared in two games for the Bengals this season, failing to record a stat while playing 34 total snaps (four offensive and 30 on special teams).

Stanley Morgan: Cut by Bengals
Rotowire
The Bengals released Morgan on Tuesday, Geoff Hobson of the team's official website reports.
Morgan has been a core special teams member for the Bengals since joining the league in 2019. However, the team has opted to go in a more youthful direction in that department, and the 26-year-old is a casualty of that decision. It remains to be seen if he will be kept around on the team's practice squad or have to look for a fresh start somewhere else.

Bengals' Stanley Morgan: Finishes 2022 without reception
Rotowire
Morgan played five snaps on offense and 21 on special teams in Sunday's 27-16 win over the Ravens, accruing no statistics during the contest.
Morgan saw snaps on offense during all 14 of his appearances of the regular season, but never more than 10 on any occasion.

Morgan will likely continue to see most of his playing time on special teams during Cincinnati's upcoming playoff run.

Morgan has missed back-to-back games due to a hamstring injury, but he's trending in the right direction after returning to practice Wednesday.

Stanley Morgan: Set to become free agent
Rotowire
Morgan won't be tendered by the Bengals, so he'll become a free agent when the new league year starts March 16, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Morgan appeared in all 17 of the Bengals' regular season games, but he wasn't a factor during their playoff run due to a hamstring issue. Regardless, he operated mostly on special teams and caught just two of four targets for 11 yards during the 2021 campaign. It's unclear what type of market the 25-year-old wideout will garner in free agency.

Morgan has missed all three of the Bengals' previous postseason matchups due to a lingering hamstring injury.

Bengals' Stanley Morgan: Unlikely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Morgan (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Morgan was limited to start the week but didn't practice Friday, so it would be a shock if he was able to suit up. In his likely absence, Tre Flowers is expected to once again take over the gunner role on punt coverage.
