-- Joe Morgan is the first casualty among the New Orleans Saints' promised roster changes as the team waived the receiver on Tuesday.
Morgan is a big-play threat, but he is also a threat to the team's delicate chemistry. He has had repeated run-ins with the team, including a suspension earlier this season. The Saints apparently felt one threat outweighed another.
Any team can put in a waiver claim for Morgan, who had a 67-yard run and a 62-yard reception in Week 12 and has shown flashes of ability in his three-year span with the team. Perhaps a receiver-needy contender (New England?) might put up with Morgan's distractions for the home stretch in exchange for a few explosive plays.
After Payton vowed to make personnel changes, Tuesday proved he wasn't messing around.

Morgan will find another home. Six of his 16 career touches have gone for 40-plus yards, but he's struggled to catch on as a core player with just 14 catches since 2011.After Payton vowed to make personnel changes, Tuesday proved he wasn't messing around.
