Tight end David Morgan’s contract should be over, but a source told the Pioneer Press that his contract will toll for 2020 because of his injury situation.
Morgan, a reserve tight end who is considered more of a blocker than a receiver, underwent season-ending knee surgery in October. Prior to getting the surgery, he was on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list.
The tight end is expected to be back for 2020 training camp, according to the Pioneer Press.
Morgan has no guaranteed money on his contract for 2020, so the Vikings can still release him with zero financial burden.
Barring a release, Morgan is entering his fifth season with the Vikings, counting last season when he didn’t play. He has 135 receiving yards in his career and one touchdown.
He started six games in each of the last two seasons before suffering the injury for all of 2019. Hopefully, Morgan can come back into his role as a blocking tight end in 2020.
