Morgan was traded to the Cowboys for
Antonio Bryant , following a public dispute between Bryant and Cowboys head coach
Bill Parcells . Morgan would have a rather mediocre season with the Cowboys in 2004, despite his rapid elevation on the depth chart following an injury to
Terry Glenn . During the following offseason, Morgan performed poorly in an unexpected depth chart battle against
Patrick Crayton and Parcells began to perceive him as uncompetitive. He was released in order for the Cowboys to pick up
Peerless Price off of waivers and was later signed by the
Pittsburgh Steelers . During the 2005 regular season, Morgan recorded 9 receptions for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns. On
September 3 ,
2006 , Morgan was cut by the Steelers, along with 21 other players, as the team reached its final roster. Morgan then signed with the Broncos on
September 18 as a backup wide receiver. On September 1, 2007 he was released by the Broncos.

South Garland High School , and was a student and a three-year letterman in football. In football, as a senior, he was an All-Conference, All-State, and All-America selection, as well as the Team's Most Valuable Player. As a junior, he won All-State honors from ''
The Dallas Morning News ''.
Morgan spent 2 years at
Blinn College in
Brenham, Texas , before taking over the wide receiver records at
