The Saints placed Hogan on the reserve/retired list Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hogan only recorded four catches for 41 yards and one touchdown through the first five games of the season. After five straight years -- split between Buffalo and New England -- registering over 400 yards receiving, the 33-year-old wideout has only recorded a total of 226 receiving yards over the past three seasons. Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Ty Montgomery will likely see increased snaps with Hogan gone.

Hogan was targeted once but did not catch a pass during Sunday's 33-22 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Hogan logged his fewest offensive snaps (eight) of the season with Kenny Stills becoming a larger part of the offense, but his snap count could bounce back after the Saints' Week 6 bye if Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) aren't ready to return and Deonte Harris (hamstring) needs to miss time as well.

Hogan was targeted once but did not record a catch during Sunday's 28-13 win over New England.
EDGE Analysis
Hogan finished fourth in snaps behind Marquez Callaway, Kenny Stills and Deonte Harris. While Hogan should remain a part of the rotation even with Stills quickly moving up the depth chart, he probably won't ever see enough playing to be anything more than a low-ceiling, touchdown-dependent fantasy option even before Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) are back in the mix.

Hogan secured one of three targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 26-7 loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Hogan drew the start in this one opposite Ty Montgomery, but the 30-year-old ultimately finished fourth in offensive snaps among Saints receivers behind Marquez Callaway, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Deonte Harris, plus tight ends Adam Trautman and Juwan Johnson. While Hogan should remain in the rotation at receiver all season, it seems unlikely that he'll manage fantasy relevance at any point, especially once Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) and Michael Thomas (ankle) return to the fold.

Hogan caught his only target for a 10-yard touchdown during Sunday's 38-3 win over Green Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Hogan found an opening in the end zone in the third quarter, but he otherwise didn't make much noise. However, no other Saints wide receiver saw more than two targets in a game where Jameis Winston attempted only 20 passes, so it's hard to read too much into Sunday's stat lines. The main takeaway is that the New Orleans offense seems to be in good hands with Winston at the helm.

Hogan is re-signing with the Saints on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Saints didn't want to guarantee Hogan's contract, but they apparently saw enough this summer to give him a spot on the 53-man roster. Like many other veterans, he'll rejoin the team for Week 1 after being released on cutdown Tuesday last week. While Hogan figures to start off in a backup role, the state of the Saints' depth chart could allow him to get some snaps on offense Week 1 against the Packers.

Hogan was released by the Saints on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
While Hogan is off the team for now, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network mentioned that the Saints will try to bring the receiver back later in the week after rosters settle. In the meantime, the Saints will roll forward with Lil'Jordan Humphrey rounding out the depth chart under Michael Thomas (ankle), Tre'Quan Smith (undisclosed), Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harris and Ty Montgomery.

Hogan will sign a contract with the Saints, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hogan worked out for the Saints on Monday and apparently will land a gig in New Orleans thanks to the showing. He played in just five games for the Jets last season, racking up 14 catches for 118 yards on 26 targets. He should bolster a Saints receiving corps that likely will be down star wideout Michael Thomas (ankle) in the early going.

Hogan is working out for the Saints on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Michael Thomas recovering from ankle surgery, the Saints are taking a hard look at free-agent wideouts. The 33-year-old Hogan caught 14 passes in five games for the Jets last season, before joining the Premier Lacrosse League this spring. He made his professional lacrosse debut in June but now hopes to return to the NFL.

Hogan will be eligible to be drafted in the Premier Lacrosse League after signing with the organization for the 2021 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Premier Lacrosse League season stretches from June 4 to Sept. 19, which seems to suggest the veteran wide receiver will not play in the 2021 NFL season, though it's possible Hogan could make a return to the NFL at some point. Of course, that's dependent on teams' interest in the 33-year-old, who played 11 games with the Jets last season before being cut from injured reserve.
