There weren't even 500 ST snaps all season last year for the Bengals.
On the flip side, there were over 2000 offensive+defensive snaps.
So at most, ST is 20% of the game.

When looking at the ST snap numbers by person, most players play less than 50% of ST snaps.
Thomas only 117 snaps (24.75%)
Irwin only 15.
Tate only 33.

So keep Morgan for his ST and replace Thomas or Irwin with someone who could contribute more to the offense.

So what happens when Morgan gets hurt? I understand we need a better 4th option, but in your scenario our 2nd special team option is replaced and not sure that is a good idea. Some may think we may stash Thomas on the practice squad, but not likely he is not picked up and put on another teams top 53.
