It’s tough to make a career in the NFL. With just a handful of spots available on the 53-man roster each year, dozens of players get cut after competing for jobs over the summer. When the NFL’s roster cuts deadline passes at 3:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, more than 1,100 players will be out of work. Few people know that experience as well as retired New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lance Moore.
Moore’s NFL journey started with a stint on the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted rookie, before the Saints picked him up and sent him overseas for development with the since-defunct NFL Europe.
