released cornerback Sterling Moore on Wednesday morning, according to a source familiar with the transaction.
Moore was the Saints' top cornerback for most of 2016 as he started 12 games after signing in September, but he had a significantly decreased role this season because the team's young cornerbacks have played well.
Delvin Breaux is also on schedule to return soon after starting the season on injured reserve, and Moore would've had an even tougher path to playing time with Breaux back.
The 27-year-old Moore joined the Saints last year after they dealt with a bunch of injuries to their cornerback group, and he played admirably despite having to make a quick transition, breaking up a team-high 13 passes and tying for the team lead with two interceptions.
