Saints smart to keep Sterling Moore, no matter what happens with Malcolm Butler

METAIRIE, La. -- No, the New Orleans Saints didn’t sign that cornerback yet. But their decision to re-sign veteran corner Sterling Moore to a one-year contract should have been one of the easiest choices of the entire offseason.

Whether or not the Saints wind up trading for New England Patriots restricted free agent cornerback Malcolm Butler, Moore should serve a valuable role in the Saints’ secondary.

Terms: One year, financial details not immediately available

ESPN 150 ranking: No. 141

Grade: A-minus Moore, 27, did an excellent job as an injury fill-in for the Saints last year, signing in Week 1 and starting a total of 12 games.
