METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints will release former starting cornerback Sterling Moore, a source confirmed.
The news was first reported by the NFL Network.
Moore, 27, was a valuable fill-in for the Saints last year when their secondary was ravaged by injuries. But he was barely playing this year -- active in only two games with three tackles behind younger corners Marshon Lattimore, Ken Crawley and P.J. Williams. Lattimore has emerged as New Orleans' No. 1 cornerback and has been one of the NFL's top rookies this season.
