Pittsburgh Steelers sign Lance Moore

The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed a deal to sign former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lance Moore on a two-year contract.

Moore has been a free agent since being released by the Saints earlier this month and became a target for the Steelers when Jerricho Cotchery joined the Carolina Panthers.

The 30-year-old Moore caught 37 passes for 457 yards and two touchdowns in his 13 appearances for New Orleans last season, and he was quick to express his excitement at continuing his career with the Steelers.

Excited to be a part of #steelernation Couldn't ask for a better organization to continue my career with!

Moore was the longest-serving player on the Saints roster before his release and ranks among the top five receivers in franchise history for receptions (346) and touchdown catches (38).
