The New Orleans Saints announced today that wide receiver Lance Moore has signed a contract with the club that will allow him to retire as a member of the organization. The announcement was made by Saints’ Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis.

“On behalf of the entire New Orleans Saints organization, I would like to congratulate and thank Lance for his many contributions to our team for nine seasons,” said Loomis. “It was an honor and pleasure to see Lance grow and evolve from competing for a roster spot and spending time on our practice squad to developing into one of our most valuable and clutch players on offense, as well as a valuable leader off the field and an asset to our community as a whole. It is fitting that a player of Lance’s caliber ends his storybook career where he made his greatest impact as a member of the New Orleans Saints.”

One of the most prolific offensive players in franchise history, Moore was originally signed to the New Orleans practice squad early in the 2005 season after originally signing as an undrafted free agent with the Cleveland Browns earlier that year.
