FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) Veteran wide receiver Lance Moore has retired three days after signing as a free agent with the Atlanta Falcons.
The Falcons announced Moore's retirement before Monday's practice.
Moore, the former longtime New Orleans Saints receiver, signed Friday to compete for the No. 5 spot at his position. He was competing for a spot behind Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu, Justin Hardy, Eric Weems and possibly rookie Devin Fuller.
