  Rams | Five players waived    Mon May 24, 04:06 PM

The St. Louis Rams have released DT Chris Bradwell, WR Rod Owens, WR Nick Moore, FB Kennedy Tinsley and LB Simoni Lawrence, reports StLouisRams.com.

Footballguys view: Nick Moore is the younger brother of Saints WR Lance Moore. He once caught 20 passes in a game against Michigan, but was outplayed by Brooks Foster in training camp. His best bet is to stick around as a practice squad receiver on another team.

  Rams | N. Moore signed to future contract    Wed Feb 3, 02:32 PM

Jim Thomas, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports the St. Louis Rams have signed free-agent WR Nick Moore (Patriots) to a future contract. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Nick Moore is the younger brother of Saints WR Lance Moore. We saw him last year at the Texas vs The Nation game and he showed good hands, but lacked elite quickness or athleticism. He's best remembered for having a 20-catch game against Michigan while he was at Toledo.

  Saints | Three wide receivers worked out    Tue Nov 17, 07:50 PM

Adam Caplan, of Scout.com, reports the New Orleans Saints have worked out free-agent WR Aaron Kelly (Falcons), free-agent WR Nick Moore (Vikings) and free-agent WR Taurus Johnson (Lions).

Footballguys view: Lance Moore's injury is lingering, so the Saints are looking for some help here. Yes, Nick Moore is Lance's brother, but he doesn't have the same type of game. Nick Moore once caught 20 passes in a game against Michigan, but he doesn't have the consistent hands that NFL teams desire. Aaron Kelly is a big target, but still raw as a route runner. His potential is huge if he could ever get the time to develop as a pro. Taurus Johnson might be the best receiver out of this group. He can get into his routes quickly, and changes direction without losing much speed. He can get separation out of his routes, but he is a little slender and can be pushed around off the line of scrimmage.

  Dolphins | Two receivers worked out Saturday    Sat Oct 10, 07:55 PM

Aaron Wilson, of the National Football Post, reports the Miami Dolphins worked out free-agent WRs Nick Moore (Vikings) and Kole Heckendorf (Packers) Saturday, Oct. 10, according to a league source.

Footballguys view: Nick Moore is the little brother of Saints receiver Lance Moore, and would make a perfect Bill Parcells player because of his work ethic. Nick Moore once caught 20 passes in one game versus Michigan.

  Vikings | Moore released from practice squad    Tue Sep 29, 05:12 PM

Mike Wobschall, of Vikings.com, reports the Minnesota Vikings have released WR Nick Moore from their practice squad.

  Vikings | Eight signed to practice squad    Sun Sep 6, 04:08 PM

Judd Zulgad, of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, reports the Minnesota Vikings have re-signed free agents S Colt Anderson, QB John David Booty, OT Chris Clark, RB Ian Johnson, DT Tremaine Johnson, TE Garrett Mills, WR Nick Moore and OT Drew Radovich to their practice squad.

Footballguys view: Ian Johnson is an interesting RB to track in dynasty leagues because his prowess on special teams and versatility should allow him to catch on somewhere soon. Nick Moore is the little brother of New Orleans WR Lance Moore (even though he is four or five inches taller than Lance).

  Vikings | Roster cut down    Sat Sep 5, 07:22 PM

Judd Zulgad, of The Minneapolis Star Tribune, reports the Minnesota Vikings have released DB Colt Anderson, FB Nehemiah Broughton, DE Martail Burnett, OL Chris Clark, OL Brian Daniels, OL Juan Garcia, DE Otis Grigsby, S DeVon Hall, LB Dave Herron, DT Antoine Holmes, RB Ian Johnson, DT Tremaine Johnson, OL Andy Kemp, CB Marcus McCauley, TE Garrett Mills, WR Nick Moore, TE Jake Nordin, WR Vinny Perretta, OL Drew Radovich, DB Marcus Walker and WR Bobby Williams.

Footballguys view: Nick Moore, younger brother of Saints receiver Lance Moore, may find a spot on a practice squad with the Vikings or another team. He's not the player that his brother is, but he is willing to go over the middle of the field, and does a good job of high-pointing passes. Cutting Ian Johnson is a mistake. The mini-slasher has the heart of a lion, and was having a productive preseason. He is also a versatile back, that can be used effectively as a receiver out of the backfield.
