Sio Moore

2016 team: Arizona Cardinals

I made a case for Moore the other day.  He came in strong at the end of the season when the Cardinals needed him the most.

Moore

had 35 tackles in just four games, three of them starts, with the Cardinals last season. He has to be given strong consideration to return.

Again, Moore likely comes at cheaper price than some of the higher-profile names.  They may have found Moore at the right time.

Moore would be a nice addition even with a signing of Timmons from Pittsburgh.  If the Cardinals believe they can get away with bringing in Moore, possibly to even replace a Kevin Minter, then maybe they can spend their money in other positions that may not bear near the top of their wish list?

Moore is young.  He just completed his fourth NFL season, a season in which he moved around, spending time with three teams in 2016.
