Steelers Sign Wide Receiver, Replace Jerricho Cotchery

PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) - With the loss of wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery, the Steelers receiving corp got thin, but today the team announced the signing of former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lance Moore to a two-year deal to help fill that void.

While the addition of Moore seems like a replacement of Cotchery, the small receiver will likely be better in a slot role replacing the team's production they lost when Emmanuel Sanders signed with the Denver Broncos.

The 5-9 Moore battled through injuries for a portion of last year while recording 37 catches for 457 yards and two touchdowns.

Stay tuned to 93-7 The FAN for all the Steelers free agency news and notes.
