The Bucs have signed Moore to a one-year deal, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Moore, who recorded 46 tackles in 16 games (including seven starts) for the Cowboys last year, is slated to work as a nickel corner in the Bucs' defense this coming season.

Moore appears to be the top candidate to replace Orlando Scandrick in the slot corner role while Scandrick serves his four game suspension, Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com reports.

BW Webb hasn't had a good training camp so far, and Terrance Mitchell has looked impressive at times but is still making rookie mistakes, meaning the job is Moore's almost by default. The Cowboys' schedule is somewhat favorable, as games against the 49ers and Titans might not require the Dallas secondary to deal with many three-WR sets, but Week 4's matchup against the Saints could be brutal for their depleted secondary.

Cowboys re-signed CB Sterling Moore.

TE Andre Smith was waived in a corresponding roster move. With Morris Claiborne (hamstring) ruled out for Thursday's game against the Raiders, Moore provides an extra body at the back end of Dallas' secondary.

Last year's Patriots playoff hero for breaking up a would-be Lee Evans TD in the AFC Championship Game, Moore was a scapegoat for New England's early-season pass defense woes. He's versatile enough to play three defensive back spots.

Patriots waived DB Sterling Moore.

The Pats' nickel back, Moore's the first scapegoat for New England's abysmal pass defense even though he's graded out neutrally in Pro Football Focus' coverage ratings. A hero in last year's playoffs, Moore may not slip through waivers unclaimed.

ESPN Boston gives CB Sterling Moore an 80 percent chance of making the Patriots' 53-man roster.

Moore went undrafted last season, but made a name for himself with a strong postseason for a Patriots team with an injury-plagued secondary. Working as the team's fourth corner during offseason practices, Moore has a strong shot at beating out Will Allen and Alfonzo Dennard.

Waived by the Patriots in mid-December, Sterling Moore has been playing opposite Kyle Arrington when Devin McCourty flips to safety.

Moore not only knocked the potential game-winner out of Lee Evans' hands last week, he also came up with a huge third-down pass breakup to Dennis Pitta. NFL Films analyst Greg Cosell doubts Bill Belichick will risk Julian Edelman in coverage on explosive slot receiver Victor Cruz, so Moore should continue to have a major role in the Super Bowl.

Moore surprisingly played all 73 of New England's defensive snaps in Week 10 against the Jets despite being signed off the practice squad just four days earlier, and was used heavily in Weeks 11 and 12. He was de-emphasized against the Colts, however, and will be replaced by fellow rookie Malcolm Williams. So it goes in New England's secondary.
