What happened: Moore is with his fifth team in five years after previous stops with the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos. DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown lead a crowded Philadelphia Eagles receiver room with only one or two spots potentially remaining.

Why it matters: Moore averaged 50 catches and 541 receiving yards across his first four seasons, totaling nine touchdowns. His familiarity with the offensive system and productive training camp strengthen his case over less proven roster candidates.
