Moore played for the Seattle Seahawks from 2017-2020 and in three games last year with the Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers.
WNBA
WNBA player and two-time Olympic gold medalist Brittney Griner plead guilty to drug charges in a Russian court on Thursday. The former Baylor star, classified as “wrongfully detained” by the U.S. Department of State, was arrested in a Moscow airport in February after officials found less than a gram of cannabis oil in her luggage. They hope the plea speeds up her release.
