WR Lance Moore is asking the Steelers to release him from his contract according to Adam Schefter.

Moore was signed to a two year deal last March. The contract was worth $3 Mil, and included a $645,000 guaranteed signing bonus. If the team does release Moore, which is likely to happen, the move would clear $1.5 Mil in cap space, and will bring $322.5 K in dead money.

The Steelers barely used Moore in 2014. He started the season with groin issues, and the Steelers reportedly liked Justin Brown better early on. Moore saw 264 snaps on offense last year, across the 14 games he was active for.

It seems like more than just 2 seasons ago when Moore had a 1,000+ yard season.  He finished the 2014 season with just 198 yards and 2 touchdowns. Last month Moore said, “I just want to play whether that’s here or somewhere else. I’d love to be here, I’d love to be a part of this offense but I think those are decisions that have to be made down the line.”
