Chris Moore – Value:
Specialist special teamers that don’t return kicks or punts generally do not receive mega deals in free agency. Indeed, most of the really big earners at wide receiver don’t tend to play on those units at all, except in moments when a big play is called for (see Tyreek Hill for details).
However, if the Ravens want to keep Moore around and a part of their special teams, then maybe a deal along the lines of the one Matt Slater signed with the New England Patriots might be in order. In his nine NFL seasons, Slater has one offensive touch of a football. But has been a special-teams ace for the Patriots, and as such has signed a series of extensions all paying him an average of between $1.8 million and $2.5 million a year, per Over The Cap.
But given Baltimore’s ability to find and develop special teams players late in the draft or as undrafted free agents, it would seem tough for Moore to command that type of money given his limited usage. If the Ravens do want to re-sign Moore, a one-year deal at veteran minimum might be more in line with what Baltimore would offer.
If Moore still harbors ambitions of playing wide receiver in the NFL, then these are likely not offers he would find appealing for a host of reasons.
