The end of an era. Sometimes there are just no words. While no one will ever replace Lance Moore, we look back at some of our favorite Lance Moore articles on the Falcoholic.

Falcons sign WR Lance Moore for unknown reason

The move doesn't make much sense unless the team wants him as a camp body that could maybe push for the 5th wide receiver spot. However, his age makes him very unlikely to stick on the roster. He lacks any developmental upside and is not known for playing special teams.

Lance Moore has announced his retirement, according to the #Falcons. He made it through one training camp session.

Fans have obviously sent Moore their best wishes.
