Vaughn McClure of ESPN spoke with free agent Sย William Moore about the possibility of him re-signing with the Falcons at some point.
“Absolutely I would love to come home,” Moore told McClure of returning to Atlanta.
Moore added that he’s just trying to stay ready for the next opportunity whenever it comes.
“I just stay ready,” Moore said. “This is my first time going through this process. Everything happens for a reason, but nothing has changed for me.
“My health is great. I havenโt had absolutely any issues working out and staying in shape. You look at my past injuries, itโs ankles and stuff that heal up. Iโm blessed that Iโve never had any serious issues like blown knees.”
