Much like the Miami Dolphins did on Tuesday, the New Orleans Saints have parted with their former starting cornerback Sterling Moore. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers and Chicago Bears have completed a rare NFL trade on Wednesday. Longtime Chargers player Dontrelle Inman must now pack his bags as he prepares to play with rookie Mitchell Trubsiky in the Windy City.

Saints move on from Moore

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport was the first to report that the New Orleans Saints were releasing versatile veteran cornerback Sterling Moore after a year-and-a-half with the team.

The Saints signed Moore last September and he ended up starting most of the season for the team after they were ravaged by injuries at the position.

He was re-signed by the team in March but this season he has only been active for two of their first six games. Rookie first-round pick Marshon Lattimore, 2015 third-round pick P.J. Williams, and undrafted first-year player Ken Crawley have all claimed the top cornerback spots this season.

27-year-old Moore is in his seventh season in the league, having played for the New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Saints. He has played in 71 games and started 31 of them. In his career, Moore as recorded 191 total tackles, six interceptions, 41 passes defended, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and one defensive touchdown.

Chargers ship Inman off to Chicago

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn confirmed on Wednesday that the team had traded wide receiver Dontrelle Inman to the Chicago Bears in return for a conditional 7th-round draft pick in 2018.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the conditional pick's value will be based on Inman's production this year.

Inman was active in the team's first four games but was fourth on the roster behind a healthy Kennan Allen, Tyrell Williams, and an improved Travis Benjamin. He was inactive for two games due to a hamstring injury but has returned to full-health along with first-round pick Mike Williams.

The 28-year-old went undrafted in 2011 but found a home in the NFL when he joined the Chargers in 2014.

He has played in 41 games and started 23 of them. He has 107 catches for 1,463 yards and seven touchdowns in his career. Chicago needs all the help they can get at receiver position after losing Cameron Meredith in the preseason and Kevin White in week one. Through seven games, Kendall Wright leads all Bears receivers in catches (20), yards (236), and touchdowns (one).
