Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that as of March 8, 2013, William Moore and the Atlanta Falcons have agreed to a five-year extension.
Moore is currently coming off his first Pro Bowl season, in which he posted 75 tackles, one sack and four interceptions, despite missing four games with a hamstring injury. He has registered a total of 203 tackles, 1.5 sacks and 11 interceptions since he was drafted by the Falcons in 2009.
Details of the contract were not disclosed.
However, the team did sign Thomas Decoud, who also earned a Pro Bowl appearance in 2012, to a five-year $17.5 million dollar extension last March.
Also, San Diego Chargers Eric Weddle signed a five-year $40 million dollar deal last July, making him the highest paid safety in the league.
With that, it's relatively safe to assume Moore's contracts should fall well within those parameters. More than likely within the ballpark of a five-year, $25 million dollar agreement.
Just another solid step by general manager Thomas Dimitroff as we approach free agency on March 12th.
