Colts Seek Trade for Kenny Moore II
10 Apr
Summary
- Kenny Moore II and Colts exploring trade options.
- Scheme fit issues cited for potential departure.
- Moore enters final year of contract, creating cap flexibility.
The Indianapolis Colts and veteran cornerback Kenny Moore II have mutually agreed to explore trade options. This potential move stems from concerns about Moore's fit within defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo's system. Moore, who turns 31 in August, is in the final year of a three-year contract signed in March 2024.
Parting ways with Moore aligns with the Colts' stated objective to rejuvenate their defense with younger, faster players. If traded before June 1, the team could gain approximately $7.06 million in cap space, though $6.05 million would count as dead money. Moore has spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the Colts, earning a Pro Bowl selection in 2021 and being a respected figure within the organization.
Last season, Moore's playing time decreased, appearing in 76 percent of defensive snaps over 14 games, a notable drop from his previous full-time starter role. Despite this, he remains a productive player, recording six pass breakups and an interception in 2025. The potential trade follows other significant offseason departures for the Colts, including team captains Zaire Franklin and Michael Pittman Jr.
