Colts Permit Veteran CB Kenny Moore II to Pursue Trade Opportunities
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the Indianapolis Colts and veteran cornerback Kenny Moore II have agreed to seek a trade. The move allows Moore to explore other options before his contract expires.
Background and roster move
Moore, 30, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He originally signed with the New England Patriots out of Valdosta State before being waived and claimed by the Colts.
Contract history
Moore has signed multiple extensions with Indianapolis during his career. The team and player recently reached an understanding to pursue a trade.
| Year | Team | Deal |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | Patriots (UDFA) | 3 years, $1.66M |
| 2019 | Colts | 4 years, $33M extension |
| 2024 | Colts | 3 years, $30M |
Cap and dead-money impact
OverTheCap projects a trade would free $7,060,000 in cap space for the Colts. The same source estimates $6,050,000 in dead money would accelerate onto the books.
2025 on-field performance
Last season, Moore appeared in 14 games and started seven. He produced 55 tackles, 1.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, an interception returned for a touchdown, and six pass defenses.
