US EditionIndianapolis Colts, Cornerback Kenny Moore Agree to Seek Trade
The Colts are shopping the 30-year-old slot corner as they seek draft capital and a cheaper roster fit, sources said.
- The Indianapolis Colts and Kenny Moore mutually agreed to seek a trade, ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported Friday morning. Moore, 30, is entering the third and final year of a $30 million contract extension.
- During his nine seasons in Indianapolis, Moore recorded 649 tackles and 21 interceptions, earning a Pro Bowl selection in 2021. The veteran has remained consistent, rarely earning PFF grades below 66 or a run defense grade below 71.
- Entering the final year of his contract, Moore would be acquired on a one-year, $10 million deal, though acquiring teams could negotiate a long-term extension. This structure allows flexibility for potential suitors.
- Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, who played in Indianapolis for three years, posted a picture on Instagram shortly after the report, appearing to recruit Moore to Minnesota. The move signals interest from potential suitors.
- Adding Moore to a roster featuring Byron Murphy and Rodgers would give Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores significant versatility at cornerback. The Colts are unlikely to receive more than a fourth-round pick for the veteran.
