Jets eye Kenny Moore II trade to bolster slot defense ahead of draft

With less than two weeks to the draft, Kenny Moore II has reportedly requested a trade from the Colts. The Jets are viewed as a logical destination to upgrade their nickel defense after a season with zero interceptions. Moore, 30, remains a solid slot corner with strong run defense, and could be a cost-efficient addition—likely a small Day 3 pick and salary tweaks—to mentor Jets cornerback Jarvis Brownlee while upgrading the secondary. The move would depend on salary relief and fit with New York’s long-term cap plan.

Colts Eye Trade Partner for Veteran CB Kenny Moore

Colts and veteran cornerback Kenny Moore are exploring a trade ahead of the draft; Moore, 30, is under contract for 2026 with a restructuring that lowers his immediate cap hit and a pact that voids in 2027. A trade could create cap savings and help Indianapolis get younger at corner, potentially paving the way for Justin Walley to take over the slot.

Colts, Kenny Moore Explore Trade Options

The Indianapolis Colts and veteran cornerback Kenny Moore mutually agreed to seek a trade. Moore, 30, is in the final year of his contract with a 2026 base salary of $9.49 million; a trade would save the Colts about $7.06 million against the cap. Moore joined the Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2017 and has appeared in 132 games with 111 starts, 21 interceptions and 68 passes defensed in his career, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Colts Offer Hendrickson $25M Per Year, Ravens Land Four-Year, $112M Deal

The Colts reportedly offered defensive end Trey Hendrickson about $25 million per year in free agency, but Baltimore won the bid with a four-year, $112 million deal; Hendrickson would have reunited with Colts DC Lou Anarumo, and Indianapolis has since added Arden Key and Micheal Clemons to bolster its edge rush after losing Kwity Paye and Samson Ebukam.

Colts sign Daniel Jones to two-year, $100M contract with creative incentives

The Indianapolis Colts signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a two-year deal worth up to $100 million through 2027, with a 2026 base of $50 million and a 2027 base of $38 million plus $6 million in incentives annually. The deal features extensive playtime, postseason and All-Pro bonuses: $100,000 per win (capped at about $1.7 million/year if he plays 50%+ of snaps), playoff bonuses of up to $2.5 million/year (including $500k per Wild Card, Divisional, and Conference wins and $1 million for a Super Bowl), a playoff-playtime ladder up to $550k, a 75% playtime tier worth up to $750k with additional $250k bumps for playoff appearance, 10-win, and division at 75%, and All-Pro incentives of up to $500k for first-team (plus $250k for second-team).

Colts strike two-year, $88M deal with Daniel Jones

The Indianapolis Colts agreed to a two-year, $88 million contract with quarterback Daniel Jones, keeping him in Indianapolis through 2027 with over $60 million guaranteed and incentives potentially pushing the total to $100 million. The deal follows the Colts’ transition tag, and Jones comes off a torn Achilles while having revived his play in 2025, throwing for 3,101 yards and 19 touchdowns with a 68.0% completion rate in 13 games. The Colts are in win-now mode, hopeful he can be ready for Week 1 of 2026, though a Week 1 starter could still depend on his rehab and the team’s plans, including a potential role for Riley Leonard.

Colts Should Pass on a $50M Daniel Jones Deal

Colts Should Pass on a $50M Daniel Jones Deal

The Colts should reject a reported $50 million-per-year offer for Daniel Jones. His eight-game stretch in 2025 and career numbers show limited high-end production, a high interception rate, and injury risk, making that price tag a risky long-term commitment. The team should pivot to cheaper or higher-upside options (e.g., Kyler Murray, Riley Leonard) unless Jones’ value falls significantly.

Colts eye two-year extension with Daniel Jones

The Indianapolis Colts are nearing a two-year extension with quarterback Daniel Jones worth about $88 million (up to $100 million), after the team used the transition tag earlier in free agency. The deal would give both sides flexibility beyond 2026 as Jones recovers from an Achilles injury, following a season with 3,101 yards, 19 TDs, eight INTs, a 68.0% completion rate and five rushing TDs. The Colts also secured Alec Pierce on a four-year, $114 million deal, as they look to keep Jones beyond 2026.

Jones Contract Standoff Could Redirect Kyler Murray to Minnesota or Indy

Daniel Jones’s stalled Colts contract, with talks aiming near $50 million per year, could force Indianapolis to pivot to Kyler Murray. Murray’s destination is pegged as either Minnesota or Indianapolis, a development that would reshape the Vikings’ QB plans after last year’s Jones loss, while Jones’s Achilles recovery timeline adds complexity. NFL buzz also notes other suitors like Atlanta pursuing Tua Tagovailoa, making Murray’s choice pivotal for multiple teams.

Hendrickson Free-Agent Sweepstakes Narrowed to Colts, Chargers, Bears, with Commanders as Wild Card

Hendrickson Free-Agent Sweepstakes Narrowed to Colts, Chargers, Bears, with Commanders as Wild Card

Trey Hendrickson’s market is narrowing after Cincinnati didn’t franchise-tag him, with three teams making the most sense—Indianapolis, Los Angeles (Chargers), and Chicago (Bears)—and Washington as a plausible dark horse. Colts are viewed as the cleanest fit to close games opposite Laiatu Latu, the Chargers as a win-now destination with a franchise QB, Bears as a cap-permitting upgrade, and Washington as a bold wildcard. The move signals a pricey, high-impact free-agent signing for the league’s top edge rusher.

Pierce Draws Interest From Patriots, Commanders, Raiders, Titans If Colts Let Him Walk

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says the Colts are working hard to re-sign WR Alec Pierce before free agency, but if he hits the market four teams — the Patriots, Commanders, Raiders and Titans — are in the mix thanks to his downfield ability. Pierce is expected to command over $27 million per year after a 2025 season with 1,004 receiving yards and six TDs on 47 receptions, and he was a 2022 second‑round pick.
