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.
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.
The Indianapolis Colts have re-signed Kenny Moore to a three-year, $30 million deal, making him the highest-paid nickelback in NFL history. Moore's performance saw significant improvement in 2023, and he becomes the fifth player to re-sign with the Colts since Monday. This includes receiver Michael Pittman Jr., linebacker Zaire Franklin, defensive tackle Grover Stewart, and defensive end Tyquan Lewis. Moore, a seven-year veteran and 2021 Pro Bowl selection, has evolved from an undrafted free agent to one of the NFL's top slot defenders, signing his third contract with the team.
Indianapolis Colts General Manager Chris Ballard has received trade offers for center Ryan Kelly and cornerback Kenny Moore, but the team sees more value in keeping both players in their lineup. Moving on from either player would open about $8 million in cap space. Kelly and Moore were both Pro Bowlers for the Colts before struggling in 2022, but the team is banking on them bouncing back as part of a larger rebound in 2023.
