The NFL's regular season is over, which for most teams, means it's time to start figuring out plans for the offseason.
NFL free agency is a huge part of the process, and along with the NFL Draft, it has everyone preparing for what should be a very active couple of months.
We've officially come up with our own contract projections for the NFL's top free agents that include context behind each player's 2023 season, the likelihood of a franchise tag, the projection itself, and the first-year cap hit for a team that's “all-in” and is needing to reduce that first-year hit in order to maximize their cap dollars.
So, without further ado, let's check out the projection for Indianapolis Colts cornerback, Kenny Moore II.
Kenny Moore 2024 Contract Projection
Moore has been the model of consistency over the course of his career as the model of what a traditional slot corner should be. But as offenses are re-defining the slot receiver position with the increased usage of “big slots,” Moore’s 5’9 stature continues to work against him. Despite that lack of size he is still a sound tackler and has never been afraid to put his head down and lay down a hit as evidenced by his 258 tackles over the past three years. And he has consistently shown the ability to make high-profile plays with 55 passes defensed, 17 interceptions and 9.5 sacks over the course of his career.
But Moore will be trying to improve upon the market-setting deal he signed in 2019 in his age-29 season. Despite still maintaining a respectable snaps per target (7.2) and yards per snap (1.01) ratio Moore might not find the most robust market.
Still, we are betting that given the increased importance of the slot receiver, there will be an increase in need and valuation for good, reliable slot corners and Moore is able to reset the market once again.
- Franchise Tag Likelihood: Low
- 2 yrs $18.5M, $9.25M APY, $9.5M fully GTD
- Year One Cap Hit: $3.5 million
