Colts seek to trade former Pro Bowl defensive back

The Indianapolis Colts and their top slot corner are heading for a breakup.

The Colts have mutually agreed to seek a trade for cornerback Kenny Moore II, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The move comes with Moore entering the last season of his contract.

While Moore did not confirm that his time with Indianapolis is at an end, he did tell ESPN’s Stephen Holder that “it’s all love” with the Colts.

Moore has spent his entire career with the Colts after entering the league as an undrafted free agent. He developed into a steady part of the team’s secondary and was a consistent starter for the bulk of his career. He also received a Pro Bowl nod in 2021.

The Colts already have Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward at cornerback, with both on big contracts. That made Moore expendable, as his role has been reduced and the Colts would like to get that money off their books.

Moore, 30, played in 14 games last season, though only as a part-time starter. He had one interception and two forced fumbles for the Colts to go with six passes defended.
