Overview
- Kenny Moore II and the Colts, which agreed Friday to pursue a trade, have not announced a deal as Moore texted that “it’s all good, it’s all love.”
- Reporting ties the shift to a poor fit in Lou Anarumo’s defense after Moore’s snaps fell and he missed three games with an Achilles strain last season.
- Moore is in the final year of a three-year, $30 million deal with about a $13.11 million 2026 cap charge, and a pre-June 1 trade would save roughly $7.06 million with about $6.05 million in dead money.
- If he is moved, Indianapolis expects 2025 third-round pick Justin Walley to take the nickel role, with big-money starters Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward on the outside.
- With the 2026 NFL Draft nearing, outlets expect teams to gauge a deal, though the roughly $10 million due this year could depress the trade return.
