Colts Release Kenny Moore II After Trade Request

The move signals a cap‑minded reset that opens the slot role to younger options such as second‑year Justin Walley.

Overview

  • The Colts, who released Moore on Thursday, acted after trade talks failed to produce a deal he requested in April.
  • The transaction also included releasing safety Nasir Adderley and waiving linebacker John Bullock.
  • Indianapolis is expected to gain roughly $7 million in 2026 salary‑cap space depending on the pre‑ or post‑June 1 designation.
  • With outside starters Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward in place, the team plans to look to Justin Walley to compete for the nickel job.
  • Now a free agent, Moore is drawing speculative interest from teams needing help in the slot, with outlets pointing to the Cowboys, 49ers, Chiefs and others.
