Overview
- The Colts released Kenny Moore II on Thursday after a month of seeking a trade, making the 30-year-old veteran a free agent.
- The move frees about $7 million in 2026 cap space, with reported savings up to $9.9 million depending on the release designation.
- With Moore off the roster, 2025 third-round pick Justin Walley profiles as the top option at slot corner after missing last season with a torn ACL.
- Under new coordinator Lou Anarumo in 2025, Moore started seven of 14 games and posted his lightest production since his rookie year, which helped drive the split.
- Early chatter links the Cowboys, Chiefs and Bengals as possible suitors, with the 49ers and Buccaneers also mentioned in reports.
