Kenny Moore II, Colts agree to seek trade: Top landing spots for CB
· Yahoo Sports
Kenny Moore II and the Indianapolis Colts are backed into a corner.
With scheme fit and roster gymnastics presenting an issue for the Pro Bowl cornerback, the only way forward is to part ways. Or at least that's how it seems.

Both sides have mutually agreed to seek a trade for Moore, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Moore is entering the final year of a three-year, $30 million deal with the Colts and will turn 31 by Week 1. The corner appears to be the victim of a numbers game, since there are limited spots and the team already committed plenty of money to Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward.
Given the Colts' desire to give Justin Walley a bigger role, it makes sense to explore a trade for Moore. Indianapolis would likely receive some much-needed draft capital and the corner would get a change of scenery with a bigger role.
"It's all good," Moore said in a text to ESPN's Stephen Holder. "It's all love."
Moore is the latest in an offseason of change for the Colts, who already traded away Michael Pittman Jr. and Zaire Franklin, with Anthony Richardson also in search of a new home.
Here's a look at four teams that make sense as a trade destination for Moore.
Kenny Moore landing spots
Dallas Cowboys
Dallas' defense in 2025 was a lot like a parent who has no control over their kid. The Cowboys allowed opposing offenses to get whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted it. Fixing the defense isn't something that will happen overnight, but the Cowboys also can't afford to simply run it back with the same cast of characters in 2026.
A full season of Quinnen Williams should help, along with the other additions that have been made this offseason. Improving the secondary still remains a priority and the cost to acquire Moore shouldn't be high. In other words, Dallas fills a key spot with a proven veteran for a fraction of the cost. Everyone wins.
Kansas City Chiefs
They traded Trent McDuffie and lost Jaylen Watson in free agency. Kansas City can still find a new corner in the draft with one of its two first-round picks or it can choose to invest in other areas of need. The Chiefs still believe they can contend for a Super Bowl this season, which could be Travis Kelce's last. While a youth movement figures to be a priority, the only real priority is winning – and winning now.
If they believe Moore helps accomplish that goal, this is a no-brainer move as the Chiefs look to rebound.
Green Bay Packers
On paper, the Packers have just about everything they need. Quarterback? Check. Playmakers? Check. Pass-rusher? Check. There is talent up and down the roster, but Green Bay can certainly use some help in the cornerback room. It projects as a real area of weakness and a spot that the team can't address early in the draft. Without a first-round pick, the Packers could instead turn to the trade market to acquire someone like Moore, who would bring a veteran presence to a young group.
Tennessee Titans
Money hasn't been an issue for the Titans this offseason as Robert Saleh and co. remake the roster in a big way. They've already signed Cor'Dale Flott and Alontae Taylor to beef up the secondary, so what's one more corner? Tennessee could easily slide Moore in behind those two, giving the Titans a quality trio in the secondary to boost Saleh's new-look defense.
Just like every other team that could acquire Moore, the story remains the same for the Titans. It's a chance to add quality talent at a cheap rate. In a draft that isn't the most inspiring, parting with draft picks might be easier than usual this year.
