Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Indianapolis Colts just locked up Kenny Moore II at an absolute steal, earning an A+ CVI that represents one of the best value contracts in the NFL right now. Getting a solid starter-caliber cornerback for just $0.8M annually is the kind of deal that makes front offices look brilliant, especially when Moore has consistently proven himself as a versatile defender who can play both slot and outside corner effectively. At 29, Moore is entering what should still be productive years for a corner, and this bargain-basement salary allows Indianapolis to allocate significant cap space elsewhere while maintaining quality depth in their secondary. The $16M in guaranteed money provides Moore with solid security without handcuffing the organization long-term, creating a true win-win structure. This contract exemplifies smart roster management — the Colts are getting legitimate NFL starter production at backup money, which is exactly the type of value play championship teams need to complement their big-ticket investments.

Performance Analysis

Kenny Moore II is a nine-year veteran slot cornerback who built a legitimate reputation as one of Indianapolis's most reliable defensive contributors over the past decade. Entering 2025 at age 30, Moore carries a career body of work that earned him consistent B-level grades as recently as 2023 and 2024. This season, however, reflects a noticeable step back, dropping to a C- and pulling his composite grade down to a C+. His tackle production remains a genuine strength, logging 3.93 stops per game against an NFL average of 3.00 — demonstrating the physicality and instincts that made him a scheme staple under Frank Reich and beyond. Pass breakups have dipped slightly below league average at 0.43 per game compared to the NFL benchmark of 0.49, signaling some erosion in his coverage disruption. The biggest concern is interception production, where his 0.07 per game trails the league average of 0.13, suggesting his ball-hawking ability has declined with age. Moore profiles as a player at a crossroads — his experience and run-stopping instincts keep him functional, but the coverage metrics point toward a reduced role moving forward. He draws reasonable comparisons to veterans like Nickell Robey-Coleman late in their careers: still useful in a nickel package but no longer a starting-caliber asset at full price. Watch his snap count and contract situation entering 2026, as the Colts may lean on younger options if the current regression continues.

Current Sentiment

Kenny Moore II enters the 2026 offseason as a free agent after the Indianapolis Colts released him following an unsuccessful attempt to find a trade partner, a development that signals diminished league-wide demand for his services. Despite a respectable nine-year career that includes 21 interceptions and 67 passes defended, Moore's advanced age relative to the cornerback position and a veteran-minimum contract suggest teams viewed him as a depth piece rather than a meaningful contributor. The manner of his departure — released at his own request after no trade materialized — carries a notably different connotation than a straightforward cap casualty move, raising questions about his fit and perceived value across multiple front offices. Media coverage has been uniformly transactional and unsentimental, with no outlets framing his release as a significant loss for Indianapolis or generating meaningful interest in his next destination. Until a new team emerges with a credible role for Moore, his market perception remains at a low ebb, though his career résumé and positional experience leave open the possibility of a situational signing as training camps approach.
