Potential landing spots for Kenny Moore after release from Colts

The Indianapolis Colts released cornerback Kenny Moore on Thursday, which puts a good starting cornerback on the open market. Moore requested a trade earlier this offseason, but it would appear the Colts couldn’t find a suitable partner since then, hence the veteran’s release. Moore will draw plenty of interest on the open market from cornerback-needy teams.

The veteran has been a good slot cornerback during his career, and on top of his prowess in coverage, he’s a very good run defender, also, as evidenced by his elite 84. 4 run defense grade from Pro Football Focus last season. Here’s a look at three teams we could see make a play for Moore in the coming days.

The nickel was a serious loss for us. It made a big difference not having [Lewis] out there. And, so, we have got to get better there,” owner Jerry Jones said.
