Browns can find missing defensive piece by calling released Pro Bowler
The Browns still have a need at nickel cornerback, and Kenny Moore II just hit the open market...
The Cleveland Browns have solved many of the holes on their roster via NFL free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft . However, there are still a few remaining, and a former Pro Bowler was recently released who could fill a massive void in their starting lineup. After nine seasons with the Indianapolis Colts , Pro Bowl nickel cornerback Kenny Moore II has hit the open market .
The two sides had been trying to find a trade partner after the player asked for a contract extension. Apparently, that partner was nowhere to be found. Now, Moore is free to sign with whoever he wants.

With 21 career interceptions to his name, Moore just knows how to take the football away from opposing defenses, and he is a solid contributor fitting the run when asked to step down as well.
