INDIANAPOLIS — Kenny Moore II built a deep, heartfelt relationship with the city of Indianapolis over the course of nine seasons. The professional decision he had to make for himself this spring was not easy. Ultimately, Moore realized he might fit better elsewhere and asked for the Colts to find him a new home through a trade.
When that wasn’t possible, Moore asked for his release earlier this week, and Indianapolis granted the request.

“To my teammates.. man, I love y’all more than you understand,” Moore wrote. “The camaraderie of the game is my favorite part, hands down.
