The Indianapolis Colts and cornerback Kenny Moore II are coming up on the legal tampering period, which allows pending free agents to negotiate with other teams.
Before that official time arrives Monday at noon ET, the Colts reportedly still have a chance to re-sign Moore to a contract, per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star.
Erickson reported that “a chance remains” for a deal to get done before Moore is permitted to negotiate with other teams around the NFL.
One of the top free agents for the Colts set to hit the market, Moore would be a difficult player to replace. Though he’s typically viewed as a slot-only cornerback, he has experience working on the outside.
Moore’s impact goes beyond the strong coverage he put together in the slot during the 2023 season as well. His instincts and tackling abilities against the run make him an impact player in both phases of the game.
Where the Colts and Moore find themselves in terms of his value will be interesting. He’s still one of the best slot defenders in the NFL, but he will be entering his age-29 season.
We’ll see what happens over the next 24 hours before the legal tampering period begins, but it seems there’s still a chance a deal gets done.
