The Indianapolis Colts released former Pro Bowl cornerback Kenny Moore after nine seasons on Thursday.

Moore, 30, had requested a trade before the NFL draft and later asked for his release, according to multiple reports.

He was entering the final season of a three-year, $30 million contract. His release provides an additional $7.06 million in cap space for the Colts, who will carry $6.05 million in dead money for 2026, per Over the Cap.

Moore recorded 21 interceptions, returning four for touchdowns, and 649 tackles in 132 games (111 starts) for the Colts since making his NFL debut in 2017. He added 11.5 sacks, six forced fumbles and 68 passes defensed. He made the Pro Bowl in 2021 with four interceptions and a career-high 102 tackles.

Indianapolis also released safety Nasir Adderley and waived linebacker John Bullock on Thursday.

Adderley, 28, last appeared in an NFL game with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2022. Bullock, 25, played in 15 games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2025.
