Moore has demonstrated a team-first approach throughout his career, powering a journey that began as an undrafted free agent out of Valdosta State and peaked with a Pro Bowl nod in 2021. Regarded as one of the best nickel corners in the league when at his best, Moore’s role in Indianapolis changed following the dismissal of defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, and after one season spent under new DC Lou Anarumo, it became clear the two were no longer a fit.
That prompted Moore and the Colts to mutually seek a trade. When one failed to materialize, Indianapolis released Moore in May.
He’s been looking for work ever since.
There’s no hard feelings between Moore and the Colts, who both acknowledged it was time to split. But that doesn’t mean Moore has lost his competitive fire, and as he approaches his 31st birthday in August, he’d prefer to spend his final years chasing team success.
As of late June, he’s yet to find a proper pairing. But with training camp opening a month from now, it’s fair to expect interest to pick up, especially if a team develops a need at the position before the start of the regular season in September.
Moore will be waiting by the phone, ready to answer the call, pack his bags and resume his career.
“I’m so thankful for my time with the Colts,” Moore said. “I can’t say that enough. They’re family. I can still call the people that I’ve experienced and grown with over the years, I’ve got a lot of humility, but I think I’ve just gone through growth. Just growing.
“I’m at a perfect point of my career where I really want to win.”
