Kenny Moore aligned in the slot on 62.7% of his defensive snaps last season, allowing the 3rd-fewest receptions over expected from such an alignment (-4.5).

From ESPN Stats:

Kenny Moore’s 13 interceptions when lined up at slot cornerback are 5 more than any other player since the start of 2017 (Tyrann Mathieu, Mike Hilton, and Bryce Callahan are tied with 8 such Int).

So who’s left, Blackmon? That’s pretty much everyone, right?

Rigo, and maybe Ronnie Harrison, but yeah, that's basically it.

Yeah, Blackmon is the last major free agent. Supposedly Blackmon unfollowed the Colts on some of his social media accounts. Could be a negotiating tactic. Could be he is ready to move on. We'll see...was a pretty deep safety free agent market this year.


Dam - Rigo signed today with the Colts for 3 years, $7.5M.

I'm happy. Guy is a great NFL success story, and so far a life long Colt.

This is almost exactly the kind of contract that I was hoping for here. Gives the team 2 years to find his replacement.
