Kenny Moore to be traded

[Oldcolt]

Multiple reports are out this morning saying that the Colts and Moore have mutually agreed to seek a trade. So Kenny wants out. Why would we want to part with him? What can you get for a 30 year old corner like him? Is the addition by subtraction or just subtraction? WTF is going on with the franchise?

Sources: Colts and Kenny Moore II mutually have agreed to seek a trade and a new home for the veteran cornerback. Moore is entering the last year of his contract, and both sides feel it is time to explore a trade.

Appears to be mutual, Moore says no bad feelings. That's good. Walley is scheduled to replace him apparently. Saves some money, I am a tad concerned that Walley has never played a down in the NFL.

Text from Kenny Moore II: “It’s all good. It’s all love.”

No beef between the parties. Partly a scheme fit issue, per source. 2025 rookie Justin Walley will be asked to step up as the slot corner.

In theory I have no issues with moving on from 30 year old CB. In this case I do not see how this makes us a better team. We won't get shit back for him (a one year rental at 10 million who doesn't really play outside coming off a a down year) and it opens up another hole in the defense to be filled. Walley has never played a snap and who now is the backup? Maybe we are going all in with Lou type players and this defense will gel into something magnificent. Let's hope we know what we are doing.

Kenny hasn’t been happy with his compensation for awhile now. He either held out or threatened to a couple years ago.

That’s what this is about. He feels he hasn’t been respected monetarily and he wants out.

He’s a good player but I’ve always personally felt that he’s a bit overrated.

I’d look for a late round pick swap as compensation. We aren’t getting much out of him.

If Kenny doesn’t want to be here there’s not much they can do.

Walley must be fucking incredible.

I lean with the philosophy that when you have a player that has a strength, the coach needs to identify how to engage that in their scheme. Empower the player.

We all should have learned this when they asked Freeney to stand up and play outside linebacker. Mathis was more naturally suited for that, and the question about him turned into "What if he was playing this position his entire career?". Pagano failed Freeney, and Freeney was still a highly productive player that almost won the Falcons a fucking superbowl.

I perceived Moore to be a leader based on how he carried himself. He doesn't believe in the coaching or the organization, because I find it hard to believe he wasn't going to make the team.
