The Colts released Moore on Thursday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
Back in April, Moore and the Colts mutually agreed to seek a trade for the veteran cornerback. With a $13.2 million cap hit in tow, the Colts were unable to find a taker, so they cut Moore outright. Moore was one of the league's premier slot corners in his prime. While he's set to turn 31 years old in August, he still averaged 50.9 defensive snaps per game last year, finishing with 55 tackles, six pass breakups, 1.5 sacks and a pick-six through 14 games. The undrafted cornerback who started his pro career in 2017 should have plenty of interested parties in free agency.

Colts' Hunter Wohler: Eyeing return for training camp
Rotowire
Wohler (foot) said Wednesday he believes he will be healthy when Indianapolis starts training camp in July, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
General manager Chris Ballard indicated a couple weeks ago that Wohler was at the end of his rehab process for the Lisfranc injury he suffered during preseason last year, and Wohler echoed those sentiments to reporters Wednesday. The Colts recently added promising safety prospect A.J. Haulcy in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, but they're still otherwise relatively thin at the position behind returning starter Camryn Bynum, so a strong start to training camp could still start Wohler on a trajectory toward earning a depth spot on the 53-man roster for 2026.

Vikings' Eric Johnson: Signs deal with Minnesota
Rotowire
The Vikings signed Johnson on Wednesday, Lindsey Young of the team's official site reports.
The details of the contract are unknown at this point, but Johnson will be linking up with his third team in as many years. He played a depth role on the interior of Indianapolis' defensive line in 2025, logging 131 defensive snaps over 12 games. He joins rookie first-rounder Caleb Banks (foot) and rookie third-rounder Domonique Orange as recent acquisitions meant to beef up Minnesota's defensive front.

Colts' Caden Curry: Lands with Colts
Rotowire
The Colts selected Curry in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 214th overall.
If the draft were just a matter of selecting the most productive college football players, then Curry (6-foot-3, 257 pounds) would have gone much earlier than this. It's almost puzzling that Curry could lead the 2025 Buckeyes defense in tackles for loss (16.5) and sacks (11.0) and still fall this far in the draft, especially given all the other star-level talent boasted by the Buckeyes defense. Curry was a backup for his first three years at Ohio State, however, and his short arms (30 and 1/8 inches) might leave him less effective at shedding blocks than he was at the college level. Some great collegiate players just don't really translate to the pro level due to lack of athletic traits, and Curry's grades on that front are poor enough that he likely projects as a backup in the NFL.

Colts' George Gumbs: Joins Colts
Rotowire
The Colts selected Gumbs in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 156th overall.
Gumbs (6-foot-4, 245 pounds) spent time transitioning between multiple positions early in his career at Northern Illinois, including wide receiver and tight end, before settling in as an edge rusher in 2023 and then transferring to Florida in 2024 and starting one-and-half seasons. As a rookie, the 23-year-old will be a solid candidate to carve out a rotational role in Indianapolis' deep pass rush corps that includes Laiatu Latu, JT Tuimoloau, Micheal Clemons and Arden Key, as well as defensive tackles DeForest Buckner (neck) and Grover Stewart.

Colts' Bryce Boettcher: Scooped up by Indianapolis
Rotowire
The Colts selected Boettcher in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 135th overall.
Boettcher's athleticism doesn't jump off the page, and he's a little undersized at 6-foot-1, 233 pounds. However, he has the speed to get to ball carriers and proved to have a nose for the football with Oregon, racking up 132 tackles and 1.0 sacks as a senior, adding five pass deflections and an interception to his resume. He'll join a revamped Colts linebacker room that added Akeem Davis-Gaither and John Bullock in the 2026 calendar year via free agency (Davis-Gaither) and waiver claim (Bullock) and CJ Allen as a second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Boettcher likely faces an uphill battle to see regular playing time as a rookie and will presumably be asked to contribute on special teams, but he'll get a chance to prove his worth in camp.

Colts' Hunter Wohler: Almost back to full health
Rotowire
General manager Chris Ballard said Monday that Wohler is at the end of his rehab for the foot injury he suffered during preseason last year, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Wohler's rookie year was cut short by a season-ending foot injury he sustained during the second week of the preseason, but the hope is that he won't have any limitations when Indianapolis kicks off training camp in July. After the Colts lost starting safety Nick Cross to the Commanders in free agency, they neglected to bring in any big name as a replacement, meaning there could be room for Wohler to earn a spot on the 53-man roster this summer.

Colts' Justin Walley: Nearly finished rehabbing
Rotowire
General manager Chris Ballard said Monday that Walley is at the end of his rehab for the ACL tear he suffered in August of 2025, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Walley was unable to play at all last year after tearing his ACL during training camp, but there's optimism he'll be back to full strength when training camp begins in 2026. With veteran starting corner Kenny Moore seeking a trade away from Indianapolis, the team could be in more need of Walley's services when the new season starts than it thought it would be.

Colts' Kenny Moore: Seeking trade out of Indy
Rotowire
Moore and the Colts have mutually agreed to seek a trade for the veteran cornerback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Friday.
Moore is set to carry a cap hit of $13.2 million in 2026, but the Colts could save more than $7 million by trading or releasing Moore. Sauce Gardner (calf) and Charvarius Ward (concussion) are poised to lead Indianapolis' cornerback room in 2026, assuming Ward doesn't opt to retire. Moore has spent nine seasons in Indianapolis, appearing in 132 regular-season games. The 30-year-old cornerback plays primarily in the slot.

Colts' Cameron Mitchell: Back to Indy
Rotowire
Mitchell re-signed with the Colts on Thursday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.
The cornerback played on 225 defensive snaps across eight games with the Colts last year, recording 18 tackles (14 solo) and four pass breakups. Mitchell also spent time on Indy's practice squad and on the Browns in 2025. The 2023 fifth-round pick has played on more than 200 defensive snaps in all three of his NFL seasons.

Raiders' Segun Olubi: Inks with Raiders
Rotowire
Las Vegas signed Olubi to a contract Monday.
Olubi will bring his talents to the Raiders after having spent the last four seasons as a key special-teams asset in Indianapolis. Though he also saw action as a depth linebacker for the Colts in 2023, when he recorded a career-high 26 tackles (20 solo), across the last two years combined Olubi has only recorded 27 defensive snaps.

Seahawks' Rodney Thomas: Heading to Seattle
Rotowire
Thomas and the Seahawks agreed to terms on a one-year contract Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Thomas will call Seattle his home for the first time in his NFL career after spending the last four seasons with the Colts. He was a key part of the Colts' secondary in the two years after being selected in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. However, Thomas saw less defensive snaps over the last two years and more work on special teams, and he finished the 2025 regular season with 21 tackles (14 solo) across 17 games. He'll likely see most of his snaps on special teams in Seattle but would be in line for more snaps in the secondary if one or both of Ty Okada and Julian Love were to miss time.

Cameron Mitchell: Entering free agency
Rotowire
Mitchell (calf) will be an unrestricted free agent after he was not tendered by the Texans on Wednesday, per the NFL transaction report.
Mitchell suited up for the Browns for the team's first two games of the 2025 regular season before being let go in late September. He caught on with the Colts in November and appeared in 10 regular-season games for Indianapolis, finishing with 18 tackles (14 solo) and four pass defenses. Mitchell served in a rotational role in the Colts secondary before he suffered a calf injury against the Texans in Week 18. The 2023 fifth-rounder should garner interest from teams looking to add depth in the secondary.

Commanders' Nick Cross: Signing with Washington
Rotowire
Cross is set to sign with the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Cross is an extremely durable safety, playing in all 17 regular-season games for the Colts over the 2025 season and logging 94 percent or more of the defensive snaps in 14 of those contests. The 24-year-old will be a youthful addition to a defense that has prioritized acquiring mainly older veteran players over the past few seasons.

Raiders' Kwity Paye: Inks deal with Las Vegas
Rotowire
Paye and the Raiders agreed on a three-year, $48 million contract Monday that includes $32 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Paye spent the first five years of his NFL career with the Colts after being selected by the team in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He recorded at least 8.0 sacks in consecutive seasons from 2023 to 2024 but saw his numbers dip in 2025, finishing with 39 tackles (15 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and one pass defense across 17 regular-season games. Paye will join a Raiders defensive front that will look significantly different in 2026 after Maxx Crosby (knee) was traded to the Ravens on Friday.

Packers' Zaire Franklin: Heading to Green Bay
Rotowire
The Colts traded Franklin to the Colts on Saturday in exchange for Colby Wooden, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The move gives the Colts some relief as they look to become salary cap compliant, and it also indicates that Quay Walker may not return to Green Bay, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Franklin has logged 100-plus tackles in each of the last four years, and his 173 combined tackles across 17 regular-season games in 2024 led the NFL. If Walker doesn't return to Green Bay, then Franklin would likely start alongside Edgerrin Cooper (ankle) in 2026.

Colts' Grover Stewart: Has fine year in 2025
Rotowire
Stewart recorded 55 tackles (23 solo), including 0.5 sacks, four passes defensed, including an interception, and a forced fumble in 17 regular-season games with Indianapolis in 2025.
Stewart played a similar number of defensive snaps in 2025 (680) compared to 2024 (661), but his per-snap production declined - he posted 19 fewer tackles and three fewer sacks in 2025. He turned 32 in October, and age could explain the perceived decline in his effectiveness, but he still ended up leading Colts defensive tackles in snaps. Entering the final year of his contract with Indianapolis, he should again play a major role as a run-stopping presence in 2026.

Colts' Neville Gallimore: Career-best numbers in 2025
Rotowire
Gallimore recorded 38 tackles (18 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and three passes defensed in 17 regular-season games with Indianapolis in 2025.
Gallimore signed a one-year deal with the Colts as a free agent back in March, and he proceeded to post the most productive season of his six-year career. His 465 defensive snaps were the most he's played in a season, and as a pass rusher, his per-snap production was still the best it's been since he came into the NFL. He's on track to become a free agent again in the offseason, and he likely earned himself a raise regardless of where he lands in 2026.

Colts' Adetomiwa Adebawore: Takes big step forward in 2025
Rotowire
Adebawore recorded 36 tackles (14 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery in 17 regular-season games with Indianapolis in 2025.
Adebawore played only minor roles on the Colts' defensive line in 2023 and 2024, but he became a starter in his third year when three-time Pro Bowler DeForest Buckner (neck) missed seven of Indianapolis' last eight games. Adebawore proved himself capable as an interior pass rusher with the elevated snap count, and he may have earned himself some more opportunities alongside Buckner and veteran Grover Stewart in 2026.

Colts' Samson Ebukam: Has down season
Rotowire
Ebukam recorded 33 tackles (22 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery in 14 regular-season games with Indianapolis in 2025.
After missing the entire 2024 season with a torn Achilles, Ebukam posted mostly disappointing numbers in 2025, including his lowest season sack total since his rookie year back in 2017. He'll turn 31 in May, but it's still possible that being another year removed from the Achilles injury could help his production rebound in 2026. He's in line to become a free agent during the offseason.
