<\/p>\nThe\u00a0Indianapolis Colts\u00a0made a headline-worthy roster move on Thursday afternoon, releasing their 30-year-old Pro Bowl cornerback (2021) after failing to find a trade partner for the veteran defender.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As expected, many have already begun identifying potential landing spots for the Valdosta State product.\u00a0The Big Lead\u2019s Michael Moraitis\u00a0believes that the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys,\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs, and\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0should be in the mix moving forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cowboys drafted Caleb Downs in the 2026 NFL Draft, and the expectation is he\u2019ll play in the slot, but Dallas might want to keep some flexibility with how it deploys its top pick, and adding Moore would allow them to do that,\u201d Moraitis wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoore would provide a clear upgrade for Kansas City on the inside and would greatly aid in the rebuild of a cornerbacks room that now includes first-round pick, Mansoor Delane.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing as how the Bengals sprung for a massive addition in Dexter\u00a0Lawrence in a trade with the\u00a0New York Giants, it\u2019s very possible a significant signing like Moore will be on their radar.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the Cowboys and Chiefs are obvious suitors for Moore this offseason, Cincinnati shouldn\u2019t be removed from contention. The Bengals\u2019 defense (particularly the secondary) struggled mightily last season, ranking near the bottom of the league in most statistical categories.<\/p>\n
To Cincinnati’s credit, they\u2019ve already made a concerted effort to improve drastically on that side of the ball, signing several impactful free agents and, of course, going all in for Lawrence, as Moraitis noted.<\/p>\n
Why not take things a step further by adding an experienced and proven CB who was an integral part of the Colts\u2019 defense for nearly a decade (he recorded 649 tackles, 11.5 sacks, and six forced fumbles in nine seasons with Indianapolis)?<\/p>\n
It would certainly be worth considering, at the very least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
