Cornerback Kenny Moore requested and received his release from the Colts on May 7. He remains a free agent.
"I'm at the perfect point in my career where I really want to win, and hopefully that comes with a team that has the culture, the scheme set up for me," Moore said on Sirius XM Radio. "I just don't want to be a guy on the team, because I feel like I have so many strengths to give to the secondary or give to the team, and just be a leader. But for me, I was putting down in my notes probably two days ago, whenever I was flying in. It's more so, whatever role I have on a team, it's more so like perfecting that role and not really -- it's less about me. I don't talk about me.
"I want to talk about how I can be in a new place and serve. I want to serve not just the team, not just learning the plays, but I want to serve the community and continuing everything I was doing in Indy. Where I was in Indy, it was less me and more about the team. So I want to be a team guy and I want to win and hopefully we can do that together."
Moore, 30, and the Colts agreed to seek a trade in April.
He was set to make $9.49 million in base salary for 2026 before his release.
Moore joined the Colts in 2017 after his release from the Patriots, who had signed him as an undrafted free agent. He has played 132 games with 111 starts, totaling 21 interceptions, 68 passes defensed, six forced fumbles and 11.5 sacks.
"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.
