Veteran cornerback Kenny Moore II has officially signed with the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad, according to Fox News and PhillyVoice. Moore, 31, was released by the Indianapolis Colts earlier this offseason and has now found a new home with the Eagles.
Moore, a Pro Bowl cornerback in 2021, brings valuable experience to the Eagles' secondary. He played all 16 games for the Colts last season but only started five, a career low. Through two games, the Eagles are allowing 21 points per game, but their pass defense has looked solid overall.
Moore's versatility is expected to be a key asset for the Eagles. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio plans to utilize Moore's skills across multiple positions, including safety and nickel corner. Fangio's defense is young and undergoing changes, making an experienced veteran like Moore a valuable addition.
Moore's career with the Colts included nine seasons, during which he had at least one interception in every season except his rookie year. He has 21 interceptions in 132 games, 111 of which he started. He is tied with former Eagles cornerback Rasul Douglas and five-time Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for the seventh-most interceptions among active NFL players.
The Eagles are reportedly signing Moore to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million, according to Mike Garafolo of PhillyVoice. Other teams were interested in Moore, but the Eagles have moved Cooper DeJean from safety to the slot in nickel, with Marcus Epps replacing DeJean at safety alongside Andrew Mukuba.
Moore's signing comes as the Eagles look to bolster their defensive backfield. The team's secondary is led by Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, and Moore's experience and playmaking ability could provide a significant boost to the unit.
What this adds
The Eagles' decision to sign Moore to their practice squad reflects the team's ongoing efforts to strengthen their defensive lineup. Moore's extensive experience and proven track record make him a valuable addition to the roster.
