With less than two weeks away from the NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys need secondary help. A unit that was gashed for the league\u2019s second-highest yards per attempt (6.1) has already taken some steps to address the problem under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker. But Dallas may have also gotten a leg up in addressing that issue, thanks to Indianapolis Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II.<\/p>\n
According to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter,<\/a> Moore and the Colts \u201cmutually have agreed to seek a trade and a new home for the veteran cornerback.\u201d <\/p>\n While Schefter added that \u201cMoore is entering the last year of his contract, and both sides feel it is time to explore a trade,\u201d the Cowboys should be interested and could add a veteran who could make their defense much improved in 2026.<\/p>\n Kenny Moore Trade Makes Too Much Sense for Cowboys to Pass Up<\/p>\n The Cowboys have had a busy offseason, and the secondary has been a key focal point. Dallas added safeties Jalen Thompson and P.J. Locke in free agency; the corner position could use some work, though, even with the return of DaRon Bland and the addition of Cobie Durant. While the Cowboys have been high on Shavon Revel, there\u2019s no guarantee he\u2019ll improve after a rough rookie season, and it could lead to a veteran like Moore being added to stabilize the group.<\/p>\n Moore has been solid throughout his career, averaging a 68.8 overall grade over his nine seasons in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus.<\/a> He was also solid in coverage in 2025, allowing 43 catches for 540 yards and a touchdown while coming away with an interception and three pass breakups on 66 targets. While he was a bit grabby with six penalties (two declined), he\u2019s a player who can hold his own in the starting lineup, which is something Dallas needs right now.<\/p>\n A potential contract extension could be a holdup. Spotrac\u2019s market value projection of $5.6 million<\/a> isn\u2019t a lot, and Moore suggested his bigger issue is his scheme fit, according to ESPN\u2019s Stephen Holder.<\/a> With Moore\u2019s 84.4 PFF grade against the run ranking fifth among all cornerbacks last season, he could also fit well in Parker\u2019s scheme and allow Bland to play on the outside, likely in place of Revel.<\/p>\n
