Kenny Moore II will report to Indianapolis for the beginning of Colts training camp on July 26, according to the Indy Star. The Pro Bowl slot corner sat out the majority of organized team activities over the summer due to his discontent with the current structure of his contract. The Colts made Moore the highest paid slot corner in the NFL in 2019 when he signed a four-year extension that paid him $33 million. This season will be year three of that extension and he is scheduled to make $6.75 million this year with $8.245 million coming his way in 2023. Despite his highly productive year last season where Moore accumulated 102 tackles and four interceptions, he is still outside the top 20 cornerbacks in terms of pay this upcoming season and new Colt Stephon Gilmore will make more, on average, the next two seasons.
