(Photo by Patrick McDermott\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Green Bay Packers still have quite a few needs to address as the 2026 NFL Draft continues to draw closer.<\/p>\n<p>Without a first-round pick due to the blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys for Micah Parsons, the Packers face an uphill battle to filling all of the roster holes. However, a new potential option may have become available.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported on Friday, April 10, that the Indianapolis Colts and cornerback Kenny Moore have decided to pursue a trade this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this offseason, Green Bay and the Colts worked out a trade involving linebacker Zaire Franklin. Could the two teams come together on a deal to improve the Packers\u2019 secondary? The cornerback position is one of Green Bay\u2019s biggest needs.<\/p>\n<p>With that being said, the Packers have been connected as a top potential trade suitor for Moore.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Packers Connected to Potential Kenny Moore Trade<\/h2>\n<p>CBS Sports analyst Jordan Dajani has named Green Bay as one of the top landing spots for Moore. He also name-dropped a few other teams.<\/p>\n<p>Among the other teams mentioned were the Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, and Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Green Bay Packers already traded for a Colt this offseason in Zaire Franklin. Let\u2019s make it two-for-two and get Moore to Green Bay,\u201d Dajani wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFranklin would probably stand on the table for his former teammate. He even posted a picture with Moore on social media after this \u201cmutually parting of ways\u201d news broke. Moore would improve this Packers defense, but the only problem is Green Bay has a physical slot many like in Javon Bullard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moore has been a very underrated player for Indianapolis throughout his career. If the Packers were to acquire him, they would be adding a playmaker and leader to their defense.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kenny Moore Could Be Exactly What Green Bay Needs<\/h2>\n<p>During the 2025 NFL season with the Colts, Moore played in 14 games. He racked up 55 total tackles to go along with 1.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, an interception, a defensive touchdown, and six defended passes.<\/p>\n<p>Since coming into the NFL back in the 2017 season, the 30-year-old veteran has played in a total of 132 games. He has racked up 649 tackles, 11.5 sacks, six foced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 21 interceptions, four defensive touchdowns, and 67 defended passes.<\/p>\n<p>New defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon could use help at the cornerback position. Adding more defensive playmaking should be a priority for Green Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Expect to continue hearing the Packers linked as a potential destination for Moore. He would make a lot of sense and would allow Green Bay to focus elsewhere during the 2026 NFL Draft later this month.<\/p>\n<p>Evan Massey Evan Massey is a sports reporter and analyst located in Indianapolis, Indiana who covers the NFL, NBA, MLB, WNBA, and college sports.
