The team is signing veteran defensive back Kenny Moore II, on what is reported to be a one-year deal worth up to $3 million. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MikeGarafolo\/status\/2102448584461353271?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet\" rel=\"nofollow\">NFL Network\u2019s Mike Garafolo reported <\/a>that the plan is for Moore to play safety and nickel corner in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The 31-year-old defender brings nine years of experience, all with the Colts, and will add some depth to a group that has already dealt with injuries. His presence gives the Eagles more flexibility in their secondary. The Colts waived Moore shortly after the 2026 NFL Draft, and he spent the offseason looking for a new place to land.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Pro Bowler\u2019s career includes 649 total tackles, 68 passes defended, 21 interceptions, 20 QB hits, 11.5 sacks, and six forced fumbles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">With Reed Blankenship leaving for Houston this offseason, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has played Cooper DeJean at safety in their base packages. Moore will add another option as the defense looks to tighten things up after two close games to open the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zach Ertz isn\u2019t the only player joining the Philadelphia Eagles this week.
