Indianapolis Colts Acuire Linebacker Sio Moore From Oakland Raiders

If you were thinking the Colts were in need of a play maker at linebacker than you will be happy to hear that the team has acquired Sio Moore from the Oakland Raiders for a late round pick in next year's draft. So--who is this guy?

Moore was a third round pick out of Connecticut in 2013, and over the last two years started 22 games and played in 26 for the Raiders.

During his time in Oakland he had 140 tackles and 7.5 sacks; 90 tackles and three sacks came in the 11 games he started last season. He did miss all of OTAs and most of training camp as he recovered from hip surgery and an undisclosed injury.

Thanks to his injury and all the time he missed in camp and in OTAs he had been passed on the depth chart in Oakland making him expendable to the Raiders. Should he return to form he will be an absolute steal since he only cost the Colts a sixth round pick.
