L’Jarius Sneed reinforces Colts trade rumor with social media activity
The Indianapolis Colts is one of the potential landing spots for L’Jarius Sneed. Reportedly, the Colts, like some other NFL teams, are waiting for the Chiefs’ final decision to make a move to sign the CB.
While nothing has been officially confirmed about this trade, L’Jarius Sneed indirectly confirmed the rumors by commenting on the Instagram post of one of the CBs of the team.
The Colts have recently re-signed their valuable defensive piece, cornerback Kenny Moore II, to a $30 million contract extension. Kenny posted his picture in the Colts’ jersey, expressing excitement about the prospect of starting a new season with the team.
Fans were surprised to find out the Chiefs CB, L’Jarius Sneed, was in his post. The CB commented with fire emojis under his post, which led fans to speculate about a connection between the two.
This recent social media activity of L’Jarius Sneed has reinforced the Colts trade rumors, with many fans suggesting that the CB did it to hint about his trade.
Destin Adams earlier reported that the Colts are among the teams interested in signing Sneed. The Colts are known to keep talent in-house but adding Sneed would make their defense better. Sneed finished the 2023 season with a PFF grade of 71.1 and a coverage grade of 71.9 while going up against the best receivers in the league.
If the rumors are true and the Colts manage to sign him, they will witness a major improvement in their defense.
L’Jarius Sneed remains hopeful of Chiefs stay
L’Jarius Sneed has developed a close association with Kansas City during his tenure with the Chiefs. Recently, he participated in a community event with Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City.
The CB mentioned that his life has been busy, balancing the responsibilities of being a new parent with the ongoing NFL free agency period.
When asked about the opportunity to be part of a team with a chance to win multiple Super Bowls, Sneed expressed hope and enthusiasm.
“Two is legendary, but three? You never get tired of getting rings,” Sneed said.
He emphasized the desire to stay with the Chiefs, whose owner was recently ranked the worst, and win not only a second but potentially a third Super Bowl ring with the team.
“Hopefully I’m with the Chiefs. Hopefully, I’m still here and we can go back and repeat.”
L’Jarius Sneed doesn’t want to leave the Chiefs. However, the final decision will be made by the franchise about whether they want to continue with the CB or release him.
