Divergent Accounts Surface Regarding Chiefs Trading L’Jarius Needs to Have an AFC Suitor

Different sources have suggested that the Kansas City Chiefs might trade cornerback L’Jarius Sneed to the Indianapolis Colts.

With varying rumors circulating about Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed and a possible trade to the Indianapolis Colts, March 16 got off to a great start.

“At-Z Sports Indianapolis beat writer Destin Adams initially said on X, ‘Sources tell myself & @AtoZSportsNFL that the Chiefs and Colts are ironing out the final details on a trade that will send star CB L’Jarius Sneed to Indianapolis.”

“I’m told the Colts are sending a 2024 third and an additional pick in 2025,” the commenter continued.

Although Adams is a certified PFWA journalist and a member of the Colts media, fellow Indianapolis media member Stephen Holder (ESPN) denied the allegation when questioned about it.

That’s not true. When a fan questioned Holder about rumors’ that the Sneed transfer had been completed, Holder apologized. The seasoned reporter even stated in a follow-up, “In fact, I’m leaning heavily towards that trade not happening at all.”

Prominent Colts podcaster Jason Spears also hinted that Sneed to Indy was a done deal in a different post.

Spears reported, “I was informed the deal is completed.” “It’s done, but I’m not sure when it gets announced. Someone with connections in the Colts community ran it by them, and they heard the same thing. CB with the work at night.

Spears verified the rumoured trade return in the comments, saying, “2024 3rd & an additional 2025 pick.” Indeed, Destin was entirely correct.

There was more discussion about Sneed to Indianapolis after that.

About two hours after Adams’ initial claim, Holder declared, “Once and for all: There is no trade in place between the Chiefs and Colts for L’Jarius Sneed.” “I received this information directly from the Colts organization’s top brass.”

There has been no announcement of a Sneed trade as of 10:30 a.m. EST on March 16. We will keep an eye on this scenario throughout the day.

Stephen Holder Reports a “New Contract” as a Potential Trade Hold-Up for L’Jarius Sneed Between the Chiefs and the Colts
Holder posted a thread yesterday, March 15, detailing the “hold-up” in the Sneed negotiations between the Chiefs and Colts.

“My understanding is that the challenge of agreeing to a new contract is more important than KC’s willingness to trade Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, who was franchised and given permission to seek a trade,” he started.

According to the author, the scenario in question appears to be a sign-and-trade, hence two boxes need to be checked: Payback in kind and a fresh contract. That’s where it sits, but the Colts and other clubs are still interested.

Holder later said, “I might have been a little ambiguous here.” Saying: “To put it this way, I’ve been informed that the Chiefs are acting rationally. Whether or not a contract can be reached with Sneed is the most important matter.

The Colts have “executed well over $200 million in contracts THIS WEEK,” the ESPN reporter added.

Destin Adams’ Last Remark on the Rumored L’Jarius Sneed Trade From the Chiefs to the Colts
Adams posted one last post outlining his position after learning of Holder’s position on his report.

Adams wrote, “I’m going to let things work out, but I stand by the information I received from a variety of people here.” “I’ve never released information that I haven’t thoroughly investigated and believe in, and I never will. As I previously stated, I will own up to my mistakes and apologize to everyone on this app if I am found to be incorrect.

He continued, “But I ask everyone to please not attack Stephen or me.” “I want no animosity to come Stephen’s way, but I do respect the work Stephen does tremendously and I appreciate the support so many of you have from me.”

Adams said, “I’m going to enjoy this Saturday morning and afternoon with my family and clock out for a little while.” It will be interesting to watch how this one turns out, as both reporters politely go into their positions.

As of right now, no Chiefs media members have commented with their own reports.
