The trade rumors between the Kansas City Chiefs and L’Jarius Sneed gained plenty of steam over the weekend. Many critics believed a deal could be completed soon, and they questioned the details surrounding the alleged conversations.
During his Monday appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, ESPN’s Adam Schefter gave insider comments on the rumored trade scenario.
“The Chiefs have no problems right now playing with him on that tag,” Schefter explained. “He wants a long-term deal. So it’s up to him and his agent to see if they can help broker a deal and structure something to get him the long-term security he wants.
“But no, nothing right now has gotten done. The Colts are not expected to be in on him. The Colts and Chiefs have not discussed a deal for L’Jarius Sneed, at least to date. Could that change? You never know. You never know, but nothing, no conversation between those two teams. And that’s where we’re at right now.”

The Colts and Chiefs have been linked regarding Sneed for a while, and even if a deal isn’t being officially worked on, it is still early in the offseason. Schefter made a notable statement about the Chiefs’ willingness to safely move forward with Sneed on a franchise tag in 2024.
