The Indianapolis Colts missed out on acquiring cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, who eventually went to the division-rival Tennessee Titans in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs.
While Colts fans certainly vented their frustrations with the team missing out on the chance to add a premier defender at a position of need, wide receivers coach Reggie Wayne isn’t feeling all that pressed about it.
In response to former Titans wide receiver Nate Washington’s reaction of the trade, Wayne made it clear he’s not worried about it.

While Wayne’s focus on the wide receiver class coming up in the draft can get fans excited, there is a pretty glaring hole at the cornerback position the Colts will need to fill.
Even with a strong group of cornerbacks entering the league via the 2024 draft class, relying on another young starter in the secondary brings concern for a unit that was without depth in 2023. There are stop-gap options in free agency, but those options are limited and dwindling.
The likes of Terrion Arnold, Kool-Aid McKinstry and Quinyon Mitchell provide hope for the future, but there’s a chance the Colts will need to add a veteran to the mix as well.
