We’ve seen differing reports on how close the Tennessee Titans — and other teams — were to trading for cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, who remains a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.
But The Athletic’s Dianna Russini clarified things during a recent episode of “The Athletic Football Show”, stating the Titans and Indianapolis Colts were “really close” to completing a trade for Sneed. The holdup, she believes, had to do with Sneed’s contract extension demands.
Russini notes that this came before the Titans signed Calvin Ridley last week, and adds that all trade talks aren’t dead but the chances of Tennessee landing Sneed are “smaller” now. She believes the Colts are the front-runners.

As far as what draft compensation the Titans would’ve sent to Kansas City is concerned, Russini did not say. But clearly the Titans were ready to pull the trigger on what could have been a massive upgrade to their secondary.
