The Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans are two of the top teams trying to trade for Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed this offseason, but Sneed's asking price is too high right now, according to a source. For now, Sneed remains with the Chiefs on the $19.8 million franchise tag for 2024. The 27-year-old former fourth-round pick by KC in 2020 out of Louisiana Tech was the No. 37 defensive back in IDP fantasy scoring last year with 78 tackles (60 solo), five tackles for loss, two interceptions, a career-high 14 passes defended and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season starts. Sneed has thrived in defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's scheme in his four years in Kansas City and was a big part of the team's Super Bowl run last year. With the Chiefs focused on an extension for pass-rusher Chris Jones, the likeliest outcome will be Sneed moving to another team this offseason.
The Indianapolis Colts re-signed running back Trey Sermon to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. Sermon will return to the Colts in 2024 after carrying the ball 35 times for 160 yards and no touchdowns while catching three passes for 13 yards in 14 games in his first season with the team in 2023. Right now, the 25-year-old former third-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2021 is next in line behind starter Jonathan Taylor after Zack Moss signed with the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency, but it's likely that the Colts will add to the position through either free agency or the upcoming NFL draft. In his three years in the NFL with the Niners, Eagles and Colts, Sermon has averaged 4.4 yards per carry on 78 rushing attempts for 346 yards and only one score in 25 games (two starts).
Former Cleveland Browns quarterback and NFL Comeback Player of the Year winner Joe Flacco reached an agreement with the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday on a one-year deal worth up to $8.7 million, including $4.5 million guaranteed, according to sources. Flacco came off his couch to unexpectedly lead the Browns to the postseason in 2023, ultimately finishing with 1,616 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions in five starts during the regular season. The 39-year-old veteran will now head to Indy to replace Gardner Minshew as the primary backup for young signal-caller Anthony Richardson, who saw his rookie season come to an end early last year due to a shoulder injury. Given Richardson's propensity to run with the ball, another injury in 2024 could force Flacco back into the spotlight.
Former Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Raekwon Davis signed a two-year, $14 million base-value deal with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, according to his agent, Trevon Smith. After being taken in the second round by Miami in 2020 out of Alabama, Davis has accumulated 129 total tackles (59 solo), only two sacks, five tackles for loss and 10 QB hits in 63 games (48 starts) in four seasons. In all 17 regular-season games in 2023, the 26-year-old interior defensive lineman made seven starts and had 28 tackles (15 solo) and half a sack. Davis figures to be a rotational piece on the interior of Indy's defensive line in 2024 and can be avoided for IDP fantasy purposes.
The Indianapolis Colts re-signed cornerback Kenny Moore to a three-year, $30 million deal on Tuesday that makes him the highest-paid nickel cornerback in the NFL, according to a source. Moore, who was a Pro Bowler for the first and only time in his career in 2021, had 93 total tackles (68 solo), 1.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss, three interceptions (two returned for touchdowns) and six passes defended in 16 starts in 2023 in his seventh season with Indianapolis. It was a rebound from a down year in 2022 in which he only played in 12 contests. The 28-year-old corner finished last year as the No. 12 overall defensive back in IDP fantasy leagues and should be in play as a starter at the position in those setups again in 2024.
