Sneed Returns to Chiefs: One-Year Deal!
8 Jun
Summary
- Sneed signs a one-year deal worth $5 million with the Chiefs.
- He was traded to the Titans but struggled with injuries.
- The Chiefs added multiple defensive backs this offseason.
Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed has agreed to a one-year contract valued at $5 million with the Kansas City Chiefs. Sneed, originally a fourth-round pick by the Chiefs, spent four seasons with the team from 2020 to 2023, contributing to two Super Bowl victories.
He was traded to the Tennessee Titans during the 2024 offseason. However, Sneed struggled to meet expectations with the Titans, appearing in only 12 games across the last two seasons due to knee and quad injuries. His chronic knee issues impacted his availability, even before the 2023 season.
At 29 years old, Sneed is expected to compete for a cornerback position on the Chiefs' depth chart. The team has also bolstered its secondary with draft picks and free-agent signings, including Mansoor Delane and Kaiir Elam. There's also a possibility Sneed could transition to safety, a position he played earlier in his career.
