The Tennessee Titans have officially acquired former Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed through a trade that involved the Titans giving up their 2025 third-round draft pick to the Chiefs, as well as swapping seventh-round picks in the upcoming draft. This move by the Chiefs was strategic, as they were able to get a better return for Sneed by trading him rather than letting him walk in free agency.
Sneed was originally drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL draft and quickly made an impact in Kansas City, becoming a full-time starter for the team. The Titans are eager to sign Sneed to a lucrative four-year, $76 million contract, showing their confidence in his abilities as a long-term starter for their defense.
By franchise tagging and trading Sneed, the Chiefs were able to secure a higher draft pick in 2025 and move up in this year’s draft, ensuring they got the most value out of the transaction. The Titans, on the other hand, see Sneed as a key player for their defense moving forward and are excited to have him on board for the foreseeable future.
