The Kansas City Chiefs have reportedly traded their standout corner L’Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans. Sneed is expected to sign a long-term extension with the Titans once the move is finalized.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Titans gave up a 2025 third-round pick in exchange for Sneed, while the two teams also swapped seventh-round picks in this year’s draft. 

Since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Chiefs, Sneed established himself as one of the best corners in the league. His best campaign came in 2022, when he had 108 tackles, 3.5 sacks, three interceptions, 11 passes defended, and three forced fumbles.

After a solid outing in 2023, which included 78 tackles, two interceptions, and 14 passes defended, Sneed was set to hit the free agency. The Chiefs were unable to sign Sneed to a new deal, prompting them to place a non-exclusive franchise tag on the Louisiana Tech product.

In recent weeks, the Chiefs made it clear to the rest of the NFL that Sneed was available, but their asking price of a second-rounder proved to be too high for interested parties. The Titans ended up swooping in with a less-desirable offer but one that still managed to push the deal over the finishing line.
