Sneed’s contract extension was just a matter of time after he was traded to the Titans from Kansas City. The Titans now have a primere corner to strengthen their defense for the long haul after it was lacking talent at corner the past several seasons.

The Tennessee Titans are acquiring Kansas City Chiefs CB L'Jarius Sneed in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick and a 2024 seventh-round pick swap.

Sneed has emerged as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL in recent years, helping lead the Chiefs' secondary to consecutive Super Bowl victories. Kansas City has to be selective about where it spends its money and opted for a tag-and-trade with Sneed, though the compensation is likely not what K.C. initially hoped for. Sneed, a former fourth-rounder, has 10 interceptions and 40 passes defended in four seasons along with 303 tackles and 6.5 sacks. He's expected to sign a deal with Tennessee in the four-year, $76 million range.

The Kansas City Chiefs are officially placing their franchise tag on CB L'Jarius Sneed, but they're also working on a potential tag-and-trade move that could send him elsewhere.

With Sneed set to hit free agency and the Chiefs having to be particular about where they allocate their resources, it might not be in Kansas City's best interest to retain Sneed despite being the star CB he's become. As a result, they are likely trying to get something in return instead of losing him for nothing. Sneed was permitted to seek out a trade partner, and Detroit and Miami were listed as rumored destinations heard in Indianapolis by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The tag costs a little over $19 million. The two sides will look to work out an extension and if they're not able to, the Chiefs could look to trade Sneed as was previously reported.

The Chiefs are expected to place the franchise tag on L'Jarius Sneed and are open to a trade if a long-term deal can't be reached.

Fowler added that Sneed agreed to the scenario, allowing him to talk to other teams in the meantime. Sneed was one of the top overall defensive players for the Chiefs this past season, so losing him would be a big deal. This remains a situation to monitor.
