The Chiefs have officially traded cornerback L’Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans. Both teams have confirmed the trade, with the Titans giving up their 2025 third-round draft pick in exchange for Sneed. Additionally, the two teams are swapping seventh-round picks in the upcoming draft.
Sneed was drafted by the Chiefs in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL draft and has since become a full-time starter for the team. The Titans are expected to sign Sneed to a four-year, $76 million contract, with hopes that he will be a valuable starter for years to come in Tennessee.
The Chiefs made this decision rather than letting him walk in free agency, ultimately receiving a better return for him. If they had allowed him to sign elsewhere as a free agent, they would have only received a 2025 compensatory pick at the end of the third round. By trading Sneed, they were able to secure a higher third-round pick in 2025 and move up in this year’s seventh round.
