The Kansas City Chiefs‘ trade to send cornerback L’Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans is at long last official. While the trade was first reported last week, and Sneed passed his physical on Tuesday, both teams finally announced the news on Friday, March 29.

Kansas City’s goodbye message left Chiefs Kingdom reeling over his departure once more. The Chiefs posted on X, “Came in a rookie, left a two-time Super Bowl champion. It’s been a great run. Thank you for everything, @jay__sneed! .”

In exchange for Sneed, the Chiefs received a 2025 third-rounder, and in a 2024 seventh-round swap, the 221st overall pick, the highest of the Titans’ three seventh-rounders. The Titans posted, “Welcome to Nashville, @jay__sneed! .” While Sneed “liked” the Chiefs’ message, he shared the Titans’ post on his timeline.

Titans general manager Ran Carthon was thrilled to land Sneed. “It’s a huge get,” Carthon said, per team reporter Jim Wyatt. Sneed signed a four-year, $76 million deal with Tennessee, which includes $55 million guaranteed.

Carthon is excited about what Sneed brings to their defense. “It gives you three top-flight corners in him and Chidobe (Awuzie) and Roger (McCreary) that can just flat-out cover people,” he added. “He matches Chido’s energy of being a physical, aggressive corner that can also play in run support.

“You see a lot of the way game is going with the toss crack, and forcing the corners to come up there and play more in run support, and we have guys who are willing to stick their face in there and tackle people.”

Sneed tallied 78 total tackles, 14 passes defensed, and 2 interceptions during the 2023 season. The 27-year-old didn’t allow a single touchdown in coverage.
