A seasoned cornerback who captured two Super Bowl championships with the Kansas City Chiefs is returning to pursue a third title.
L’Jarius Sneed has agreed to a one-year agreement with Kansas City valued at up to $5 million, according to Monday reports from ESPN.
The defensive back began his professional football journey with the Chiefs, playing his initial four NFL seasons in Kansas City before getting dealt to the Tennessee Titans during spring 2024. However, his tenure in Tennessee proved disappointing, as he appeared in only 12 contests across two seasons without recording a single interception.
Tennessee cut ties with Sneed on March 13, creating approximately $11.4 million in salary cap relief.
During his original stint with Kansas City, Sneed compiled 10 interceptions, 6.5 sacks and 40 pass breakups across 57 appearances, including 54 as a starter. He participated in 13 postseason contests during that four-year period, recorded two sacks in three rookie-year games, and was a starter for the Chiefs squads that captured consecutive Super Bowl titles in the 2022 and 2023 campaigns.
The cornerbacks room Sneed returns to features mostly new faces. Following the free agent signings of Kade Kohou and Kaiir Elam this offseason, Kansas City selected Mansoor Delane as the sixth overall draft choice in April. Delane inked a four-year, $41.9 million deal on Monday.
