Chiefs Host L'Jarius Sneed for Potential Reunion

The visit lets Kansas City evaluate a short-term, low-cost 'prove-it' signing to add veteran cornerback depth as doctors and coaches assess his health and recent play.

Overview

  • The Chiefs hosted L'Jarius Sneed on Thursday for a free-agent visit, a step teams use to inspect medicals and meet coaches before deciding on a contract.
  • Sneed rose from a 2020 fourth-round pick into a key starter for Kansas City from 2020–2023 and helped the team win two Super Bowls under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
  • Kansas City placed the franchise tag on Sneed in 2024 and then traded him to Tennessee, where the Titans immediately signed him to a four-year, $76.4 million deal.
  • Sneed's two seasons in Tennessee were limited by a quadriceps injury and poor production—he played 12 games, recorded no interceptions, and allowed a 107.7 passer rating—before the Titans released him in March.
  • All criminal charges from a December 2024 Texas incident were dismissed in May 2026, and the Chiefs face a cap and roster calculus that makes a short-term, low-cost signing feasible but unlikely to guarantee Sneed a starting job while younger corners compete.
