  • The Detroit Lions are considered a top destination for Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, who has been placed on the non-exclusive franchise tag.
  • Sneed's potential trade comes as the Chiefs aim to manage their salary cap, with a focus on retaining both Sneed and defensive tackle Chris Jones.
  • The franchise tag for Sneed is set at $19.8 million, reflecting his value after a standout season where he regularly covered opponents' top receivers.
  • The Lions' interest in Sneed highlights their ongoing efforts to strengthen their secondary, following injuries to key defensive signings last season.
