L’Jarius Sneed’s shocking trade on Friday night from the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs to the Tennessee Titans stunned NFL fans. Sneed, 27, is expected to make an average of $19 million over the course of four years, with a guaranteed $55 million. The transfer will become official if he passes his medical.
The Chiefs won their second consecutive Super Bowl last season thanks to the play of the star cornerback.
In the fourth quarter of the NFL Conference Championship game, he made a spectacular stop on Zay Flowers of the Baltimore Ravens, striking the ball out of his hand as he leaped for a touchdown. That play stood out to him.
However, he will now be playing in Tennessee the next season. As the shockwaves began to ripple across the NFL, supporters quickly realized that this is a huge blow for the Chiefs.
He was the primary cause of their three-peat! It’s finished. This was the end of the dynasty. Watch in eleven months,” a fan on X remarked. “Chiefs got robbed in broad daylight,” another commenter said. However, it was a historic occasion for the Tennessee fans of a team who has never won a Super Bowl and missed the playoffs the previous season. Following my Titans’ acquisition of L’Jarius Sneed from the Kansas City Chiefs in a trade, I’m finding it difficult to go asleep. I’m looking forward to 2024 already. One Tennessee Titans fan remarked, “What a free agency season for my Tennessee Titans.”
The revelation shocked an Atlanta Falcons fan, who posted on X, saying, “I think the Chiefs trading L’Jarius Sneed should be breaking news today.” Too many wide receivers disappeared from the playoffs because he was on his own island. Following the Chiefs’ victory over the 49ers, Sneed made it plain that he was looking for a large salary, either from the Chiefs or another team.
A few days following the Vegas victory, he appeared on the Up & Adams program and was asked if he had any advice for general manager Bret Veach as he got closer to free agency. Pay me, Sneed commanded. “Pay me, please.” That’s all I have to say: “Pay me.” Chidobe Aquzie, a cornerback, was already signed by the Titans during free agency. This offseason, they also acquired running back Tony Pollard, center Lloyd Cushenberry, and wide receiver Calvin Ridley to the squad.
