L’Jarius Sneed’s downfall could set up a perfect low-cost Chiefs return | Arrowhead Addict
Sneed is currently two years into a four-year contract negotiated with the Titans following a trade to Nashville by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024. The Chiefs secured a third-round pick from Tennessee in exchange for Sneed, who had received the franchise tag by K.C. general manager Brett Veach. That allowed the Chiefs some level of control over Sneed’s future, and the Titans, at the time, were happy to pay for Sneed’s services.
The Titans’ hope is that Sneed would help to reinvent a soft secondary that needed the sort of lockdown presence he’d provided the Chiefs pass defense during championship runs during his four seasons with the team. However, Sneed had health issues from the outset and things only spiraled out of control from there.
To date, Sneed has played in an average of 6 games per season for the Titans after dealing with quad and knee injuries that limited him for long stretches in both 2024 and 2025. Even when on the field, however, Sneed’s presence wouldn’t be described as incredibly impactful. Instead, the Titans have lived with buyer’s remorse for most of the marriage.
Why Reid Waiting Could Be a Good Thing for Chiefs | Sports Illustrated
In addition to the four paths his offensive-coordinator decision could take, Path No. 5 has yet to surface – although it might be rocketing like a missile launched from a submarine.
Matt LaFleur has won 79 games in seven seasons (2019-25) as Packers head coach. But Green Bay dropped a 31-27 playoff game in disappointing fashion on Saturday night, blowing a 21-3 lead. And with John Harbaugh getting ready to kick off a week of serious interviews, the Packers may want to enter the fray.
If that happens and the Packers do move on from LaFleur, Reid’s patience could be rewarded. The Chiefs head coach said Monday he wasn’t in a hurry to make any moves regarding his offensive coordinator, noting he had internal and external candidates.
And if LaFleur becomes an external candidate for Reid, that likely won’t happen for a few weeks. LaFleur certainly would interview for many of the vacant head-coach roles before settling for offensive-coordinator openings.
