Former Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed meets with team, sparking reunion rumors | Fox 4
Following the 2023 season, Sneed signed a massive four-year, $76.4 million deal with the Tennessee Titans. He started just 12 games for the Titans over the last two seasons, though, dealing with injuries for most of his tenure with the team.
Sneed was released back in March of 2026, making him an unrestricted free agent going into the 2026-27 season.
The news of Sneed meeting with his former team is worth noting when considering the Chiefs’ need for bodies in the secondary, even after loading up on defensive talent in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Chiefs rookie Jaydn Ott has one key advantage in a crowded backfield battle | Arrowhead Addict
Ott signed with Kansas City after going unselected in the 2026 NFL Draft. As a rookie free agent, he faces long odds of making the team at all—and even more so after the Chiefs underwent a significant overhaul of the backfield—but it helps that he comes from the same stomping grounds as his new position coach in K.C.
The Chiefs hired Oklahoma’s DeMarco Murray to replace Todd Pinkston as running backs coach this spring, which works in Ott’s favor considering he spent the last year with the Sooners.
So what does Ott bring to the table? The 5-11, 198 lb. running back put up some very strong production with Cal back in 2023 but a rather ugly injury history kept him from repeating those numbers with Oklahoma and, consequently, he was passed over in the draft.
Matt Kenny has been promoted from Executive Vice President of Arrowhead Operations and Events to Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer. In addition, Brandon Hamilton has been elevated from Vice President of Stadium Operations and Facilities to Project Executive, Facilities Development.
“This is an exciting day for the Chiefs as we recognize what Matt, Brandon, and their teams have accomplished, while also looking ahead to the next phase of growth for our organization and this region through continued investment and development,” Chiefs President Mark Donovan said. “We’re confident in Matt’s leadership as we continue to evolve our special events, stadium, practice facility, and real estate initiatives, and Brandon’s experience in venue management and construction positions him well to lead the complex projects and partnerships that will shape our future. We could not be more excited to have Matt and Brandon stepping into these roles.”

The Chiefs are 103 days ahead of their next football game. They are still installing new offensive plays, some of which they’ve literally never used before. And they are still a week shy of mandatory minicamp and seven shy of training camp.
