A reunion might be in the cards in Kansas City
The Chiefs are desperately looking for cornerback help as the NFL season continues to creep closerand they’re now exploring a reunion with a former key cog in two Super Bowl wins who later encountered some legal trouble after leaving town.
Veteran cornerback L’Jarius Sneed is visiting the Chiefs on Thursday, according to ESPN.
Sneed spent four years in Kansas City before being traded to the Tennessee Titans in 2024 for a seventh-round pick, and the team released him this offseason.
His time with the Titans came with legal issues.
Sneed was charged with aggravated assault in 2024, stemming from a shooting at a Texas car dealership.
The charges were then dropped to misdemeanor, and then dropped altogether in May of this year.
Sneed was not too keen on leaving the Chiefs after the 2023 season.
“Yeah, man, I didn’t talk to them. I was upset, man,” he said at the time. “I was upset, you know, Kansas City, that’s like my first love. They showed me the way, showed me how to be a champion, gave me two rings. You know I was bitter. I was angry because I wanted to stay in that environment around everybody who I was used to. But it’s God’s plan.”
Many at the time were shocked that the Chiefs traded away their CB1, who was a key part of the multiple playoff runs.
But the trade looked smart as Sneed struggled over his two years with the Titans due to multiple injuries.
With Sneed now free of the legal issues, the Chiefs are looking to bring back their former star corner after trading Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams.
Sneed had his best year with the Chiefs in 2022, when he tallied three interceptions, 11 passes defended and 108 combined tackles.
He maintained his strong play the next year and won his second Super Bowl.
