A key piece of the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense apparently won’t be in the Super Bowl champion’s secondary in 2024.
The Chiefs and Tennessee Titans were working on finalizing a trade Friday that would send L’Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans for a pair of draft picks.

Sneed will sign a contract with the Titans and the Chiefs will receive a third-rounder in 2025 and a fifth-rounder this year once the deal is finalized.
Sneed had received the franchise tag from Kansas City and after the Chiefs gave Chris Jones a massive contract it seemed highly unlikely KC would be able to fit the cornerback under its salary cap.
Sneed and the Titans will not face his soon-to-be former teammates in 2024.
