Chiefs Re-Sign L'Jarius Sneed on One-Year Deal Worth Up to $5 Million

Adding veteran depth to a retooled secondary, the one-year signing gives Sneed a chance to prove his health and re-establish his value after injury-hit seasons in Tennessee.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets and Sneed’s agents confirmed Monday that the Kansas City Chiefs agreed to a one-year contract for the cornerback worth up to $5 million.
  • The Katz Brothers, Sneed’s agents, verified the deal after the player visited the team for a medical check and workout late last week.
  • Sneed was a key starter for the Chiefs from 2020–2023, totaling 10 interceptions and helping Kansas City win back-to-back Super Bowls before he was traded to Tennessee in 2024.
  • His two seasons with the Titans were limited by knee and quadriceps problems and produced just 12 games played, leading to his March 2026 release and availability as a low-risk signing.
  • The move gives Kansas City familiar veteran leadership behind rookie Mansoor Delane and other new additions while leaving the main questions about Sneed’s role tied to his durability and performance in training camp.
