Titans Release L’Jarius Sneed, Clearing $11.4 Million in Cap Space

The cost-cutting decision follows an injury-hit two-year stint after a pricey 2024 trade, positioning the 29-year-old to seek a short-term deal.

Overview

  • Tennessee realizes $11.4 million in 2026 cap savings with Sneed’s release while taking a reported $8.1 million dead-money charge and avoiding a March 16 guarantee.
  • The veteran appeared in 12 games across two seasons for the Titans with recurring quad issues, PUP/IR designations and no interceptions.
  • The move capped a rapid reshaping of the cornerback room, highlighted by deals for Alontae Taylor, Cor’Dale Flott and Joshua Williams under new leadership.
  • Sneed, a two-time Super Bowl winner in Kansas City who signed a four-year, roughly $76 million extension in 2024, now enters free agency after a diminished on-field return.
  • Multiple outlets say teams could inquire pending health evaluations, with the Chiefs, Rams, Cowboys, Bills and Commanders commonly cited as potential suitors, while some observers criticized the timing of the cut.
