Before the trade to Tennessee, Sneed earned over $5.5 million in his rookie deal. After he was franchise tagged, Sneed was expected to get $19.8 million for the 2024 season. Sneed’s new deal with the Titans should roam around the franchise tag number.
Sneed, 27, is expected to join a new squad that features a new head coach in Brian Callahan. After winning two Super Bowls with the Chiefs, Sneed gets added to a Titans squad who have made a few splashes in free agency. Tennessee added QB Mason Rudolph, running back Tony Pollard, wide receiver Calvin Ridley, linebacker Kenneth Murray and CB Chidobe Awuzie.
Throughout Sneed’s first four seasons in Kansas City, the 2020 fourth-round pick out of Louisiana Tech started in 67 games (including playoffs) recording 11 interceptions, 8.5 sacks, 23 tackles for loss and 15 QB hits.
With Sneed’s exit from the reigning Super Bowl champs, the Chiefs lose a talented corner who built a reputation for disrupting top wide receivers. However, Kansas City was able to retain star Chris Jones this offseason by re-signing him to a five-year, $158.75 million deal. Trent McDuffie is now expected to step in Sneed’s role as the No. 1 cornerback in Kansas City’s depth chart.
