On Tuesday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that the Kansas City Chiefs are ‘prepared’ to place the franchise tag on cornerback L’Jarius Sneed.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport echoed these reports on Wednesday but stated that the team hasn’t officially tagged Sneed, but is expected to before the March 5 deadline. The 27-year-old cornerback has been given permission to seek a trade.
With a Chris Jones’ extension on the horizon, Sneed’s days in Kansas City may be numbered, as the cornerback could warrant a contract north of $20 million annually.
The former fourth-round selection was a marquee contributor to a Chiefs’ team that accomplished back-to-back championships, forming one of the best secondary units in the NFL in 2023.
While Sneed’s status remains up in the air, here are a few teams that could acquire Kansas City’s star defensive back.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles arguably had the worst secondary in the league this past season, and Sneed would fix those issues on the back end. Philadelphia’s late-season collapse fell on the shoulders of Philadelphia’s pass defense. The defense finished 31st in passing yards allowed, 26th in total yards allowed and 30th in points allowed, while making a midseason change at defensive coordinator.
In 2023, Sneed proved to be a lockdown corner, developing a reputation for sticky coverage and stifling opposing go-to wideouts.
Cornerbacks Darius Slay and James Bradberry are aging commodities who each saw their play drastically drop off last season. Philadelphia’s secondary cannot be anchored by two players who are over the age of 30.
The Eagles do not possess many weaknesses, but cornerback is a void that must be filled if Philadelphia wants to compete in the NFC.
Look for the Eagles to be majorly aggressive in addressing the cornerback position this offseason. Acquiring Sneed and drafting another secondary player early in the draft could do wonders for this defense, which is led by an elite pass rush.
