Two NFL playoff teams from 2023 are reportedly interested in trading for Kansas City Chiefs superstar cornerback L’Jarius Sneed.
Last week, the Chiefs placed the franchise tag on Sneed which prevented him from hitting the free agent market. Kansas City can now negotiate trades for Sneed and ensure they get some draft compensation in return.
According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins are a pair of teams to monitor on the Sneed trade front:
“Cornerback was a popular position of discussion in Indy, most notably for the trade market. We know the Chiefs are working on a potential tag-and-trade with L’Jarius Sneed, and multiple teams are believed to be in the mix there. The word out of Indy is that Detroit is pretty set on adding a high-end corner, so the Lions are one to watch. Miami is worth keeping an eye on, too.”
Sneed played a vital role in helping the Chiefs win their second straight Super Bowl title this past season, tallying two interceptions and 14 pass defenses. Sneed also didn’t allow a single touchdown reception in coverage during the regular season.
The Chiefs would love to keep Sneed in an ideal world, but they’re up against the cap and have another marquee free agent in all-world defensive tackle Chris Jones. But GM Brett Veach has at least guaranteed that Kansas City will not lose Sneed for nothing this offseason.
