The Tennessee Titans reportedly have agreed to a blockbuster trade to bring L'Jarius Sneed, one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, over from the Kansas City Chiefs to Nashville.

Sneed, 27, had 10 interceptions and 40 passes defended in four seasons with the Chiefs. He allowed the sixth-lowest passer rating when targeted of any NFL cornerback last season, secured the fifth-most pass breakups and ranked in the top 20 in allowing the fewest receptions per coverage snap. He was also the NFL's most penalized cornerback, drawing 18 flags in 2023.

According to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Titans are giving the Chiefs a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft in exchange for Sneed, and the teams are swapping seventh-round picks in 2024. The Titans also are expected to sign Sneed to an extension once the trade is finalized, pending a physical.

A former fourth-round pick out of Louisiana Tech, Sneed played a key part in the Chiefs' back-to-back Super Bowl championships. He made seven tackles, with two pass breakups, in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023, and had three tackles and a pass breakup against the San Francisco 49ers in 2024.

The performance against San Francisco came after Sneed forced a key fumble in Kansas City's AFC championship game win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Sneed isn't the first person the Titans have brought in this offseason to fix their ailing secondary. They hired defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, a longtime defensive backs coach who helmed top-ranked secondaries in Philadelphia and Baltimore before signing with the Titans. And they added veteran cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, formerly of the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals, to play alongside returning starter Roger McCreary.

In addition, the Titans have signed quarterback Mason Rudolph, running back Tony Pollard, receiver Calvin Ridley, offensive linemen Lloyd Cushenberry and Saahdiq Charles, defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph and linebacker Kenneth Murray to go along with several re-signings.
