Titans release CB L'Jarius Sneed, save $11.4M on salary cap The Tennessee Titans officially released cornerback L'Jarius Sneed on Friday, a decision that will free up $11.4 million in salary cap space. The move marks the end of a two-year tenure with the team, during which Sneed faced significant challenges staying on the field due to recurring injuries. Sneed, who had signed a four-year, $76 million contract in 2024 as part of a trade from the Kansas City Chiefs, appeared in just 12 games over his time with the Titans. His career with the team was marred by a series of setbacks, including a knee procedure in May 2024 and a lingering quad injury that kept him on the physically unable to perform list at the start of the 2025 season. Despite efforts to recover, Sneed played only seven games in 2024, recording 26 tackles and three passes defended. A new quad injury during Week 7 of the season forced him to miss the final 10 games after being placed on injured reserve. The Titans have since bolstered their cornerback depth by signing defensive backs Alontae Taylor, Cor'Dale Flott, and Josh Williams during free agency. These additions aim to strengthen the secondary as the team prepares for the 2025 season. General manager Mike Borgonzi acknowledged Sneed’s struggles during the scouting combine, noting that the cornerback was still in rehab for his quad injury. "It was frustrating for him," Borgonzi said, "but he’s continued to work and get himself healthy." Sneed’s career included two Super Bowl championships with the Chiefs, where he was originally drafted in the fourth round in 2020. His departure from Tennessee underscores the team’s commitment to addressing its defensive vulnerabilities while managing financial constraints.#2025_season #kansas_city_chiefs #tennessee_titans #ljarius_sneed #mike_borgonzi
