Titans to Release CB L’Jarius Sneed The Tennessee Titans are parting ways with veteran cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The move marks the end of a two-year stint with the team, during which Sneed faced significant challenges due to recurring injuries. The 29-year-old player, who was acquired in a trade in 2024, will not be retained for the 2026 season. Sneed joined the Titans after a successful two-year run with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he contributed to their 2023 Super Bowl victory. However, his time with Tennessee has been limited by health issues. Over the past two seasons, he played in just 12 games combined, with only seven contests available in 2025. During that span, Sneed recorded 26 total tackles and three passes defensed. The Titans’ decision to release Sneed comes with financial implications. The team will save $11.4 million in salary cap space for 2026, though they will face an $8.1 million dead cap charge. Additionally, the move will free up $16.4 million in cap space for 2027, with a $4.1 million dead cap charge. These figures reflect the long-term financial impact of releasing a player with a multi-year contract. Sneed’s career has been defined by his defensive prowess. Drafted in the fourth round in 2020, he has accumulated 43 passes defensed and 10 interceptions across 69 NFL games. His ability to disrupt opposing offenses made him a valuable asset during his peak years, though injuries have hampered his consistency. The Titans’ decision underscores the team’s focus on addressing their defensive needs through more reliable options. With Sneed’s release, the club will likely explore other avenues to bolster its secondary, particularly as they aim to compete in the league’s increasingly competitive landscape.#kansas_city_chiefs #adam_schefter #tennessee_titans #l_jarius_sneed #super_bowl_2023
