Kansas City Chiefs encounter unexpected problem for L’Jarius Sneed’s future

The cornerback is set to become a free agent

L’Jarius Sneed was a key defensive player for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023, when they defeated the San Francisco 49ers to win Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. However, there may be a single issue that may cause the Chiefs to lose Sneed.

The cornerback, who turns 27 in January, is in great demand and may be eligible for free agency during the NFL offseason. He wants to earn a larger salary than the $3.9 million he just received in Missouri.

However, according to Sportskeeda, a persistent knee ailment might jeopardize that, since other firms would consider it a warning sign.

As no one wants to commit money to someone whose career may end unexpectedly, it could limit the pay offer or even the duration of the contract.

So, a medical will be necessary for any deal. This truly happens frequently in sports and helps front offices determine whether to proceed with a deal or how they decide how to organize a contract.

Chiefs making sure they close a deal
Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz claims that Sneed has been given the franchise tag by the Chiefs. This will enable him to pursue a trade while also costing them $19 million for the 2024 season.

The Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, and Philadelphia Eagles are the three clubs who are supposedly interested in the superb defense; however, it is unclear to what degree these teams are interested.

Teams are reportedly interested in the cornerback, but none more than the Atlanta Falcons. The Chiefs, who picked the 2020 CB, are reportedly willing to trade their two-time Super Bowl winner.

However, after teasing a transfer on social media with a tweet that was liked by Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith, he could truly desire to play for the team. He plays with the Eagles alongside three of his collegiate colleagues.
