Following the Chiefs' decision to franchise tag Sneed last week, barring him from hitting the free-agent market, trade talks have intensified. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins are actively involved in discussions regarding Sneed's acquisition:
"Cornerback discussions were prevalent in Indy, particularly in the trade market. We know the Chiefs are exploring a potential tag-and-trade scenario with L'Jarius Sneed, and multiple teams are reportedly in contention. Word has it that Detroit is keen on bolstering their cornerback ranks, making the Lions a team to watch. Miami is also in the mix and worth monitoring."
Sneed played a pivotal role in the Chiefs' back-to-back Super Bowl triumphs, showcasing his prowess with two interceptions and 14 pass defenses in the latest campaign. Notably, he didn't yield a single touchdown reception in regular-season coverage.
While the Chiefs harbor a desire to retain Sneed, fiscal constraints and the impending free agency of star defensive tackle Chris Jones have complicated matters. However, General Manager Brett Veach has ensured that Kansas City won't lose Sneed without securing compensation this offseason.
