$11.9 Million CB Is Titans Fans’ Worst Living Nightmare
Tennessee Titans cornerback L'Jarius Sneed entered a critical season in 2025 after his 2024 campaign was derailed by injury. Previous Titans GM Ran Carthon acquired Sneed from the Kansas City Chiefs last offseason in exchange for a third-round pick before signing him to a lucrative $76.4 million contract. The oft-injured corner only appeared in five games last year after suffering a tricky quad injury.
Sneed's second offseason in Nashville was marred with concern. Offseason knee surgery prevented him from being an active participant in training camp. And after being on a limited snap count in Week 1, Sneed has played a full workload in three consecutive games.
Despite the excitement surrounding his return, Sneed endured a truly embarrassing moment in Sunday's lifeless Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. After publicly trash talking Texans wide receiver Nico Collins earlier in the week, Sneed allowed him to get behind him for a 37-yard conversion on an unfathomable 2nd-and-33. It was one of several lowlights in a 26-0 shutout.
CB L'Jarius Sneed is Titans' fans worst living nightmare
Pro Football Focus has credited Sneed with a coverage grade of 42.5 through four games. He's allowed 150 yards, one touchdown, and a passer rating of 114.3. Sneed has also committed five penalties, having been whistled for one-plus penalty in three straight appearances.
Current Titans GM Mike Borgonzi inherited Sneed from the previous regime. In fact, Borgonzi played a role in trading him to Tennessee as the Chiefs' assistant GM at the time. It's almost a foregone conclusion that the Titans will jump at the first opportunity to trade or release Sneed.
The Titans could cut Sneed next offseason for cap savings of $11.9 million with a manageable $8.1 million in dead money. When Borgonzi makes the inevitable decision to move on from Sneed, he'll need to acquire at least two starting-caliber cornerbacks following the peculiar Jarvis Brownlee trade.
The Sneed trade could go down as the second-worst in modern Titans history, trailing just the AJ Brown debacle. Fans feared this outcome coming into 2025. Sneed's days with the rebuilding Titans are numbered.
That season opener is in the rear view mirror, and it really seems as if it’s difficult to even remember the Lions losing to the Packers, 27-13. Green Bay who?
The Detroit Lions are 3-1 for the season, and the only team they’ve fallen to so far is the Green Bay Packers. Thankfully, that season opener is in the rear view mirror, and it really seems as if it’s difficult to even remember the Lions losing to the Packers, 27-13. Green Bay who?
Since the start of the season, the Packers have won two games, lost one and tied one. That tie game was a doozie, with the team ending their showdown with the Dallas Cowboys 40-40.
Now, the Lions are bringing a familiar face back onto their roster, and he was once a Packer. This player is familiar with the Detroit Lions, too, so he’s deep into the NFC North.
