The Tennessee Titans are releasing cornerback L'Jarius Sneed after two seasons with the team, according to a report from ESPN. Sneed, who was acquired from the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024, played in just 12 games for the Titans due to quadriceps injuries and recorded 26 tackles and 3 pass breakups in 2025.

Why it matters

The release of Sneed will provide significant salary cap relief for the Titans, who are looking to retool their roster after missing the playoffs in 2025. Sneed was expected to be a key part of the Titans' secondary but struggled with injuries during his time in Tennessee.

The details

Sneed, a fourth-round pick by the Chiefs in 2020, had 352 tackles, 10 interceptions and 6.5 sacks in 69 career games (66 starts) with the Chiefs and Titans. The Titans will save $11.4 million against the 2026 salary cap and $16.4 million in 2027 by releasing the 29-year-old cornerback.

  • Sneed was acquired by the Titans from the Chiefs in March 2024.
  • Sneed played in just 12 games (all starts) over two seasons with the Titans due to quadriceps injuries.
  • Sneed recorded 26 tackles and 3 pass breakups in 7 games for the Titans in 2025.

The takeaway

The release of L'Jarius Sneed is a cost-cutting move by the Titans as they look to rebuild their roster and salary cap after a disappointing 2025 season. Sneed's inability to stay healthy during his two years in Tennessee made him expendable, and the team will now have significant cap space to address other needs on the team.
