The Tennessee Titans have released cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, a former Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Cincinnati Bengals are reportedly interested in signing Sneed, who could provide depth and experience to their secondary as a nickel cornerback.
Why it matters
The Bengals have made some solid defensive additions this offseason, but still have holes to fill, including at the nickel cornerback position. Sneed, who has experience playing both boundary and nickel corner, could be a cost-effective option to bolster the Bengals' defensive backfield.
The details
Sneed, a former fourth-round pick, spent the first three seasons of his career with the Chiefs, where he won a Super Bowl in 2022. He then signed with the Titans in 2023, but struggled as a boundary cornerback, earning a career-low PFF grade of 36.3 in 2024. The Bengals could look to sign Sneed and utilize him in the nickel role, where he has found more success in the past.
- The Titans released Sneed on March 13, 2026.
