The Tennessee Titans have released cornerback L’Jarius Sneed in a move that clears $11.4 million in salary cap space after injuries limited the former Kansas City Chiefs standout to twelve games across two seasons in Nashville according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The decision underscores the Tennessee Titans’ attempt to reset their secondary after injuries disrupted Sneed’s tenure following a trade from the Kansas City Chiefs where he helped win two Super Bowl titles.
Sneed signed a four year $76 million contract with Tennessee after the twenty twenty four trade but struggled with knee and quadriceps injuries that repeatedly sidelined him team officials said.
He appeared in seven games last season recording twentysix tackles and three passes defended before another quad injury in Week seven against the New England Patriots ended his season.
Mike Borgonzi general manager of the Tennessee Titans said at the National Football League scouting combine that Sneed had continued rehabilitation and worked to regain health.
Football finance analyst Joel Corry a former NFL agent said releasing Sneed reflects the financial realities of roster construction when injuries limit player availability.
Contract and availability issues shaped the Titans’ decision.
Team officials said younger defensive backs including Alontae Taylor Cor’Dale Flott and Josh Williams are expected to compete for expanded roles in the secondary. This offseason.
