Sneed joined Tennessee last offseason in a cost-avoiding move by the Chiefs, who had placed the franchise tag on him before finding a trade partner<\/a> in the Titans.<\/p>\n

A pivotal part of Kansas City’s most recent two Super Bowls, Sneed was expected to help close the skies in Tennessee, which had finished 2023 as a middle-of-the-road defense.<\/p>\n

Instead, Sneed never got fully going. He managed just 23 tackles without a pass defensed or interception across five contests before getting knocked out for the year. The Titans thereafter fell to the league’s 30th-ranked D in scoring, allowing more passing yards than all but six other clubs.<\/p>\n

The Titans didn’t make any major moves at the cornerback position this offseason, instead waiting for Sneed to mend to try a do-over at helping transform Tennessee’s secondary into a top unit.<\/p>\n

He had 10 career interceptions, 40 passes defensed, 6.5 sacks and four forced fumbles before getting traded; he’ll serve as a major asset Tennessee can deploy in a number of ways as it looks to provide rookie QB Cam Ward<\/a> with as much support as possible by limiting points from opponents.<\/p>\n

As long as he stays healthy, Sneed should make good on his mission to remind the league who he is — the Titans will be counting on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sneed joined Tennessee last offseason in a cost-avoiding move by the Chiefs, who had placed the franchise tag…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172363,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[1227,7,5551,88,6,609,4267,526,394,2411,527],"class_list":{"0":"post-172362","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-around-the-nfl","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-ljarius-sneed","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-no-minute","14":"tag-offseason-news","15":"tag-tennessee","16":"tag-tennessee-titans","17":"tag-tennesseetitans","18":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114776726949298895","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
