Report: Sneed draws trade interest from Lions, 6 others

The Kansas City Chiefs have received interest from several teams regarding the availability of cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, sources told USA Today's Tyler Dragon.

The Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, and Tennessee Titans are among the teams to express interest.

The Chiefs placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Sneed and granted the 27-year-old permission to seek a trade.

Kansas City general manager Brett Veach said the team was hopeful that it could retain both Sneed and defensive tackle Chris Jones. However, Jones is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year on March 13.

The two-time Super Bowl winner is aiming to land a new deal after a stellar campaign in 2023. Sneed didn't surrender a touchdown as the closest defender during the regular season, while often matching up against the opposition's top receiver, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher.

Sneed has recorded 40 passes defended, 10 interceptions, and four forced fumbles in 57 games with the Chiefs.
