Trade: Chiefs are finalizing a deal to send franchise CB L’Jarius Snead to the Titans, per league sources.
Chiefs are expected to receive a 2025 3rd-round pick, in addition to a 2024 7th-round pick flop, while Snead will sign a new contract. Trade is pending physical for Sneed. pic.twitter.com/GWjyKAgxZq

By whom?
Most everyone recognizes that he's been immensely valuable to this squad. 2nd on the defensive staff only to Spags.
Now if you want to say that some think Cullen is more valuable thus underrating Merritt, I guess I'd listen. But then again, there's also a fair bit of merit to that position. We've seen Spags coach up DBs literally his entire career. Meanwhile our DL got better almost as soon as Cullen was hired.
But ultimately that's picking nits - I think almost everyone understands that Merritt has been a key cog to our defensive resurgence. [Reply]
Still love Sneed, but he's def NOT playing at the level he did last year. Got beat quite a bit today, while Jaylen Watson has been nails.
I am legit starting to wonder what it is we're doing different here with schemes and coaching because Sneed was a beast last year, but we look to be BETTER this year on defense. Wild. [Reply]
Like others have said, I don't really get why the Titans traded for Sneed when they clearly aren't in position to contend. Maybe they thought Levis was the real deal? Cause if so, boy did that fucking blow up in their faces LOL. [Reply]

Anytime a team is throwing away draft picks for trades when they aren't pushing up next to a SB you gotta wonder wtf is going on in the front office unless it's for a difference maker at like QB [Reply]
The way the Titans are playing, I'm feeling a little better about the 3rd round pick. It's looking like it could fall between 65-70. I root against them every week just in hopes of getting a better draft pick out of Sneed. [Reply]

Yup. Gonna be a high third for corner play that didn't fall off [Reply]
Almost as if the chiefs knew that the top 10% of his game was scheme and coaching, so they opted not to over pay and continue developing. WEIRD. [Reply]

Dude. He’s still a straight up lockdown guy on opponent top WRs.

Much better than when they traded Dee Ford to the 49ers and they went to the Superbowl. Got the 2nd worst possible pick in the round and had to see Ford go the Superbowl after costing us the trip to the Superbowl the previous year. [Reply]
