L'Jarius Sneed's future with the Tennessee Titans is uncertain, with the possibility of him being cut due to legal troubles and a disappointing first season. Sneed faces a $1 million lawsuit stemming from a December shooting incident in Texas, and the Titans could decide to cut ties with him to avoid the ongoing legal drama and the financial implications of his contract.
Here's a more detailed look:
Legal Issues:
Sneed is facing a $1 million lawsuit related to a shooting incident at a car dealership in Texas. He is accused of shooting at a man from a Lamborghini, and his mother and assistant are also allegedly involved in threats to the plaintiff.
Frustrating First Season:
Sneed's first season with the Titans was marred by injuries and limited playing time. He played in only five games before going on injured reserve with a quadriceps injury.
Contract Implications:
Sneed is under contract with the Titans for four years, with $55 million guaranteed. Cutting him would result in a significant financial hit for the team, with a $31 million dead money charge if released immediately, or $8.1 million if released next offseason.
Potential for Chiefs Reunion:
Sports Illustrated reports that the Kansas City Chiefs, who traded Sneed to the Titans, could be interested in re-signing him if he is released, reports Sports Illustrated. They previously had a strong interest in Sneed and were nervous about his knee injury.
Titans' Decision:
The Titans will weigh the legal situation, the financial ramifications, and the potential impact on their roster when deciding on Sneed's future.
