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.


There is actually a lot out there right now on this possibility:

If he's cut and the chiefs sign him, whatever the contract he signs with the chiefs is what the chiefs will pay him. Titans don't pick anything up, it's already paid when he's cut.

Offset language states that if the player gets $2 mil in guarantees on a contract from a new team, the team that cut him gets back $2 mil.

So the chiefs would still be paying the total of whatever they sign him for.

What he's talking about is a traded contract.

This answers my first question. They just signed him last year. 31 million dead cap. They could wait until after the June 30th? date to split it over another year.

How bad could he have been? I think you'd have to be a team cancer for me to cut you under these circumstances. Not just disappointing play

Sounds like Tennessee would only take an $8.1 million dead cap hit if he's cut after June 1st.

I love Sneed and what he did for us, but do we really want to have him take up a roster spot with his knee being dodgy?

[Wisconsin_Chief]

So we got 4 amazing years out of him, fleeced the Titans for a 3rd and now might get him back for pennies, assuming we even want him because we’re so disgustingly loaded in the secondary?

Does it get any better than being a fan of this organization? I expect the same situation for Tyreek in another year as well. Maybe we can let him come back and return punts for us, won’t be many balls to go around with Worthy, Rice and Royals out there, though.

That's next off season after the Chiefs win the Super Bowl.

The June-1 cut just spreads the 31 million out

Patriots special.

Jeezus, let it go. He balled out for us and SB’s… he got his $$$ and both sides benefited. Sure, getting back together with an old flame sounds great but you know it don’t work out like it did the first time…

Sneed was very hurt after we didn't give him a new contract and admitted he would miss his friends in the locker room. He's still only 28 and has vast experience in Spags's system so it would be an absolute no brainer to bring him back on a free. Hell during our last championship triumph it was Sneed doing all the talking in the huddles so he was clearly a big influence in that room.

Fulton
Mcduffie
Sneed
Williams
Watson

Would be a crazy DB room tbh. We'll see if the Titans are brave enough to do it or not.

Sneed isn’t a crybaby bitch, like LeBron or Angel
