Tennessee Titans Trade for Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed from the Minnesota Vikings

Titans Bolster Secondary with Pro Bowl Cornerback

The Tennessee Titans have acquired cornerback L'Jarius Sneed from the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a 2024 second-round draft pick, the teams announced on Tuesday.

Sneed a Proven Playmaker

Sneed, 26, is a two-time Pro Bowler and has emerged as one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL since being drafted by the Chiefs in 2019. Known for his athleticism, instincts, and tackling ability, Sneed has recorded 10 interceptions, 35 pass deflections, and 3 forced fumbles in his career.

Last season with the Vikings, Sneed started all 17 games and had 3 interceptions, 9 pass deflections, and 67 tackles. His addition to the Titans' secondary gives them a much-needed boost and makes them a legitimate contender in the AFC South.

Titans Defense Gets Stronger

The Titans' defense ranked 14th in the NFL in passing yards allowed last season, but they struggled against the run, giving up the second-most rushing yards in the league.

With Sneed in the lineup, the Titans' passing defense should improve significantly. He will form a formidable duo with All-Pro cornerback Kristian Fulton and give Tennessee one of the top cornerback tandems in the NFL.

Conclusion

The trade for Sneed is a major move for the Titans and a sign of their commitment to building a championship-caliber team. Sneed is a proven playmaker who will make the Titans' defense more difficult to pass against.

The Titans now have a strong foundation on both sides of the ball and are poised to make a deep playoff run in 2023.
