It seems like Sneed is staying positive and focused amidst all the speculation. He is reminding everyone that despite the setbacks; he wants to improve himself and chase his dreams. Though it doesn’t spill the beans on his future plans, it hints that he’s open to offers from other NFL teams if the deal is right.
It looks like a bunch of NFL teams are eyeing a trade for L’Jarius Sneed. Tyler Gragon of USA Today says teams such as the Minnesota Vikings, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, and Jacksonville Jaguars are already interested in him. Sneed and the Chiefs have until mid-July to figure out a new contract. If they can’t, the Chiefs have until the 2024 trade deadline to trade him before he becomes a free agent.
Chiefs Fans Worry as Trade Rumors Swirl Around Star Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed
However, Chiefs fans are feeling uneasy after seeing his tweet, hoping the star cornerback stays with their team. Some are calling him the best cornerback and urging him to stick with the Chiefs, while others believe Sneed deserves a good paycheck.
A fan stated,
Everyone saying for him to take a pay cut is ridiculous, if anything pat should take a pay cut as he’s the most compensated player on the team & he’ll be guaranteed hundreds of millions contracts for the rest of his career that’s excluding brand deals outside of football lmao
