The Kansas City Chiefs are reuniting with one of the key pieces of their recent championship defenses, agreeing to a one-year contract worth up to $5 million with veteran cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The move brings Sneed back to the franchise that selected him in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft and helped develop him into one of the NFL’s top defensive backs. Sneed spent his first four NFL seasons in Kansas City, becoming a cornerstone of defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s unit.

The Chiefs and L'Jarius Sneed are reuniting on a one-year, $5 million contract that gives the veteran cornerback a reset after an injury-plague tenure in Tennessee while bringing some depth and stability to the Kansas City defensive backfield. The move came as the Chiefs opened their three-day mandatory minicamp Tuesday. Sneed was a fourth-round pick of the Chiefs in 2020 who quickly earned a starting job and eventually helped the franchise win two Super Bowls.
