L'Jarius Sneed, the talented cornerback of the Kansas City Chiefs, has been officially placed under the nonexclusive franchise tag by the team. This move comes after weeks of speculation and discussions between the Chiefs and Sneed's representatives. The franchise tag allows Sneed to engage in talks with other teams, potentially leading to a trade.
For cornerbacks, the franchise tag is set at $19.8 million. This decision was made as the 2023 season marked the final year of Sneed's rookie deal. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his contract, Sneed remained focused on his performance, stating, 'The money's going to come.'
