Sneed Vows Revenge on Chiefs After Joining Rival Titans

Kansas City, MO – May 16, 2025

Former Kansas City Chiefs star L’Jarius Sneed has sparked controversy by vowing to exact revenge on his ex-team after joining the Tennessee Titans, a familiar rival in high-stakes matchups, sources told ESPN. Sneed’s comments come ahead of a highly anticipated 2025 regular-season showdown.

Sneed, traded to the Titans in March 2024 for a 2025 third-round pick and a 2024 seventh-round swap, signed a four-year, $76.4 million deal with Tennessee. The move stunned Chiefs Kingdom, who once celebrated the cornerback for his pivotal role in their Super Bowl LVII and LVIII victories in 2023 and 2024.

“I’m going to make the Chiefs regret trading me,” Sneed told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. “They’ll see I’m still a major threat.”

The trade left a bitter taste for Sneed, who called the Chiefs his “first love” and expressed heartbreak over the departure. During his five seasons with Kansas City, Sneed made his mark with a crucial pass breakup against the Baltimore Ravens in the 2024 AFC Championship, securing a 17-10 victory en route to Super Bowl LVIII. However, his 2024 season with the Titans was cut short by a quad injury, limiting him to five games with underwhelming performance.

Now fully recovered, the 28-year-old Sneed aims to prove his worth with the Titans. The Chiefs, coming off their Super Bowl LVIII win in 2024, remain a top contender with Patrick Mahomes’ 4,512-yard passing season and Travis Kelce’s 92 receptions. The 2025 matchup at Nissan Stadium promises to be intense, as Sneed seeks to deliver on his revenge pledge.

“We’re ready for L’Jarius,” said general manager Brett Veach. “He’s a fierce competitor, but we’ve moved on.”

Beyond the on-field drama, Sneed faces off-field challenges, including assault allegations stemming from a December 2024 incident involving a deadly weapon. His return to face the Chiefs will be a must-watch showdown, blending personal stakes with high-level competition.
