The Kansas City Chiefs are sending one of their best players to a conference foe.
With star L’Jarius Sneed landing with the Tennessee Titans, they get an elite piece to bolster their secondary defense to start the post-Mike Vrabel era.
With that in mind, star DE Jeffery Simmons took to Twitter to rave about this move (via Adam Schefter).

The Titans got one of the best players available for a very reasonable price.
They will only have to send a future third-round pick and a 2024 seventh-round pick swap to get him.
Sneed will later sign a multi-year deal with the organization, and the move will free up almost $20 million in cap space for the Chiefs, with the deal only pending a physical.
He’s now expected to be one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in NFL history, with a four-year deal in place.
Sneed is coming off the best season of his career in 2023.
The former fourth-round pick was elite in man-to-man coverage, handling the opposition’s best receiver in almost two-thirds of his team’s defensive snaps.
In 57 regular-season appearances, he’s logged 40 passes defended and ten interceptions.
The Titans’ defense was already good, but it’s now become scary good, and Jeffery Simmons knows it.
