Cornering the Market

The Tennessee Titans’ offseason spending spree continued with the acquisition of cornerback L’Jarius Sneed in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. The transaction did not cost the Titans much in terms of what they sent to the Chiefs, but they did agree to a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension with Sneed. … The trade not only solidifies Tennessee’s depth chart at the position, it gives them arguably their best group of cornerbacks in recent memory. And given what Sneed accomplished in his years with Kansas City, he has a chance to be the franchise’s best cornerback of the Titans era. …The additions of Sneed and fellow cornerback Chidobe Awuzie do not mean that Carthon and Co. are done restocking the secondary. There are plenty of veteran safeties available, and it seems likely the Titans eventually will add one of them. … The Los Angeles Chargers currently have the fifth overall pick in the 2024 draft, and their coach, Jim Harbaugh, has indicated that he would like to build his team’s offensive line. Given the Titans’ needs up front, it is possible that the Chargers could have a major impact on what Tennessee does with its first pick, No. 7 overall. … The NFL announced a major change to kickoff rules this week based on what took place last spring in the XFL. The idea is to make it a more exciting play than it has been in recent years but far less dangerous than it has been historically.
