Report:Kansas city top player is  projected  for 2024 signing

Projecting L’Jarius Sneed’s contract for 2024 and beyond is one of the most pressing issues confronting the Kansas City Chiefs following their Super Bowl victory.

The cornerback contributed significantly to Kansas City’s triumph in 2023. Now that Sneed’s free agency has begun, the Chiefs must determine whether he will be a part of their future, and at what cost.

L’Jarius Sneed Agent Preview

To be fair, Sneed isn’t among the best defensive players in league history. But he’s clearly established himself as a top-tier cornerback. On the free market, he’s expected to land a lucrative contract with a team looking to improve their secondary.

The question is which team will sign Sneed and how much he will make in free agency. Let’s take a closer look at L’Jarius Sneed’s contract status, including which teams are most likely to pursue him and how much he’ll earn as a free agency.

Chiefs

Needless to say, the Chiefs will make a significant attempt to retain Sneed. Using the franchise tag to hold him until 2024 is one option.

However, the Chiefs also have Chris Jones to consider. They may need to utilize the franchise tag on Jones if they do not want to lose him in free agency. This raises the prospect of Sneed hitting the open market this offseason, where any team can bargain with him.

Commanders

As one of the clubs with cap space to spare, the Commanders are an easy choice for Sneed. Washington also has a number of needs, particularly at cornerback, where Kendall Fuller is set to hit free agency.

While the secondary may not be a primary priority, the Commanders have the resources to make a serious push for Sneed.

Eagles

Elsewhere in the NFC East, the Eagles are another possible suitor for Sneed. Cornerbacks Darius Slay and James Bradberry are both starting to age.

With Sneed being in the prime of his career, Philadelphia could look at him as an upgrade, making Slay or Bradberry expendable.

L’Jarius Sneed Contract Projection

Based on some of the comments that Sneed has made this offseason, he expects to get paid. He’s not likely to take a hometown discount to stay with the Chiefs. After all, he already has two Super Bowl rings.

He doesn’t need to chase a championship; he can chase money instead. Most projections have Sneed making between $15 million and $18 million per season.

In the end, he figures to at least get a three-year deal worth $52 million with $30 million guaranteed. However, a four-year deal worth upwards of $70 million could be on the table if there is a bidding war for his services.
