On Friday evening, the deal finally happened: the Kansas City Chiefs traded franchise-tagged cornerback L’Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans.
With this move, Kansas City’s cornerbacks went from arguably being the team’s strongest position to being a solid (but young) group with no veteran presence. While All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie is now the headliner, all of his returning teammates have been at their best when slotted into the third cornerback spot — not the second.
That’s why the position has suddenly become one for which general manager Brett Veach will be considering an update in either free agency or the draft.
