There's been plenty of oxygen devoted to the New England Patriots' offensive needs, and with good reason. The offense was far more responsible for the team's 2023 struggles than a defense that allowed 20 points or fewer in seven different games.
But the defense could use some upgrades as well, and the Patriots apparently have interest in one intriguing option: Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed.
The Chiefs placed the nonexclusive franchise tag on Sneed, which allows him to talk to other teams about a potential trade. According to USA TODAY's Tyler Dragon, seven teams already have expressed in Sneed -- one of which is the Patriots.
