The Kansas City Chiefs have the enviable task of challenging for a three-peat, but they need their most outstanding performers to stay with the team to even have a sniff of making it to their third-straight Super Bowl.
For the Chiefs, keeping their key players on defense is critical in ensuring their chances of winning a third Super Bowl in a row are as strong as possible. Keeping their star corner is one way of assuring this happens.
Kansas City Chiefs must franchise tag L’Jarius Sneed for second Super Bowl defense
L’Jarius Sneed was one of the key cogs for the Kansas City Chiefs defense last season. His solid performance in the secondary greatly contributed to the Chiefs’ overperformance on the defensive end that eventually won them Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
Yardbarker’s Michael Gallagher writes that if the Chiefs are serious about their three-peat declaration, they must stop Sneed from going anywhere and keep him a Chief.
While he does cede that it will be too expensive to keep him long-term, having him on the payroll for at least one more season should bolster their chances for a third-straight Lombardi:
Making the money work on a long-term deal with Higgins may be difficult given the kind of raise he’s going to command and the number of other issues Cincy has (Higgins would count for a little under half of the team’s projected $59.6M in cap space), but tagging him ensures Burrow gets one more year to make a run at a Super Bowl with his two best playmakers.
Sneed’s 2023 stat line justifies him getting a big payday this offseason. Through 16 regular-season games, he scored four interceptions, 14 pass deflections, one fumble recovery, 60 solo tackles, and five tackles for loss. His presence in the secondary can shut down one area of the field, which makes defensive game-planning easier for the Kansas City Chiefs.
It’s in the team’s best interests that they do this as soon as possible: there are already rivals linked to his services if they don’t apply the tag on him.
