The NFL off season is in full swing and many players are now looking for their next option. The Philadelphia Eagles are a team that is looking to add some talent on the defensive side of the ball after a terrible end to their season. Now it is being reported that many players on the team are heavily recruiting a Kansas City Chiefs star to come join the team.
Philadelphia Eagles Players Want L’Jarius Sneed
The star corner back is coming off back to back Super Bowls with the Chiefs and if not for his spectacular play throughout the playoffs, the team may not have won the big game. He made crucial plays in clutch situations and now he has made it very clear that he wants to get paid.
According to Matt Hladik Of The Spun,
“Last weekend, Sneed raised some eyebrows when he posted a picture on Instagram of himself doing a flying gesture accompanied by an eagle emoji. The Philadelphia Eagles are looking for help at cornerback, so Sneed would be a strong fit.”
It appears that there is mutual interest from both parties. Obviously the Eagles would love to get one of the best corners in the NFL as they had huge struggles at that position. Pairing Sneed with Darius Slay could turn their corner back room from one of the worst last season to one of the best. Now it appears Sneed is also interested in joining the team.
L’Jarius Sneed Played With 3 Philadelphia Eagles Players In College
Sneed is now being heavily recruited to the Eagles by many of his former college teammates who play for the team. Tony Pauline had the inside scoop on the mutual interest between Sneed and the team.
“I’m told three of Sneed’s college teammates from Louisiana Tech, who are presently on the Eagles roster, are actively recruiting the cornerback to come to Philadelphia via text messages and other methods,” Pauline wrote. “Running back Boston Scott, defensive lineman Milton Williams and tight end Griffin Herbert all played with Sneed at Louisiana Tech and are pushing their former teammate to sign with the Eagles if he hits the open market.”
This would be a match made in heaven as the Eagles need an elite corner and Sneed is looking for a new place to play. If he ends of leaving the Chiefs that would be a huge blow to their defense.
