Veteran cornerback L'Jarius Sneed won two Super Bowl rings with the Kansas City Chiefs. Now he's back to try to earn a third.

Sneed is back in Kansas City on a one-year contract worth up to $5 million, ESPN reported Monday.

Sneed spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Chiefs before being traded to the Tennessee Titans in the spring of 2024. But he failed to make an impact in Tennessee, where he played just 12 games over two seasons with zero interceptions.

The Titans released Sneed on March 13, which saved about $11.4 million in cap space.

In Kansas City, Sneed amassed 10 interceptions, 6.5 sacks and 40 pass breakups over 57 games (54 starts). He made 13 playoff starts in those four years, had two sacks in three games as a rookie and started for the Chiefs teams that won back-to-back Super Bowls in the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

Sneed won't see many familiar faces in Kansas City's cornerbacks room. After signing Kade Kohou and Kaiir Elam as free agents during the offseason, the Chiefs drafted Mansoor Delane with the sixth overall pick in April. Delane signed a four-year, $41.9 million contract on Monday.
