Sources: Here are the terms on L'Jarius Sneed’s new contract extension with the #Titans:
$19M APY over 4 years
$55M guaranteed
$55M guaranteed isn’t as much as I expected. If this is the deal, I’m even more annoyed that the Pats didn’t outbid the Titans. The notion that Sneed isn’t that good is nuts. He was a top 5 NFL CB last year and he is a complete CB with a dog mentality who is a winning tackler. Just read the Chiefs fans opinions of him and about this deal. None of them are saying “he ain’t that good anyway” or “he relies on holding to be elite”, despite the fact that he is no longer a Chief. Again, maybe the Pats and other teams had intel that his knee is going to be a chronic issue that needs to be managed going forward. If that’s the case, I am glad that they passed but if not….
Since when is having two CB1s a bad thing? First, if one goes down with an injury, you have another stud to cover the opponent’s top wideout. Also, by the time Gonzo is ready for his big money extension (assuming/hoping that his play last year before his injury is what we can expect from him for years to come), Sneed would only have had one year left on his four year deal and the dead money hit if they wanted to cut him wouldn’t have been a huge number.
