The Los Angeles Rams should consider adding depth to their cornerback room by adding another former Chiefs champion.
The Los Angeles Rams entered the offseason with one major weakness on their roster: the cornerback position.
It was a clear issue in the 2025 season and part of the reason they fell short in the NFC Championship game to their bitter rivals, the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams quickly addressed that position by adding a pair of former Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl champions, All-Pro Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson.
Although they upgraded the cornerback spot, Los Angeles could still use some depth. The Rams added to that group, but they also lost some key players like Cobie Durant and Roger McCreary.
Because of that, the Rams should consider adding another former Chiefs champion, cornerback L'Jarius Sneed.
Sneed was recently released by the Tennessee Titans after spending the last two seasons in Nashville. Before his time in Tennessee, he spent his first four seasons of his career in Kansas City.
The Titans saved $11.4 million against the salary cap in 2026 by releasing Sneed.
Now, he is a free agent with a chance for any team to snag him up. Although the Rams don't need to add another cornerback, a potential addition of Sneed could provide more firepower and depth to Chris Shula's defense.
Sneed has struggled with injuries in the past two seasons, playing in only a total of 12 games for the Titans. He was expected to be the difference maker to the team's secondary; instead, he hardly played.
A change of scenery was necessary for Sneed, and Los Angeles could be the stop for him. Adding Sneed could seem like a high-risk for any team, especially a contender, but not for the Rams.
The most important thing that the Rams could take advantage of is that Sneed is cheap. Being recently released, he could come at a lower cost, and the potential signing could be a low-risk, high-reward one rather than a signing of a guaranteed top-tier defender.
The Rams already have an elite corner in McDuffie and a solid partner in Watson, who is as solid as they come.
Sneed would be far from a traditional CB1, but when he’s at his best, he can excel at disrupting receivers at the line of scrimmage, generating pass deflections, and blitzing off the edge. Those traits have often allowed him to function as a shutdown corner in the right scheme.
Injuries would be a cause for concern, but it could be a chance the Rams wouldn't mind taking.
