Titans GM breaks silence on blockbuster L’Jarius Sneed trade
The Titans swung a big trade with the Chiefs for L’Jarius Sneed, and their GM is fired up with the move.
The Kansas City Chiefs were always going to have a tough time keeping all of their star players in town, and the guy who ended up being on the outside looking in was L’Jarius Sneed. While the star cornerback was franchise tagged by the team ahead of free agency, the Chiefs ended up trading him to the Tennessee Titans, who quickly signed him to a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension.
The Titans managed to shore up their secondary by adding one of the top cornerbacks in the game in Sneed, and fans are clearly pumped up by the deal. You can add general manager Ron Carthon to the list of folks who are pumped to see Sneed in a Titans uniform, as he shared his excitement about the move when offering his first comments on the big trade.
“It’s a huge get. It gives you three top-flight corners in him and Chidobe (Awuzie) and Roger (McCreary) that can just flat-out cover people. He matches Chido’s energy of being a physical, aggressive corner that can also play in run support. You see a lot of the way the game is going with the toss crack, and forcing the corners to come up there and play more in run support, and we have guys who are willing to stick their face in there and tackle people.” – Ron Carthon, TennesseeTitans.com
