| Sports Illustrated Let’s get this out of the way: Sneed is now 29 years old and multiple campaigns removed from his last elite-level season. He’s appeared in just 12 games over the last two years, surrendering a 107. 7 passer rating and 13.

6 yards per completion in coverage. Bringing him in would be a calculated risk. With that said, if a Chief again, Sneed wouldn’t be asked to fulfill the same role he had in the past.

With first-round pick Mansoor Delane starting and the duo of Nohl Williams and Kristian Fulton also present, the veteran could play a supporting role and provide valuable scheme familiarity and leadership while the coaching staff assesses whether he can still play. How it happens financially is another story. It’s assumed that at this stage in his career, Sneed won’t break the bank, but the Chiefs are strapped for cash.
