Ever since Patrick Mahomes became the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018 they have been one of the best teams in the NFL. That is no different this season, as the Chiefs are currently the only undefeated team at 6-0.

Mahomes and the Chiefs' year-over-year dominance continues to be impressive, especially with how the roster changes yearly. In 2022, they traded away their best receiver, Tyreek Hill, because of contract disputes. Then proceeded to win back-to-back Super Bowls in 2023 and 2024.

While Hill has been one of the more notable players to leave Kansas City in recent memory and possibly regret that decision, there have been plenty of others. With that in mind, here are three players from the Chiefs 2023 roster who might regret leaving.

1. L'jarius Sneed

The Chiefs selected L'jarius Sneed with the 138th pick in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL draft. Throughout his four seasons with the team, Sneed had three forced fumbles,10 interceptions, 6.5 sacks and 303 tackles.

Looking more in-depth, according to PFF, Sneed allowed 210 catches on 321 targets, which is a 65.4% completion percentage against the Chiefs. Sneed's only season with a completion
percentage allowed below 60% was last season, when he allowed 42 receptions on 80 targets.

After having a breakout season in 2023, Sneed was looking for a contract extension from the Chiefs in the offseason. Unfortunately, the two sides weren't able to reach a deal, resulting in Sneed being traded to the Tennessee Titans.

Sneed then signed a four year $76.4 million contract with the Titans. Although Sneed has missed one game this season, he is playing like a lockdown corner. On 21 targets he's only allowed nine receptions while gathering 23 tackles and two tackles for loss.

While Sneed is putting together a great season, the Titans are 1-6 and have no shot at making the playoffs. Although Sneed deserved his money, one could wonder if he wished he had taken a slight pay cut to stay with the Chiefs instead of going to a dumpster fire in Tennessee.
