For Pete's Sake

Chiefs fans came out to see Justin Reid and L’Jarius Sneed in Jefferson City, Missouri.

The Chiefs have 17 players who became unrestricted free agents on Monday, but one player not on that list is generating a lot of interest.

It’s cornerback L’Jarius Sneed. The Chiefs put the non-exclusive franchise tag on Sneed a week ago, and he’s been given an opportunity to speak with other NFL teams about a potential trade.

Sneed may not be with the Chiefs for very much longer, but fans still love him.

On Saturday, Sneed and safety Justin Reid made an appearance at Rusty Drewing Toyota in Jefferson City, and a huge crowd of fans turned out to see the Super Bowl champions.

Fans who attended the event at the dealership shared photos of Sneed, Reid and KC Wolf.

Reid exchanged a high five with a young girl, who apparently is a Taylor Swift fan. The girl’s mother posted this message on social media: “Thank you for making this little Swiftie’s day.”

This is a sweet interaction.
