The Chiefs have granted cornerback L'Jarius Sneed permission to seek a trade, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday. Rapoport added the Chiefs could elect to use their franchise tag on Sneed ahead of next Tuesday's deadline and then trade the fourth-year defensive back.
If Kansas City does indeed tag Sneed by the March 5 deadline, the organization will have until mid-July to either lock him into a larger extension or presumably make good on its word and trade him. The one-year franchise tag for cornerbacks is set at $19.8 million for the 2024 season.
The 2020 fourth-rounder has blossomed into a stud for the Chiefs during his rookie contract, developing a reputation for sticky coverage with 10 interceptions, 40 passes defensed, four forced fumbles and 6.5 sacks in his career.
Teams are sure to come calling, but they'll have to compete with the K.C.'s negotiating power and the lure of sticking it out with the team that drafted him to make a run at a Super Bowl three-peat.

He might be a good tackle as well. I know it's antithetical to CP, but players improve. [Reply]

Too many QBs are getting injured nowadays. You have to reduce those odds as best you can.
Jawaan was hitting his stride again late in the year, if you shore up LT you’ll finally have a true good starting five all the way across.
Mahomes is very elusive and hard to sack, but if you watched the games last year there were times he had so much time in the pocket he could have written his doctoral thesis. [Reply]
