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.
As much as I want to keep Sneed, it would probably make sense if they can trade him for a 1st because we are just a DB factory and every DB we touch turns to gold. [Reply]

Yes, but they're unlikely to get a first back for him. [Reply]

I disagree. A thread with over 10 pages that doesn’t say “X” happened but “X may happen” is a megathread. My time is valuable, I prefer to come to CP and find the thread with the title “X happened” and read the article/tweet and be informed instead of clicking page by page to see if anything new has happened since the thread “x may happen” was started.
It’s like a news paper printing the same paper everyday with updates and commentary to the main page article on pages 1-30. It’s dumb. I mean, more power to the MT lovers but I prefer to keep my thread scrolling time to a minimum especially at work. I suppose I could just skip CP all together and google “KC chiefs news” that might actually save me some brain cells at some point. :-)
I also assume there are others like me that like to jump in read the news and dip out. So it’s really a PSA. [Reply]

Going to be honest. I think Sneed definitely has the "system guy" label much like all the great Patriot players had over the years. Guys like Trey Flowers, Kyle Van Noy, etc. did absolutely nothing on other teams. With the incredible numbers Sneed put up there is no other justification to not get a first for him.
His market is definately better than Marcus Peters but not significantly better. [Reply]

Not the mention having to read through multiple pages of two or three guys in a spat just trying to se if there are any actually updates. [Reply]

Funny I had no idea I thought it was just a first round pick.

This is the way. Trade sneed. Resign jones. Reload in the draft with all that draft capital. If we hit on the picks we could get from a sneed trade, we could be a patriots level dynasty. Too much? [Reply]
