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.
I would trade Sneed to Atlanta for Pitts and/or pick 43.

I’m expecting something the equivalent of a mid second round pick.
Either a pick around 45-55. Or a combination of picks to equal that.
Maybe an exchange of first round picks and mid rounder.
Something in that ballpark. Anything more, and I’ll be ecstatic. [Reply]

I think that's probably close but I doubt anyone exchanges firsts with us unless they're picking two or three spots ahead. I seriously doubt he gets us into the top 20. [Reply]

I have a hard time seeing anyone but a contender being interested in Sneed at his price tag and age, so it’d almost have to be a team that was in the playoffs. Which means, we wouldn’t go any higher in the first than 20-ish.
Maybe something like a swap with Houston of first round picks (23 for 32) plus pick 59.
Draft Tek has that as a gain of 470 points, which is the equivalent of pick 43. [Reply]

I think I want a first swap more depending on the swap. But we’re never high in the first anymore. Getting in the late teens to 20s could net us something nice. [Reply]
