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.
Jefferson? Really? Just give them our #1 in 2024, another #1 in 2025 and pay him $30 million a year for 5 years?
In which multiverse does Veach make that move? When has he ever did that? We just won 2 SB's with at best, average WR's. Come on CP, we don't have to mortgage the future to win a SB. [Reply]

From who? :-) we aren't trading for Jefferson [Reply]

Umm frank clark?
Frank clark was:
-less established at his position.
-more expensive in total cap percentage than Jefferson is looking to be

It wasn't 2 #1's. And it was a horrible deal that Veach will never repeat. We wernt even paying Mahomes yet. You guys need to live in the real world. [Reply]

We currently have a projected 100m in cap available for 2025, and if jawan taylor underperforms this year we can free up 20m more by cutting him.
Theres money there.
Signings this year have more impact on 2025 money than the first year. And the contract structure the chiefs use doesn’t handicap them into paying huge dead money for late year cap casualty.

Two thirds of the roster are free agents in 2015. No we don't. [Reply]
