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.
Per MMQB. Sneed wants $20 million. Not possible if we keep Chris. Fine with the 2nd for compensation

I'd use my other picks after that to go up and get my LT and WR of choice. We don't need a ton of picks this year. Lot of roster spots are locked in for the next two + years. [Reply]

Eh, not really.
You're gonna start needing some replacements here pretty quick. [Reply]

You mean at like, LT and WR?
If those positions are solidified with truly good players and it's a McDuffie situation where you have to trade up to do that, so be it. We are winning three in a row if you do it. [Reply]

I don't know that we are gonna get a 1st rd pick for Sneed, but I totally agree with your thinking if they do. Mims at OT and Worthy at WR would be glorious :-) [Reply]
