Report: Sneed likely to stay with Chiefs and play the tag

[SHOWTIME]

𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: "Strong winds" that L'Jarius Sneed will stay with the #Chiefs and play on his tag, per @MarinoNFL

The #Colts, #Dolphins, and #Lions wanted him but either went in other directions or are hesitant to give up draft picks. pic.twitter.com/naJ0oFqhhv

It was from an interview that Matt V did.

1. The Titans were very interested in Sneed early in the process.

2. The Lions and Colts were interested but have since moved on.

3. Sneed is sticking to his asking price of $22+ million AAV because he wants to be the highest paid CB in the league.

4. The Chiefs and at least one team had agreed to the parameters of a trade but Sneed turned down 4 years and $80 million.

5. There are concerns about Sneed's knee but they aren't major concerns that have stopped teams from making offers.

Aka the Marcus Peters deal

Not awful, but not much juice this year. They don’t have a 3. Don’t see them giving up pick 38.

**** that. I’d bring him back and go all in for the 3 Peat.

Yeah, it would be a nice package for 2, 3, 4 years from now.

Undoubtedly makes us worse next year (compared to keeping Sneed on the tag).

I can make an argument for either scenario. The safe call is to accept that trade offer and keep playing the long game.

Nobody wants to trade with us and I'm good with it. Veach's wizardry is no longer the best kept secret in the league.

I don't haaaaaate that?

The 2nd could really be hugely valuable in 2025. But equally critical is that the cap space could net the veteran OT, DE and potentially WR (OBJ) that we could still use to round out the rest of the roster. And it could be done in a way that doesn't push money into future seasons.

It's nothing approaching ideal. But it's not awful.

If the Chiefs make that trade and 3-peat anyway, I can’t imagine the frustration from the rest of the league.

I would have thought that one of the best corners in the game would fetch a 1st or at worse, a second rounder. All
Of the remaining options are not even approaching ideal.

Just not how it typically works for anything other than QBs, WRs and pass rushers.

The fact that the most valuable CB on the market signed a deal for just a hair over what Jerry !@#$ing Jeudy got kinda tells you how much the league values them.

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but it's where the league is. You're just not going to get a massive return for the privilege of paying a guy unless that guy scores touchdowns or sacks quarterbacks.

What DE or OT is out there now that could be had?

Extra picks in 25 will be more valuable than picks this year anyway.

[RunKC]

Our biggest competition next year will likely be the Bengals. Having Sneed to shut down Chase or Higgins is pretty valuable.

Sounds like a 3rd and a 2025 day 3 pick is the offer. Not sure it’s worth that to rather to just keep him

[Gravedigger]

Theoretically getting a 33-48 second round pick next year would allow us to use next years 1st to move up should they be thinking about it. I mean we moved from 27 to 10 to get Patrick and it cost us a swap of 1sts, and a first and third. So if we wanted to hop up 15-18 spots this year for an LT or someone like Brian Thomas Jr. then this year we'd be picking 15th and next year we'd be giving up a 30 - 32 pick for a 33 - 48 pick given the Titans finish 16th - 32nd in the league. Only way it bites us is if the Titans and Will Levis shock people.

Unless the nfl is just done doing business with the chiefs.

[Red Dawg]

Dragging out for a while. Slammed for saying this before but correct.
