Sneed's bum knee may cause complications.

In Veach we trust!!!

The Chiefs had several players earn incentives and raises to their rookie deals per the CBA guidelines. The reduced cap space reflects that and the Sneed franchise tag.

They already took those out. Also the 12 mil hasn’t been added yet

Yet the $2 million in Dead Money has been subtracted. Interesting.

Also we're not including the possible Patrick Mahomes restructure to push some money back as well.

I bet shes laughing about the ugly blue shirt sticking out.

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

Yeah he's earned it, trade him and move on.

I hope he gets $20m. His life story is a sad one in spots. He's earned it.

Don't want us being the ones paying it though.

Veach would say yes in a millisecond...ROFL

Could and should be life changing for a big part of his family.

Agree all the way around.

Spotrac has us at 9.6 in space

I mean, picks 29 and 32 wouldn't suck. Cap ramifications aside, that'd address LT and WR. Theoretically, anyway.

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.

Eh, not really.

You're gonna start needing some replacements here pretty quick.

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.

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 :)

In general, those don't realy work out like the McDuffie one did.

I mean, sure if one falls, go for it. But I don't see them sacrificing depth for it.

Well they're gonna try. Hell they tried last year and no one picked up the phone - and TBH, if they wouldn't work with KC then, why the hell do it now.

But Veach likes to go get his guys.

I'm just spitballing here, but if Andy and BV think Mims can be their LT for 10 years and that AD Mitchell is the next big thing at WR with a grade well above those other R1 guys...

Go get them. We're trying to keep evolving the dynasty here and these are premium positions that we've been narrowly working around for a couple years now.

LT yes.

WR....I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze with how deep this class is.

Marshall Faulk was traded for a 2 and a 5. Future Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk, which at the time I thought the Colts got absolutely fleeced.

Mims would be a great get, but I'll admit I don't know much about Worthy. Troy Franklin is my WR draft crush this year. Put that kid in this offense with Mahomes, Rice and Kelce?? Get your hotel rooms in New Orleans for the Super Bowl right this second.

Agreed, but for the '24 season and the shot at the threepeat, they're pretty damned stacked.

They need some stuff though.

The DL is thin, our DE rotation has an unknown, the LB group will be different, and the secondary will have some change.

Just on defense.

The DL in general should be a focus in the draft and FA. I’d expect a few new bodies. Re-sign Jones, and we already have two great pieces with hopefully Omenihu back midseason. That’s a good start.

LB will be about the same if we can get Tranquil back. Losing Gay sucks, but you also have to assume Chenal keeps getting better. A healthy Bolton helps.

Zero reason to be concerned with the secondary with or without Sneed. They’re great without him, elite with him.

They just officially tagged him non exclusive.

Lions and Dolphins are rumored to be among the interested teams, and it was reported last week as many as 6 teams reached out to the Chiefs about Sneed.

Real curious to see if it ends up being a player for player, player for pick, or a move-up package.

This is weird. Supposedly, earlier today it was reported the Chiefs were waiting up until the deadline to use the tag (something about 'leverage' against CJ).

If that's true, him being tagged now means one of two things:

1. Chiefs and CJ have agreed on a contract extension

2. Chiefs and some other team (Detroit?) have agreed on the parameters of a trade for Sneed.


Will be interesting to see which it is . . . . .

I'm hoping we already have a deal in place with Jones, because this means we can't apply the tag to him (we wouldn't anyways) but I could definitely see the shady Katz brothers using this as a leverage point in negotiations.

I think you need to get ONE premium keystone position per year, basically. If you can get two then that's just fantastic. But you gotta get ONE.

Now, you're going to get some extra ammo for Sneed, so maybe this is the best chance.

Both might be true. Or maybe 85% of both.

Maybe they’re comfortable with the worst case on Jones and have an offer they’d accept for Sneed.

I tend to believe the latter, but we'll see . . . .

Surprise L'Jarius Sneed Injury Now Threatens Chiefs Trade
 

Surprise L'Jarius Sneed Injury Now Threatens Chiefs Trade


A new report suggests Kansas City Chiefs CB L'Jarius Sneed is dealing with an injury that could complicate any offseason trade.

The trade saga involving the Kansas City Chiefs and star cornerback L'Jarius Sneed continues on with free agency right around the corner. We've heard no shortage of rumors involving Sneed's next potential destination after talks between him and KC broke down, but there's been no major movement yet.

Now it turns out, a health concern may be impacting this situation.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Chatter getting louder on Sneed knee injury<a href="https://t.co/ANioUJM9Zn">https://t.co/ANioUJM9Zn</a></p>&mdash; Tony Pauline (@TonyPauline) <a href="https://twitter.com/TonyPauline/status/1763996095703630292?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 2, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Tony Pauline of SportsKeeda reports "numerous sources" have informed him about a knee injury that plagued Sneed throughout the 2023 season. This intel revealed the ailment "prevented him from practicing for long stretches" during the past campaign, and is now a "red flag" prospective teams will need to investigate before any deal is made.

This development certainly could throw a wrench in Sneed finding a new home on a lucrative contract. Teams aren't going to give up legitimate draft assets, and/or pay Sneed handsomely on his next deal, if there's a legitimate concern about his health.

Of course, all it takes is medical clearance for any worries to go away. Sneed didn't seem to be particularly impacted by whatever injury he may have in 2023, too, as he set a personal best with 14 passes defended while adding two interceptions.

Sneed's performance since entering the league, and especially during the team's back-to-back Super Bowl wins, still gives him incredible value even if he's partially injured at the moment. The Chiefs could certainly use his resume (along with confirmation the injury isn't going to impact him long-term) to still receive a nice haul in return for the former fourth-rounder.

Sneed's injury status now requires close monitoring in addition to his contract situation with the start of free agency just over a week away.


https://kckingdom.com/posts/surprise...e-01hr30dj3d7x

What “development”? The knee injury and the lack of practice have been common knowledge for a long time.

Ah yes, another breaking story from the investigative journalists over at SportsKeeda...

To be fair: Common knowledge to everyone except Tony, Isaiah & their coworkers.

I feel like Detroit might be the best trade partner....they probably feel like they're close enough to a Super Bowl appearance to justify the compensation and contract and lord knows they need secondary help.

Some teams I'm thinking about:

Cards have 3 picks in the top 35 (#4,#27,#35)
Lions have #29 & #61
Commanders have 3 picks in the top 40 (#2,#36,#40)
Packers have #25,#41,#58
Dolphins have #21 & #55
Bears have #1, #9, & might move Fields to ATL for #43.

Ohhh Commanders or Packers come on down please lol...

Worst case we get him signed to a reasonable deal?!?

Sweet

I don’t see any losing for Kansas City here unless they don’t get a 2

Best case, maybe the market does the negotiations for you, teams are scared by the knee and reluctant to offer top market money, and he comes back on $16m per year

I'm honestly hoping for a trade up package. I'd love to solve our LTOTF hole and figure out WR through a variety of other ways.

Yeah if the value is a 3 only, or teams aren't providing a number he likes, I'd be fine with simply running it back with him on the roster.

Fairly week CB draft should increase the proposed compensation, no?

Noob on this. What does that mean exactly?

He’s free to negotiate with other teams.

Ok, I have heard of several types of tags so I did not know which was which and what it meant. Thank you!

Pennell was a beast in the SB. I have no idea why he doesn't stick.

NY Giants also have #6, #39, and #47

He’s old and can’t replicate it for a whole season at this point. His best works been late season mercenary work.

They’re no where close to competing. Why trade for a 20m corner?

Because having talented players helps you get closer to competing?

Not saying it isn’t possible. But feels like us trading for frank Clark if we did it in 2012

Have zero problem keeping sneed if we can’t find a trade partner

Going to miss Sneed and or Jones. They earned their rings that’s for sure

So did we trade this piece of shit yet?

Traded him for a washing machine in an attempt to improve those NFLPA survey results.

Rather keep Sneed over Jones

Not me, you can make argument we are winless right now in the Super Bowl if we don’t have Jones. Can’t say the same about Sneed

I know it's not my money, but Mahomes is so competitive, and wants to lay down a legacy that cannot be denied, that if I was Mahomes, I would restructure to the absolute lowest salary, because a 3-peat in the NFL would probably earn him back whatever he gave up and much more.

I mean, again, not my money, but if I was that rich, I might ask myself how much is enough. If you have $100 million in the bank, and you give away $25 million, but never even need to use a full $75 million for anything, ever, do I really miss that $25 million?

Yes, I know he would also lose interest on the money, etc. but keeping Sneed and Jones raises the odds of 3-peating by a lot.

I would like to meet every person who runs an aggregate site like this, and punch them so hard in the throat.

Maybe they could do escalated guarantees, like with Mahomes, but make it in addition to already guaranteed money.

Like, 5 years for $90 million, with $40 million guaranteed, but he can earn further guaranteed money via being on the active roster, and through play incentives.

If we win a playoff game, he gets an additional 2.5 % guaranteed. If we win the AFC, another 2.5%. If we win the Super Bowl, another 5% guaranteed. For every year of the contract.

I think it's because his body can't stand up to a full season. He needs to be at full strength to be effective, because other than brute strength, he doesn't really have anything going for him.

Sneed punching the ball out of Zay Flowers hands at the goal line saved /won us that game

You didn’t have faith in our offense to go down there and score after that?

He makes so much on endorsement deals anyways

Mahomes is so good he doesn't need to take a pay cut to win Super Bowls.

We'll kind of have to see on the Giants... If the rumors Eisen announced are true, then they are looking to move up for a QB.

That said, it could be posturing to get as many teams to move up in front of them as possible and force at least one of Harrison Jr or Nabers to them. They
did make the playoffs with Daniel Jones just a year ago.

It will be interesting to see how it unfolds. If they do bet on Jones, then it would be a really smart play to bring in Sneed to help lock down some good WRs in their division in Lamb, McLaurin, Brown, and Smith.

I'm in the camp that doesn't think it's posturing. Daniel Jones isn't a starting-caliber NFL QB.

#3 overall pick + the Chiefs take the Mac Jones disaster off their plate.

Do it, Faketriots.

Dolphins, Vikings, Lions, Patriots, Titans and Falcons.

If this is about picks then I’d love to get the Patriots or Titans trade for 33 or 38.

All of these moves to clear cap space by the Chiefs that are with players they are keeping(Mahomes, Thuney etc.) don't lose any money. They just postpone the payment of the money. Thats why we are paying Thuney $27 million this year. Need to pay the piper for his giving us cap space a couple of years ago.

That's how I view it as well, I knew when they picked Pennell up the Chiefs were going to use him in the postseason. Especially going against the run heavy Ravens offense. As well as going against potentially the 9ers with McCaffery in the SB.

Give that man a SB ring he was signed up for a mercenary position and did well.

If he's up for it let him coast on the PS all year to stay in shape and then use him if needed down the stretch.

The "Chase Daniel" of DL.

They absolutely should do this.

If he's on the practice squad, someone can poach him. He's better off chilling on the couch.
