I'm struggling to get on board with anything that includes a tag and trade of Chris Jones. I just don't think it's a reality.
The logistics of signing both Sneed and tagging Jones alone are difficult to navigate. Is it entirely possible? Yes, but it also precludes the Chiefs from being active in free agency until they trade Jones unless they push nearly all of Mahomes' money forward. We have no idea how long that could take to trade Jones, and once you do you've freed up all this cap space that you may not need anymore depending on how late into the process Jones is traded.
As nice as it would be to do, there is a financial component to it that the Chiefs just might not want to enter into. There is also the aspect of not wanting to lose Sneed either if you can't iron out a deal and saving that tag for him. If I were GM, I'd try to re-sign Jones but if that fails, and it likely would, then I'm looking at taking the loss and moving on. It is what it is. The year to trade Jones was this year if we were going to do it.
