This is mostly off-the-cuff, and I hope it's correct. It may not be.
IIRC, no teams were able to make an offer because Jared refused to sign the qualifying offer sheet the Chiefs presented him early in March. I believe he has to sign that sheet by June 15th (although I don't know what happens if he doesn't). That's irrelevant with regards to other teams signing him. The deadline for that was (I think) the Friday a week before the draft. The Chiefs would have had a week to match the offer made by the new team.
If the Chiefs had not matched the offer, had Jared signed it and a new team made him a contract offer, the new team that signed Jared would've had to send KC 1st and 3rd round draft choices for him.
