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

Still holding out hope for another team to come in and beat the colts offer.

My read of the situation is that Indy and the Chiefs have agreed to a deal in principal, but the holdup is Sneed's contract demands.

I guess Sneed is in a bit of a no-lose situation, unless we call his bluff and terminate the franchise tag. If deep down he wants to be a Chief, he can drive his price so high that he's either going to get a huge bag...or worse case scenario for him he believes he can just come back and chase another ring.

The wildcard in this is if Veach is willing to pull the tag.

In fact, I’m leaning heavily toward that trade not happening at all.

Yup. At some point Veach will have to consider pulling the tag and letting him walk if he feels it won't happen. Pretty clear that Sneed wants too much for us and maybe the Colts as well. How bad does he want to keep McDuffie? Thats also a factor. He's younger.

Why would he pull the tag lol. Chiefs are just fine letting him play on the tag.

My read of the situation is that Chiefs and Colts FANS have agreed to a deal in principal and there is zero evidence of anything else

The $19.8 mil in CAP space that becomes available if the tag is pulled.

How do we know that? Sneed said he won't play on the tag.

Stop that he’s not turning 19 m down.

Not sure about this guy…

Can confirm that LJ Sneed will be joining the Colts. There was a deal in place but there was a snag holding things up. He will be an Indianapolis Colt in 2024. #ChiefsKingdom #Colts #ForTheShoe #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/8ttsaP6L4t

Probably not if it was play or don't play. He won't miss the season. Just repeating what he said.

This is the part where I ask what your source for that is and where you can’t provide one.

Pick 84? **** that. Have him play on the tag, and after he walks in FA next year we will get a third comp pick that would be what, between 98-105? I would rather a year of Sneed and that than pick 84.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Doesn't mean there aren't ongoing discussions between the clubs...

Comp pick wouldn't come until 2026 and that's a huge IF considering Sneed would have to have another strong season to earn the contract + the Chiefs couldn't sign anyone else to a similar AAV deal or it'd cancel out.

You can't count on a comp pick that wouldn't even arrive for two more years.
