Call me crazy - but since this is the non-exclusive franchise tag - Sneed can seek a new contract with another team - the Chiefs have the right to match and keep him or decline and get 2 1st round picks as compensation.

If this were an exclusive franchise tag Sneed would be barred from speaking with other teams and it would be up to the Chiefs to seek trade suitors....so all this trade compensation talk is for naught?

I was u der the impression they haven’t put the tag on officially but intend to. So he’s technically a chief who’s been given permission to seek a trade.

If they didn't tag him he would be a FA and free to sign else where?

They have until march 5 to place the tag. Hes technically team controlled until then.

Not sure you can trade the player if it’s the non inclusive tag , he either sign’s elsewhere where can match or he plays on the tag at a reduced rate.

Right, the rule says we get 2 #1’s but that’s not happening. Either make a deal with the Chiefs or no Sneed.

According to Sportrac the Tag has been applied - they had until the 5th to apply the tag. I'm really thinking they are after 2 first round picks. I mean can you imagine 2 years in a row of 2 #1 picks....

:shrug:

Exactly - I think there is some misunderstanding of his "permission to seek a trade". I was listening to NFLN on my way home from work and they were all "ribbing" the Chiefs for "giving him permission". They said it was implied in the non-exclusive tag for him to seek a contract elsewhere. Now whether another team is desperate enough to add a CB at the steep cost of 2 1st round picks remains to be seen. But its a great tactic to keep him around for at least another year if they think no one will pay that

If Sneed isn't playing for us next year we will have 2 first round picks in our pocket.

Because when he is in, Jameson makes defenses move safeties, which opens up the run game and loosens the coverage on St. Brown. You don't create a hole to fill a hole, plus give up a pick to do so, let alone when selling low on a cost-controlled player.

How do you figure?

I don’t think they are using the non inclusive tag, open to trade and looking for 2nd round comp tells me it’s regular tag

He’s convinced it’s the non exclusive tag.

610 said tonight he has not been tagged yet but has the go ahead to seek a trade. Doubtful he gets the exclusive tag.
