Since we know this thing is coming down in the next few days.

What’s the predictions? Not what you want, but what you think the details end up being?

Simple. But it may cost you the ability to get a LT or keep someone else you love down the road.

Using your math you just do $60M in signing bonus (counts $12M/year against the cap) and pay min this year, $5M in Y2, $7M in Y3, $10M in Y4, and $25M in Y5 (which you won’t pay and you can spread the dead money across two years at $6M per). You can also add all kinds of roster bonuses that you can play around with as well.

The risks inherent to all long-term deals would be there if you go out that far of course. I’d try to do something shorter if you want to keep him so if he goes down you don’t get your lights punched out.

With or without Sneed trade capital, I just foresee Veach going up for his 2-3 guys in this draft and not making a ton of picks.

Totally disagree. We need another WR, CB, RB, TE, LT at the very minimum. Plus a guard and LB could be taken too. No way we're getting just three players from the draft imo.

I chuckled, had forgot all about the dude.

Captain, stick to your guns and ride the wave. Even if Sneed decides to remain with the #Chiefs, you had some good intel about the #Colts pursuit!

1. McDuffie
2. Spagnuolo
3. Andy
4. His draft sibling Karlaftis
5. His position coach Dave Merritt
6. Clark Hunt
7. Gracie Hunt
8. Some other football person (high school, college, or pro)
9. Some non-football person
10. His favorite Chiefsplanet poster

Karlaftis was drafted last year with McDuffie not in 2020 with Sneed.

Ricky’s back! For those that care.

Hit a snag with the numbers for the contract. Will be figured out in time. LJ will not be a Chief come around the draft. #Chiefs #RedKingdom #Colts https://t.co/bLcEgIwKWn

Then if the price wasn't too much more from there, we might be in postion to lock up Mahomes blindside for the rest of his career.

You people are nuts too much Madden?

For including FAU and our 1st in the starting point for talking to the Bears about #9, and guage what else they might be asking for to complete the deal?

As an example. Last years 1st (FAU), this years 1st, and next years 1st for #9? Is that too much? Not enough? For a possible shot at Joe Alt, and at worst get one of the other two guys Crow mentioned?

Am I wrong in thinking that the longer this draws out the more underwhelming the compensation will likely end up being for us?

It's already underwhelming. 3rd is the best current offer...Dealing an elite corner for that is ****ing stupid

Yes, we have the leverage. We can keep him or trade him. No lock down number 1 corners left in FA, and no sure thing in the draft. Some of these Coach's and GM's need to win now to keep their job. I think Veach is more than flexible and has plans either way. He holds the leverage.

I don’t see why anyone would have any interest in FAU. He didn’t show anything last year. It looks like he was a mistake. No way the Bears would trade a number 9 this year for our number 1 this year and next year. And adding in FAU isn’t going to be seen as meaningful.

I think the way things are playing out we should keep Sneed. But if we can parlay him into a low draft pick then to get a LT that would be great. But it doesn’t seem to be working out that way.

And keeping him will be great for our three peat. but we need to get Smith back at left tackle.

I think FAU not playing had more to do with our depth than him being a bust. At worst he replaces Danna this season.

And he did have a nice stick of CMC in the Super Bowl.
