Trade: Chiefs are finalizing a deal to send franchise CB L’Jarius Snead to the Titans, per league sources.
Chiefs are expected to receive a 2025 3rd-round pick, in addition to a 2024 7th-round pick flop, while Snead will sign a new contract. Trade is pending physical for Sneed. pic.twitter.com/GWjyKAgxZq

They can easily trade their 2025 2nd rounder to move up in the 1st now. [Reply]

Yeah we’re not the ones building the roster needing that 19.8 million though. [Reply]
Sneed has come in and done everything right from day 1, never complained about anything, and is a special human being who's had about as rough of a life story as you can imagine.
Maybe there was some aspect of the team trying to do right by Sneed in all this. Playing him on the tag would have royally screwed him since his value will never be higher than right now.
I'm going to tell myself that so I feel better about us just not keeping him on the tag this year. [Reply]

Yeah gotta see how it plays out in it's entirety. Sucks now but we're not finished. [Reply]

That would get them into the mid 20's, maybe? I'm not sure the value of that in this draft. Might be better to keep the picks and see what comes up as trade options down the road.
Could have more value if they finally do the sensible thing and move the trade deadline later into the season. [Reply]

Depends who you ask but IMO there are 5 legit 1st round WR's in this draft.
Moving up a few spots can help ensure we get one because the quality drops off fast after Adonai Mitchell and Bryan Thomas Jr get drafted. [Reply]

That’s a good way to view it. Happy for Sneed to get his large pile of guaranteed cash. It’s great that he did not end up with a hated Chiefs rival like the Bengals. And maybe Sneed can screw up games for CJ Stroud & Houston, which could indirectly help the Chiefs in Playoff seeding. [Reply]

You just have to wait to see who's available. Nobody could've predicted the McDuffie scenario before the draft.
There's a good chance that a guy like Fautanu, Mims, or Thomas Jr. slips into that range. When certsin positions are that deep, guys tend to fall lower than they should. [Reply]

I see 4 and Mitchell ain't one of them. To realistically land one of those 4 would be a move into the top 20 and you're looking at parting with a future 1 at that point.
Not a big deal though. Don't think the bag is significant between the tier 2 and tier 3 WR's in this draft and the tier 3 pool is deep. [Reply]

Still a lot of great talent left in free agency:
- S Justin Simmons - CB Stephon Gilmore - LB Jadeveon Clowney - S Quandre Diggs - S Julian Blackmon - WR Michael Thomas - QB Ryan Tannehill - CB Xavien Howard - CB Tre White - DL Calais Campbell - CB Adoree Jackson - S Jamal Adams… pic.twitter.com/QdigWbot3c

Sure it's early but feels like they can chill at 32 and get a guy. [Reply]
