Pats tag Duggar also.  I recall McD loved him out of college.

They’re using the transition tag which allows them only to match an offer him and his agent like. They don’t acquire anything if they choose not to. Very rarely used option for that reason alone.

Doesn’t mean they are definitely retaining him.  He’s been given permission to seek a trade.  Title is misleading

Non exclusive tag: He can still sign with another team, Chiefs can choose to match it or not.

 

No way Chiefs can pay Mahomes and keep all of these guys.

 

The non exclusive franchise tag is a "poison pill" for the trade partner though:

"If the organization chooses not to offer an equal (or greater) contract and the player transfers to the other team, they [meaning the original team] are entitled to two first-round draft picks from the franchise acquiring the player."

 

So it's basically forcing a team that's interested in signing him to trade him for 2 1st round picks.  Like "Dang, you good, you ain't THAT good!"  

He's not likely to get an offer sheet from other teams for that.

I'm just going to keep agreeing with you today. Sneed is good, but no CB is worth two first-rounders. Only a QB would be worth that. So, the acquiring team would have to negotiate a contract bigger than the tag value and work out a trade with KC. That's a tall order.

The rumored trade compensation is a 3rd and a 4th

I think this was back in the old days. Now players just won’t sign the offer sheet. Teams work out amongst themselves. Report is a 2nd at best for KC.
