Chiefs Face Tough Decisions on Sneed and Jones Contracts

With limited cap space, the Kansas City Chiefs must navigate free agency challenges to retain key defensive players L'Jarius Sneed and Chris Jones.

L'Jarius Sneed, a key figure in the Chiefs' defense, becomes an unrestricted free agent in March and is expected to command a four-year, $65 million contract.
Chris Jones, who contributed significantly to the Chiefs' success, is predicted to earn a three-year, $85.4 million contract as a free agent.
Sneed expressed uncertainty about the Chiefs' ability to afford both him and Jones, stating, 'They can't keep both of us.'
The Chiefs have 19 pending unrestricted free agents and rank 17th in the NFL with $22.6 million in cap space.
Jones has expressed a desire to stay with the Chiefs, potentially indicating a willingness to negotiate for the team's benefit.
