Chiefs CB L'Jarius Sneed Contract Projections
Sneed has been tagged but what would he cost to sign long term?
Let’s look at a couple of projections for Sneed’s potential contract if they can get one done. When looking at contracts, the real numbers to pay attention to are guaranteed money and average per year (APY). In most cases, players will sign four or five-year deals with the likelihood that they will not finish the contract. When it comes to Sneed and being 27, the likelihood is that a four-year deal is only a three-year deal.
Interestingly enough, when looking at all the deals on this list, Sneed’s potential value yearly is less than the $19.8 million franchise tag.
PFF is projecting the following deal: three years, $52.5 million ($17.5 million per year), with $35 million total guaranteed.
A to Z Sports is projecting the following deal: 4 yrs $64.0M, $16.0M APY, $35.0M fully guaranteed.
Spotrac is projecting the following deal: 4 yrs $65.23M, $16.33M APY
PFF projects a bigger deal for Sneed at $17.5 million a year. This comes in slightly higher than the other two estimated contracts but not so much as to create a big outlier. The guaranteed money is roughly the same as the first two projections, and I’d estimate the third contract from Spotrac would come in similarly in guaranteed money.
