A CBS report aligns with your thinking: "The Chiefs have Chris Jones who's also eligible for the tag, but it's cheaper to tag Sneed at $18.8 million. Sneed is also the player the Chiefs have to pay or risk losing to another team, as Jones appears to have every intent on staying. "
They also are recommending the Ravens tag Madubuike: "Madubuike is set to cash in this spring in free agency, whether that's from the Ravens or someone else. The Ravens should place the tag on him and pay the $21 million it would cost to keep Madubuike around and give themselves extra time to work out a long-term deal -- even with only $7.3 million in salary cap space to work with at this time."
