I think you're overestimating what a tag and trade can return. The tag is going to be $32.5M or w/e. He'd probably just be ok with playing on that. And no team is going to trade for him w/o working out a long term deal. And the Chiefs probably won't feel comfortable tagging him at that price w/o a deal in place.
