You could sign Sneed to a 4 year deal that's essentially 3 and be in a position to move on from him when McDuffie is making real money.
This is a STUPID cheap secondary. Even with Sneed, we wouldn't have spent that much money on it. And if its decided that we can't afford Sneed if we have another large contract in the secondary, then you extend Sneed and move on from Reid.
It just seems like a complete no-brainer at this point. You gotta get Sneed's deal done. I just wonder if he's not going to be someone who tests FA before he returns (or insists on 're-setting the salary scale' to sign prior to FA).
It may get a little hairy if you don't tag him. And if you tag him, the tag/trade scenario for Jones is off the table. So there's gonna be some tense moments here in the spring but I think he'll be back.

The Jones cake was baked last offseason. Similar to the OBJ thing, I don't think we really need to worry about anything there. It's done, it's been done, it'll continue to be done.
