Summing up...... Everything was done right but the outcome still sucks.
I wouldn't want to get rid of the salary cap. Baseball could be saved with one, but they are idiots. If we had a "baseball" type structure in football, Mahomes would have left after his rookie deal.

Fixed.
Also Verderame's show is good so far. Really insightful and his guests are top notch

Worst case happens and he tears his ACL or ruptured his Achilles. Bashaud Breeland went through a worst case scenario and still made $9 million in 7 years. A decent corner in this league is getting at least $5 million APY. He'd still make that if it didn't work out. Why not shoot for the stars if you're almost assuredly getting $5 million a year as a baseline?

The Chiefs are going to be good and win games late into January. There's no reason to not bet on yourself with the amount of eyeballs that will be on you.
The days of signing guys early is probably over. |

Before Sneed was drafted, both the Chiefs and Sneed would’ve been ecstatic at this outcome. Sneed gives the Chiefs 4 great years. Sneed gets to go get a big second contract somewhere. The two get 2 Lombardis together. It’s maybe a little emotional because Sneed is a person and all. We tend to feel like we almost know these guys after awhile, but ultimately the totality of the situation was great for everyone involved.

The system we have now is, probably, the least worst option. Terez Paylor used to call it the "happy tax" -- when you're a great team in a league founded on parity, you're going to have your coaches poached and you're going to have to let a number of players walk. It's what the Patriots did for decades. |

Can't pay everybody.
That's the downside of being a great team and winning multiple championships. Everyone wants a piece of that pie. Sneed is likely to play elsewhere because the Chiefs probably aren't going to pay what he's worth, unless he's willing to take a discount. Fans think he should so that the band can be kept together in order to 3 peat and continue winning. A fans perspective is almost always gonna differ than how a player sees it. The NFL means Not For Long, and Sneed has no choice but to get his bag. Sneed wasn't a 1st rd pick with a 1st rd rookie contract making millions. He was a 4th rd pick who played far above his salary. This is probably his only chance to really make some cash while he's in the league. Can't blame the guy it is what it is.

Riley made a decent point in that it can cut both ways. Yes, players want more playing time, more money, more attention, but they also want more winning. Ultimately his point was that there's never an actual mountaintop. Mitch can say "The Chiefs have reached football's highest summit!" all he wants, but there's not a summit. There's just a peak on the way to the next peak. And on and on the carousel turns.

This is why I've always thought we should pay Sneed (and who knows maybe we will and all this stuff is just posturing). He came in and did everything right from day 1. He's a quiet leader, and he absolutely sets the tone on that secondary, if not the whole defense. What kind of message does it send to other players that we'll let you walk even if you do everything right and blossom into a star?
We weren't a particularly hard-hitting or good-tackling secondary before Sneed. If one guy is shying away from contact, it makes all the other guys that much less inclined to run through a brick wall. But Sneed does the opposite. He makes all of them want to run through brick walls. Whereas letting Jones go to go somewhere else also sends a message that if you want a giant bag on your 3rd contract, it will probably have to be elsewhere. The biggest caveat here is if the team knows something about Sneed's knee. Seems like he was always on the injury report. It might be bone on bone at this point. But you'd think other teams' medical staffs could also suss that out, and make their offers accordingly. |

How long is a show going to last if the host says "good for sneed, good for chiefs, good for the league"? Instead they need a more emotional response from their audience, something for people to argue about and post on message boards. |

Then the talent of the bottom half of the league compared to the top is a lot further than most people admit. Fans WANT to believe their team is about to turn the corner. |
