Sneed traded to Titans

[Chiefshrink]

You either give Sneed the money or at least tag him IF you know, you don't have talent in the till. Well I trust Brett that he knows he has talent in the till and I think some of us know this already, so let's not jump the ship just because we didn't get a first round pick for the guy although he's definitely worth it, it's just where the market is as teams aren't willing to give up a first or a second, to us especially. As some of you said it is what it is.

3. If our secondary prevents a passing TD, this thread will be bumped by the people LIKING/LOVING the trade and claiming we didn't need Sneed.

4. If our DBs get a ton of penalties, this thread will be bumped by the people HATING the trade and claiming this wouldn't have happened with Sneed.

So basically this is the "Official Our DB's ****ing suck" thread.

Number 4 is just silly. Sneed was the handsiest, grabbiest player in our secondary.

True but doesn't mean someone won't try using it.

So now that most of us have concluded this was a terrible trade, I guess it’s time to look at what does KC do with the cap space the trade generated. IMO,

Double down on OT by getting Becton and resigning Smith.

Resign Danna

Sign 1 CB whoever comes cheapest between Howard, white, and Gilmore.

Dobbins at RB if he will come on a veteran minimum

MVS or Hardman or another FA WR on a veteran minimum

I think our overall cap space would handle the above.

In the draft go for best available re-WR, OT or tight end with the first two pics and be willing to trade down with this year‘s number three or next years number 2 if someone has fallen that we want.

We should not use the pick we got for Sneed as keeping it until next year at least gives us a top 100 pic for sure, and more likely a top 25 pic. Obviously for a list value if we use it this year.

No, many haven't concluded that this was a terrible trade. We won't know until the dust settles, but if you don't think the additional cap space makes us a better overall team, while be a little weaker at CB with our quality depth there, I don't know what to tell you.

I would be shocked if they sign a FA corner, they like what they have in house. Smith would be an obvious LT sign and then they would address in the draft. I think Becton is a huge risk with his injury history, don't know if that's worth the gamble.

Dobbins is coming off a series of injuries. So I guess bring him in on a vet min to see what he has, but CEH at the minimum after the good back up season he had would be the obvious.

Danna at a reasonable cost would be good.

We do the above, we are wide open for whatever the draft kicks our way. We wouldn't be if we would have paid Sneed.

I’m going out on a limb here. This trade will prove genius down the line and the extra cap space will be used in a very effective way. We will use this pick on someone overlooked but extremely talented. Or we trade up and pick someone we really need.

Threepeat or no Snead earned his rings and his bag. Looking forward to seeing him try the new one on.


Wish he would have gone to the NFC though.

Guess this means we're going CB in round 1.

I think Veach will try and spin his magic in the later rounds again. Most obvious is that WR and LT/RT are more important. But again, with the additional Sneed trade cap space, we can go any direction, so if a top CB fell, we have the luxury of jumping on the pick.

It always kinda cracks me up when the "why'd we trade him for that, we got fleeced" starts.

Do we not think they got the most they could have? Why wouldn't they?

He had more leverage here than some thought I guess. With the new contract, he could basically veto trades to teams if he said he woudln't sign new deals.

Imagine how difficult it's going to be for Sneed to go from Mahomes to Levis , Andy Reid to Brian Callahan, Spags to Dennard Wilson etc. He got his money but I'd imagine that's all he's going to enjoy over the next couple of years.

He’s got 2 rings bud. That’s more than 98% of his peers outside of the Chiefs team ever see.

He’s not a Chiefs fan. He didn’t grow up here. I’m sure he’ll miss those guys but he just got a contract that guarantees him 11X what he made on his rookie contract.

We’d all do the same if we were him

We would all absolutely do the same. That doesn't mean it's going to suck less to lose.

There are those of us that think you just hold onto him instead of taking peanuts.

After the Chris Jones saga, they probably didn't wanna mess with him not showing up for camp and such drama that comes with being tagged.
