Apparently, Sneed missed the last game and will miss the next game due to a quad injury. Sneed was terrific last season while performing despite injury concerns. Given the status of his knee, a big contract was a bad investment. Further, the :-) ability to draft and develop DBs played a huge role in his decision-making.
Jaylen Watson was doing a great job replacing Sneed. While McDuffie was the one taking over the no. 1 corner job, it was Watson who moved into the lineup with Sneed's absence. Watson was a well above average corner before getting injured. Imagine the Chiefs cap situation if they tried to fit a deal for Sneed.
Would signing Trey Smith and Creed Humphry to extensions have been possible? I also doubt the CHiefs would now have the flexibility to add Hopkins. They had to get Tennessee to eat a lot of contract as it is. I think the Chiefs would have to have performed serious cap contortions to address the WR room if they had signed Sneed. [Reply]

Trying to compare what Veach has done to build a 3 time Super Bowl winner (back to back for 2 of them) to what Dorsey did here is silly.
It’s not beach vs Dorsey. Just some clowns trying to take credit away from Dorsey. Someone said he doesn’t get credit for kelce Andy does because he knew him years before the draft. And regardless of the revisionist history Mahomes is a Dorsey pick. Idgaf what the story says about Veach pouring the table for him. There’s a scout in every round pushing for his guy and scouts taking Andy film all the time. It’s called the off season. [Reply]

I think Kareem would have been a salary cap casualty. He would have wanted above $10M per year and the Chiefs would not be able to pay him. He would have been gone after the 2020 season. [Reply]

I don’t think there’s much chance we would’ve resigned an expensive RB to a second contract, Hunt or not. [Reply]
