I am legit starting to wonder what it is we're doing different here with schemes and coaching because Sneed was a beast last year, but we look to be BETTER this year on defense. Wild.
I mean, a future (2025) third is the best offer we got. Clearly, other GMs weren't enamored with paying him, either. [Reply]

It's hard to play at that same level when your team is going nowhere and you've just been paid a large contract. [Reply]
The system is a big deal for any player. We watched the Patriots turn coal into diamonds for years. More times then not those players would go else where, get paid, and come back down to earth. (Trey Flowers off the top of my head.)
Sneed is who he was. However he doesn't have Chris Jones and George to rush QB's anymore. He doesn't have Spags to put him in a position to make plays in the backfield. On top of that they don't love him in TEN like they loved him in KC.
Sneed said himself he was mad at the initial trade news, even said he wanted to stay. Now he's over there and he has to be nails only to watch Levis flounder for his efforts. Players are people too and football is an emotional game.
Like Tyreek, he got paid but it's not the same. (Althougg Tyreek did light the world on fire and no longer has a QB. That matters but you get the point.) [Reply]

I make great bank....not NFL bank but I can retire today if I want. And I just wonder why these guys need deca million dollar paydays.
Hill will get into the hall but I will say this - if I had played in the NFL I would have taken a LOT LESS just to win championship after championship year after year. That highlight where Sneed knocks the ball out of flowers hands at the goalline - he won't get those anymore.
Where Jones, Kelce, Pat, etc will all have these long historical highlights that extend way past their playing years. [Reply]

That might be Sneed's only big contract in his career, I get trying to maximize earnings, especially when championships are never guaranteed. [Reply]

He's actually been very good for them. Getting beat a few times happens. But overall he's faced some good wideouts and locked them up. Difference is everyone else in that secondary isn't up to his standard. [Reply]
