Trade: Chiefs are finalizing a deal to send franchise CB L’Jarius Snead to the Titans, per league sources.
Chiefs are expected to receive a 2025 3rd-round pick, in addition to a 2024 7th-round pick flop, while Snead will sign a new contract. Trade is pending physical for Sneed. pic.twitter.com/GWjyKAgxZq

That's what makes Veach so good is he makes the tough decisions to let people go and work the draft and gets value with his picks.
Sneed did the smart thing - The Chiefs probably did as well.
Ultimately I don't think there are any real losers in this deal. KC doesn't have a lot of fat on its cap that cost it a quality guy {cough}FrankClark{coughcough}.
It just worked out the way it kinda had to.
But I'll miss the shit out of Sneed, man. That dude was a blast and a great guy to root for. [Reply]

They also need the money for Creed, Butker, Trey and Bolton who they are trying to get signed.
And ultimately it seems that if the Chiefs have a choice between an offensive player or defensive player, they'll be more likely to spend the money on an offensive player (and Chris Jones).
But really, I don't even know that it was the cap that cost us Sneed. It was the knee.
I don't think the organization trusted it. If they did, I think they'd have still gotten a deal done. [Reply]

For sure. I’m rooting for Sneed in all non-KC games. Seems like a great dude and absolutely badass. Hopefully he plays well and gets another big contract. [Reply]

Sneed is awesome. I think the KC defense will miss him this year. Mahomes & the offense will need to put more points on the board this time around if they want to win another ring. Not gonna have two lockdown CB's in the secondary to pull off a 17-10 victory in the Playoffs like they did last year. [Reply]

How many points do you think Sneed is worth? [Reply]

I don't know, but in that Baltimore game Sneed directly robbed the Ravens of 7 points by forcing that fumble on the goal line. And outside of that play, Sneed helped the rest of the defense hold the Ravens to 10 points overall in the game. [Reply]

I agree. I don’t think it can be overstated what it means to have 2 lockdown corners versus just 1. I love what McDuffie brings but he’s not going to be the same guy that Sneed was in some coverage capacity (but can be better in other aspects). That’s going to hurt the pass rush and dilute everything the defense does.
Sneed wasn’t as perfect as the “no touchdowns allowed to a WR all year until Shakir in the playoffs” vibe, but he was really transformative and allowed everyone else to thrive.
I’m fine letting him go. Limited resources and it made sense. [Reply]

The defense likely won't be good enough this season to hold up if the Chiefs offense goes 16 straight possessions without a TD.
Crazy that the Chiefs were able to do that between the AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl... and still hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
The good news is the Chiefs offense seems unlikely to be in that position again. [Reply]

Same. There is nothing bad I can say about him. He was drafted in the 4th round and easily outplayed that contract. Not once do I recall him ever complaining about it. He just did his job and now he’s reaping the rewards of it. I genuinely hope he has a great season and the rest of his career. His playoff performance last year will always be remembered. [Reply]
