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
Would have been better off not tagging him at all. Having 20m in cap tied up through the peak FA wave for some minimal gains didn't really seem worth it. [Reply]
Chiefs were in a financial bind. Obviously they loved Sneed. Creed Humphrey, Nick Bolton, and Tre Smith all have contracts up soon. It’s a shame , but the business, and thus part of being a dynasty that drafts so many young, talented players in the later rounds.

You dont wanna pay 19 mill and have him blow a knee 4 games in then you're stuck holding that bag.
That's like the only explanation that makes sense.
But if Sneed has another career year and his knee isn't a problem, then this trade is gonna look VERY foolish. [Reply]

Good for him. Hopefully he does well with the money for his future
Right?
Couldn't even get the 7th on its own. Had to fucking swap them.
I mean it's just a complete kick in the dick. It's that awful scene from Draft Day and Ron Carthon just called Brett Veach a pancake eating motherfucker.
Veach got beat. Badly. And again - we have pending FAs that may get tagged next year. Folks will remember this. [Reply]

No kidding.
They put a nearly $20 million freeze on their available cap space with the tag and all they are getting in return for that is a third round pick next year. [Reply]

If you were completely unwilling to keep him on the tag (and we clearly were) then you don't fucking tag him.
It's a bad bluff. It is, at best, mitigation. [Reply]
A 2025? This is what happens when a team team is desperate to get out from under an obligation. Some of you fools may argue otherwise but reality sucks. A 2025 3rd for a supposed shutdown corner. [Reply]

That cap space is going to be used on valuable players like Mike Danna. [Reply]
