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
Play like the best CB in the NFL, get fucked out of even 2nd team all-pro, and find out you're not even worth the trade compensation for Dee Ford a month after he offsides'd Tom Brady to another fucking Super Bowl [Reply]
If you guys want a little something to feel better about this trade, Sneed kinda shoulda allowed a TD on the 9ers final offensive play in OT. Thankfully they weren't smart enough to block Chris Jones and he had to rush the throw.

No, he absolutely was not sitting out. Zero chance in hell.
But since Taylor evidently repeats anything he's told, I don't doubt for a second Sneed's agents would've fed him that. Because why not?
For all we know his agents told the Chiefs that. They could have called his bluff but it meant they would have had to restructure someone else for cap space. [Reply]
I wonder if we got fucked out of a 2nd this year from the Colts just because of Sneed's contract demands. Man, that's gonna stick with me for a bit... [Reply]

No other GM would afford us the luxury of getting out in front of the market. It would be counterintuitive for the entire rest of the league to do anything other than wait it out. Sucks but pretty cut and dried. [Reply]

Having a reasonable take on a trade is not dumb. Calling others for doing so is dumb.
The likelyhood that a guy like Sneed who has never sniffed a big contract in his life would sit out a year just because he is not happy with the $20 million he is about to play for in the upcoming season... that is a farfetched DUMB take. [Reply]

Came up at least $2M per year short of the salary he was hoping to get as well. [Reply]
Verderame on his pod confirming Sneed’s knee was a major issue with his value as well as his price tag.
Sneed originally injured his knee in practice the week before the Eagles Super Bowl. Then 5 months later came back and had to miss all of camp/preseason with swelling to that knee. Then he was on the injury report throughout the season with that knee causing him problems. Doesn’t matter if he didn’t miss a game. That’s 2023.
There’s a reason so many teams stopped calling. If you’re a GM interested in Sneed and you learn that not only is he wanting $22 million AAV with $55 million gauranteed, but he’s a 27 year old corner who has never been an all pro and has had a knee issue for over a year?

Good thing I don’t give two shits about your DUMB opinion. [Reply]

Cool.
Done.
Again - a day ago it was 'keep sneed or get draft capital, either is great!' Now it's 'man, good thing we dumped sneed for nothing but cap space...'
Was anyone at all okay with that prospect yesterday? Eager to do it? Now it just elicits a shoulder shrug or worse, vehement defense?
This is rearview mirror rationalizing.
If we weren't prepared to restructure, we shouldn't have tagged him. It's a bad practice and it's going to cause us more problems going forward because now the tag bluff has no teeth to it. [Reply]
