Or just not franchise tag him at all and let him walk.

Was it worth it to freeze up their ability to be active in free agency… ultimately just to get a 3rd round pick next year in return?

Look out Tyler Boyd's of FA, Bart is horney and has cash

This is a more logical/intriguing critique. Perhaps I’m missing something obvious (probably)…but how did the tag approach ultimately help the Chiefs maximize the return?

Simply to have the flexibility to keep him at a price point they seemingly were never going to retain him? I guess it helped with the perception we might just keep him, even if they knew they actually had no intention.

On the bright side, at least the drama is over with Jones & Sneed. Hopefully Veach will crush the Draft.

This seems not great, but it is literally impossible for me to be upset about this team right now due to the whole 3 Super Bowls in 5 years thing. Wbf and the three-peat is still happening imho
[Reply]

This. And the team rumored to be wanting Sneed early on for a 2 wouldn’t do a trade for with us bc Sneed was asking for an insane contract and they ended up walking away and made other moves.

It feels like the Titans were the only team left. Everyone was saying Colts and Titans for the last week and Schefter pretty much told us the Colts bowed out.

Sneed kinda fucked us here

There's no guarantee you get a 3rd round comp pick from Sneed. The formula isn't concrete, despite all the guessing and calculations from smart NFL people, you still never know what you'll get. Using the tag and trade helps guarantee what you'll get.

And all the other things that come along with the tag (i.e. - you keep a good player for a year if a trade isn't made)

His contract.

4 years. 76 mil
[Reply]

Because the team looked different weeks ago, other players weren't signed, free agency hadn't started, they hadn't gotten any offers for Sneed....

All of this stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum.. they have to make what they think is the best decision at the time and have a plan B and a plan C and a plan Q.

Not the worst trade but far from best.

1. Trading to AFC team and quasi competitor sucks.
2. Comp lighter than expected
3. Free up some cap space is positive

Not sure where we lost real leverage on this. Feel they got better of this unless Veach and Chiefs feel Sneed's knee is suspect.

Gotta trust Veach but feels a little weak on this deal. :-)
[Reply]

Yep we got worse today. We'll see what happens to the 19m. Seemed like signing Jones was a move to go all in for the threepeat. This move seems opposite. Gotta see where the money goes though. Hopefully not to extend guys.
[Reply]

I has the sads. Sneed was rapidly moving up my all-time list of favorite players.

The only thing that dries my tears is the three Super Bowl wins in five years.
[Reply]

I suspect Clark Hunt signing off on the Jones deal was contingent on Sneed’s tag cost or new contract expectations never hitting our books. Obviously easy to say with benefit of hindsight, but the lofty expectation of 2nd rounder or better were asinine. Much of what the media reports is at the behest of teams simply trying to give their own strategic narratives life. Diana Russini’s source for reporting “Chiefs will get first round return” was probably…the Chiefs.

Remember when Schefter was busted for letting the Redskins front office vet his reports, but then nobody gave a damn? They’re all just fulla shit mostly. Even PrettyRicky LOL.

in for sneed fucking up the texans maybe?
