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
Pretty much shit trade with it being a 2025 3rd. The fucking Bucs got more for a worse CB. That sucks. I'm just reading into it but there has to be something with his knee that has both the Chiefs and other teams nervous. The Tits have the space to take the chance. [Reply]
Other teams know that Clark is cheap, won’t pay his players. The tag on Sneed was a mirage because he was never going to pay him, not even for a year. Result - shit comp.
Let's look at it like this, we took a 4th round pick (Sneed) and got the best 4 years out of his career, used it to win 2 superbowls and then traded it for a 3rd.

I agree and given the choice we had, I think we did the right thing. There’s no way we could have paid him what he wanted and compete. Sure there will be a drop off, but I believe we have a stable of competent corners. He got his rings and now he wants to get paid. Fair enough. I get it’s a business and he got what he wanted.
Now let’s see what we can do with the cap space. [Reply]

That's win!
Exactly this! The patriots way, was they just let those players walk and got nothing out of it. It was a win. [Reply]

Give me Sneed.
Also we still had money on the books and restructures to create more cap if needed.
Sneed was never part of our future plans. That’s why CJ95 got the bag. We have a wealth of riches at DB. You’d rather roll with Morris at LT and have Sneed, or have a better LT, and the rest of the cornerbacks on last years youngest defense in the league? Protect Mahomes, AT ALL COSTS! We’re stacked at db, let Peach cook! [Reply]
It sucks that we don't have more ammo for this years draft but if the chiefs knew they weren't going to pay him it was the right thing to do to let him get paid elsewhere. Sneed earned that much with his performance.
Teams are on to Veach. It's going to be a lot harder to pull off bargain deals when in dynasty mode. Seems teams aren't even willing to pay market value. [Reply]
They got a 3rd round pick, the ONLY 3rd round pick that the ONLY team willing to sign Sneed had available.
Unless you thought he was worth and getting a high 2nd (#38 overall), what else did you want? Colts, Lions, all these other rumored teams had more reasonable 2’s but there was no contract for Sneed there.
In the vacuum of take the best return that the only team willing to pay/play Sneed, I think they did just fine. If the Titans had a 2024 3rd, maybe we get it, but that simply doesn’t exist. I suppose if you want to belly ache you can be annoyed we didn’t net an extra 7th rounder - the Chiefs 7th rounder lol literally the last pick in the entire draft not counting 5 compensatory picks. Now they can get off the draft board earlier and start working the phones for UDFAs. See? Winning.
