Chiefs Sneed traded to Titans - Page 33

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

Seems like a pretty lame deal for a shutdown corner and being moved off the tag. The Titans either just hit the jackpot or screwed the pooch I'm guessin'.

I don't know what steps 4-8 are for this team. Maybe Veach wanted to make a trade for a LT/G/WR and couldn't do it with Sneed's money tied up. Maybe he's waiting for the price on someone to come down.

I'm not saying he couldn't have done something only that he clearly didn't want to wait around until TC with Sneed on the books. That's just a fact - he pulled the trigger and took the deal. Why?

I don't know. Hopefully for something that makes us all happy soon...

What? Sneed's contact has $10 million more guaranteed than the next CB contract. Sneed better have three really good years or this is a complete disaster for the Titans.

I said earlier, they had not intent to paying Sneed $19.8. If they didn't have a deal for a 2025 3rd or better , which would be better than a comp pick that isn't guaranteed and unlikely, they probaby rescind the tag. Veach has a plan, in fact, it's probably 2-3 years out. Of course it requires deviation, but Veach was never going to pay a CB.

If all he does from here is bring back Donovan Smith and Mike Danna, this team looks like it has a top 5 defense and a top 5 offense on paper.

It's pretty hard to argue with that a month from the draft.

Not being sarcastic.... Do you really think without Sneed, or at least the Sneed we saw last year, this will be top 5 D?

….and now veach has money to work with to fix other gaps, and work other pending extensions.

He will, and this take is ridiculous.

Yes, we were 1/2 last year and we have good CB Depth.

Watson and Williams are studs, we will be fine guys. If there is one position where I trust Veach with my life on, it’s the CB position

Watson and Williams are solid pieces but calling them studs is an overstatement

The extensions part is crucial! Creed, Trey, Bolton, Reid all have contracts that are expiring

…and Connor, and they were supposedly high on N Johnson before he got hurt.

There is young talent and depth in the corner room.

Watson and Williams make plays, that’s all they do. They are indeed studs!

Connor is a safety but yes Nazeeh Johnson and Nic Jones are some great depth as well
