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

If the Titans were going to do it anyway, what difference would have made if you had done the deal with slightly better compensation for the Chiefs?
Yeah, I agree with you there. I guess the CB market has lost trade value then. Sneed is a better player than Marcus Peters but we got a second for him.
It's disappointing any way you slice. Veach said they were happy to keep him but this is a cap dump move. [Reply]

I agree to an extent. I dont think an all-in is necessary for a 3-peat. We're still a very young team. Let those guys develop, patch the holes in the offense, and I think we have a great shot at it.
You have to define what “all in” means.
It doesn’t plundering your team into salary cap hell. That’s full retard, see Chargers, Saints, ect [Reply]

He does.
A team physical is just confirming what they know is an issue for the player and to make sure nothing is unknown. They already knew about the knee and concussion issues.
Nobody that has been in the league 4-5 years has a physical with no issues, it’s risk management for team prior to signing the deal. [Reply]
I can understand to some extent his frustration… leaving a dynasty in KC for a rebuild in Tennessee.
But either he accepts less than his market value to stay in KC… or he decides to get paid.

Chiefs didn't want to insult J Sneed by lowballing him and offering a below market deal. It sucks we had to let him go, glad he understands it's business.
That's what makes Veach so good is he makes the tough decisions to let people go and work the draft and gets value with his picks. [Reply]

I mean, sometimes that’s the case. But in other cases, the player doesn’t have a choice. The team decides to offer a contract to the player or not and a few guys that have left mentioned KC never offered them a deal.
Even Clark Hunt mentioned this while CJ95 was in limbo…that they were still deciding to offer him a contract or not. [Reply]

O. City-how would you rate his grill? Was all that work done after he got his big shiny new contract? [Reply]

I read that exact article yesterday, you can really tell he hated leaving the culture we have here where the vibes are always elevated and cool... but you priced us out Sneed, we couldn't afford you
Now, just like Reek... you will get your money, but will sorely miss the constant winning and winners atmosphere full of comradery
