Guys, they chose Jones.

It was always really unlikely they'd pay BOTH of them.

Terrible trade? Veach got fleeced? Man, the market is what the market is. He can't force someone to give KC a high pick AND pay that salary. You take the deal you can get when you've decided to pay Jones.

It frees up some cash, and although so many want to cry that all that are left is scrubs, guys we picked up on the cheap are a big reason we won the Super Bowl just a few months ago. We won because of DEPTH. We weathered injuries better than everyone else because of it.

It is what it is. Let's get on with it, and win the damned thing again.

Im not crazy about trade comp but let’s be real, teams knew we were trying to unload him and weren’t willing to give up picks. Main reason for the deal was not to pay him knowing spags has put on a fucking master class developing DBs.

I’m more disappointed at stupid teams doing stupid shit. Does Tennessee really think he’s the last missing piece to put will Levis into the Super Bowl? I don’t understand what they’re doing here

Chiefs were in a financial bind. Obviously they loved Sneed. Creed Humphrey, Nick Bolton, and Tre Smith all have contracts up soon. It’s a shame , but the business, and thus part of being a dynasty that drafts so many young, talented players in the later rounds.

Oh well. All we can do now is move the fuck on. Let’s hope that pick is put to the best use possible and you never know. We could get someone great from this.

Obviously I understand it’s hard to feel great right now but we still have a young defense, Mahomes got a Weapon. We keeping Mcduffie and extra cap space to use now or in 2025 when we need it.

I don’t understand this trade at all. This can’t be accurate
[Reply]

This is my biggest problem as well.

The Chiefs just traded one of the best CB’s in the league and are basically getting no immediate compensation in return this year… other than flipping a 7th round pick.
[Reply]

Remember we all flipped shit when Veach traded Peters.

Let Veach cook!!!!!!!!!
[Reply]

Maybe the Chiefs know the knee could be an issue going forward.

Maybe Sneed told the Chiefs he wouldn’t play on the tag to force a trade?

And the list of possibilities could go on and on. Veach isn’t an idiot. If this was the best deal for the Chiefs….. in Veach we trust.
[Reply]

Yeah but they could have had that 2 weeks ago and used it at the start of FA.
[Reply]

Given that guaranteed money I don't think it's surprising it was a third. The 2025 though. Still, honestly wanted the cap space to insure we won't have a rookie LT so feeling very good about this season and the draft flexibility.
[Reply]

I think the hang up with some people not wanting Bolton is he isn't a coverage LB, which is highly, HIGHLY coveted in this pass heavy league.
[Reply]

I was the most optimistic thinking there was a chance we got a late first.. even with that.. at the end of the day I would have been disappointed, but not terribly pissed if it was their 3rd this year. Didn’t even pick up on it that it was a 25 until about 10 min in

You know you are allowed to judge different transactions. His drafting has been elite.

The CJ debacle was a clear loss that compounded this offseason. This Sneed thing looks just as bad in the context of threepeating THIS Year:

Nobody is calling for his head. He sometimes cops losses like the rest of us.
[Reply]

LOL AND WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED THE CRY BABIES WOULD COME OUT TO PLAY? :-).

For those who don't get it. The only CB in recent history who has been traded for a big haul is Jalen Ramsey. And he was a much better player and younger too. We got a second for Peters who was younger too. Sneed's age, injury history and contract demands were always gonna be a factor that limited the return we were getting.

All in all it was a deal that had to be made and we move forward now with cap space to bring a few more pieces in hopefully. The bottom line is these other teams are NOT trying to help KC. Whether it's trading with us or trading up or down in the draft. There's a different rule for us now and that comes from winning. It is what it is.
[Reply]

I don't get the purpose of the deal at this point.

For a future 3rd? That's just such a light return.

What are they doing with the cap space? How many external pieces are they adding with this? I don't see a T that's worth it.

If the space is used to lock up internal guys, that's also disappointing (could have been done differently).
