He still thinks he's getting traded basically.

Yes, Rickey said Sneed's contract demands are the snag and guesses he still gets traded.

Well... I'm buying. Sneed is asking for everything at the negotiation table. Otherwise the trade would be done.

Ballard reminds me a bit of King Carl

Sneed wants $20+ million but doesn’t have the resume. Remember he’s never been an all pro.

The corner is Chicago ****ed his market

So only the guys that make all pro are the ones who can get paid?

Definitely not true with quarterbacks, lol

The reports early were that this would take awhile.

All this is is posturing.

Sneed wants to max his value out and the Colts want to get away with paying the least amount they can.

Or anyone else really. People just say that because there aren't any other negative points to bring up.

Holy shit you make it sound like a business!

Looks like you are the dipshit. Its dragging out from Sneeds demands. Thats what is being reported and makes total sense. So STFU.

I'm just very grateful this didn't loose us Hollywood Brown. Veach found a way. Now what happens with Sneed matters but not as much.

Originally I thought we should get a first for LJ but now I would rather just have him back for sure. I would have missed him next year anyway so welcome back LJ. :)

Agree, its all bull shit

Put on the tape and just watch him play.

Basing contracts and trades off of BS post season honors, which are highly political, is BS.

Sneed is playing it perfectly. He's not leaving KC unless he gets the money he wants.

If it comes to playing for a trash team for less than he feels he's worth, or playing on the tag in kc going for the 3peat at 19 million, that's a no brainer.

If he gets the bag he will go elsewhere. If they want to be cheap he'll take his 19 and another ring.

I mean, that's what I've said all along. If we aren't blown away by a trade, there's not need to move him.

It’s called setting the market. Happens all the time

CB is the most volatile position in the sport. Year over year performance isn't consistent for the vast majority of corners. And he's one bad step and a flared up knee from seeing his earning potential cut in half (or worse).

He could get 3/45 in practical guarantees with a 4th year tacked on for cap reasons, he should probably do it. The knee won't get better as he ages and he's so damn physical.

And again, there are very very few CBs who are great year over year.

I dunno - playing on the tag is almost reckless to me for Sneed.

Hey, I'm good with getting the band back together...

We could be in for a dominant season.

Pioli did it as well.

Took too much pride in a clean cap sheet.

Gonna have to take some chances to win, Chris. Scared money don't make money.

Colts are 54-60-1 under Ballard. Never won the AFC South. Results kind of speak for themselves there.

Don’t think Sneed has had a ‘down’ year since he’s been with us. Not one.

He plays his ‘usual game’ next season and he gets a kings ransom from whoever.

As long as he believes in his knee, this might be the best way to play it. Win another ring then get a bag next year (although he will be 28, but if he stays healthy all year someone will pay him).

You’re always wrong so it’s almost a guarantee Sneed is traded and the deal isn’t a market setter.

STFU. I can comment how I like. I don't throw jabs at people like dick. Everyone on this sight gets shit wrong.

Except it seems like there kind of is now, though. My understanding is we are just barely under the cap. We still need some things. Seems like they were kind of counting on this trade getting done as part of the offseason plan. Maybe not what do we know.

We've thus far lost so few meaningful players, that if we can keep this dude its a total run it back again threepeat scenario

Some wanna trade and some wanna keep, count me in the keep camp

Lets go all in on making history with 3 consecutive championship seasons... because as long as we have Mahomes, we'll be just fine dealing with the aftermath

Yeah, I'll admit to wanting Mike Williams on a decent deal and a 1-year LT isn't a horrible idea either. So, I get the desire to get Sneed's money off the books.

This. Trade or keep we have options.

Temper your enthusiasm. There's many a slip between the cup and lip.

Play this pitbull on the tag this year, get that threepeat

His stock will be sky high, and he can cash in later

Nate Taylor said today that everyday this trade isn't done the compensation and his price will have to go down. Teams just don't view him like he is viewing himself.

I’m not confident at all Sneed actually would go through with playing on the tag. We need resolution on this before the draft or we risk a similar situation as with Jones last season in not actually knowing our needs or having the best use of resources.

:shrug:

Rickey seems to be buying into this as well but we'll see. Hammering out the contract details is all the last step. As for the trade itself that is finished. Not sure what KC is getting.

In a nut shell Sneed is a Colt. He was even liking Colt stuff on IG yesterday.

I nailed this one!! Been preaching for us to sign him to a 5/110

Maybe Pittman and Jonathan Taylor?

I highly doubt that. We could draft a first round WR that plays on the cheap for five years. This is draft capitol alone.

Nailing it that we were bringing him back? You didn’t nail shit.

Taylor would make up for the CEH blunder.

If we trade with Indy I'm assuming we're flipping our second round picks.

No way... maybe we flip the first but if not we are taking their 2nd and keeping our 2nd.

Keeping the pivotal defensive players fully in tact + Brown + Whatever we draft = Ideal situation in my eyes.

I prefer a lock down corner over whatever we could get in the 2nd. Especially if we're going for history this ONE year.

Yeah, the only thing that is a wildcard in this is how much of a cap increase next year will bring. It will definitely lessen the pain if it jumps north of $30 million like this year. That may be the saving grace.

Otherwise, it could get dicey.

One area where Veach does not excel in is trade compensation with big name players. We saw it with the Frank Clark overpayment and Tyreek's return offer from the Jets.
He is great at smaller acquistions who turn out to outperform their worth.
So, in this scenario, I wouldn't be shocked if the offer was a 3rd and a 4th.

He got a 2 for Dee Ford who was virtually worthless and brokedick for the rest of his career.

Hill went for exactly market value after the Adams trade in line with a guy who wanted to be a certain place and had leverage.

Stop with nonsense.

He wasn't at the time of the acquisition. A 13 sack starting DE for a late 2nd is incredible value.

People knew exactly who he was and how one dimensional Ford played.

Clark was valued dramatically higher at the time as a 3-down player yet you’re inconsistently just judging him by the results after the fact.

There wasn’t any great value for the 49ers getting an oft-injured Ford and having to give him a huge contract. Are you high?

LMAO

If we want to threepeat, the only answer is to bring him back for a year IMO

He is a genuine lockdown corner, he did it all last season shutting down everyones so called stud... almost blanked all their sorry asses

If he won't fight the tag, if he wants a chance to be something never seen before... he will be a key cog in our threepeat, it makes sense for everyone involved

Do we maybe have a "down" year (10-7) in 25?

Who cares you momo, we just had the only threepeat in history

They shared similar profiles. Clark was obviously more explosive but the discrepancy wasn't to the point of dishing out a first and a second.
I am not saying Seattle fleeced us but surely Veach had more leverage than he realized at the time. You can draft your own DE with that compensation by moving up in the first.

:rolleyes:

My God, look at the 2019 draft... light on edge players. Maybe we get Montez Sweat, but why take that chance. We needed Clark and Mahomes was on a rookie deal. He didn't live up to the contract in the regular seasons, but he flat out balled in the playoffs. So we overpaid, who gives a ****. Take that into consideration with the new "dog" attitude he helped bring to the D and it lead to a SB the same year...all

Remember we don't have to trade him. If you don't get the value you're looking for, just keep him for the three peat run.

He was traded for a 2019 first and a 2020 second. That's basically equivalent to a first and a third in the upcoming draft.

Who were they supposed to go up and get in that draft with that trade compensation?

(PS - I know for a fact that Montez Sweat was not on their draft board for injury reasons.)

The Clark trade didn't end up being great. The Ford trade ended up being perfectly fine. Hill was traded for market value.

Ridiculous to say he doesn't know how to handle high end trades as a result of that small sample size.

Hopefully not by the Chiefs at that amount.

Not with Mcduffie

The Chiefs are no longer a fledgling Kia franchise. That has to finance the high risk to take hold

Couple reports on Twitter this morning from Colts insiders that the deal is done and should happen today. Saying a 3rd this year (pick 84) and an additional 2025 pick. Color me disappointed if this is the return.

Need Sneed to further the greed

maybe the knee bleed

Damn that would be disappointing.

Underwhelming as ****!

Chiefs have to get rid of sneed and don't hold all the cards here. A 2024 3rd by itself would suck but if the additional pick is a 2nd rounder in 2025 then that would be a great trade.

This happening means they clearly have chosen McDouffie as the CB they will pay big to keep.

I think his past injuries is what really hurt his value.

He has knee issues, broke his collarbone and a concussion. It’s a very sketchy slope.

That compensation sucks. Really wanted a 2

If we get a 3 this year and a 2 next, I can live with it.

Anything less will be highly disappointing.

We’ll see . . . . .

We aren’t getting a 3 and a 2. More likely a 3 and 4. Or a 3 and 5 and 6 or some such.

I’m disappointed, wanted to keep him.

Ditto, **** this.

So for the 1st round pick, a CB, T, and WR are all in play.

Paul Blart is pretty good about going into the draft having a complete team and not NEEDING to draft anything.

Seems to be working.

Best case might be a conditional 3 in 25

I trust in Veach but I think a 3rd is no bueno. Might as well keep him unless there is something we know that others don't.

**** that. I’d rather just keep him! Needs to be at least a second in there.

Guess we will see who is right

The issue is $$. Don’t want to keep him on the tag because it’s expensive. If you don’t trade him this year there certainly no guarantee his trade value is any higher next year if you want to go through all this again.

We don’t have any leverage outside a bidding war which isn’t happening.

Unless you sign him to an extension with a low hit this year and look to trade next year. If the value drops, so be it, but you got him for a year. I don't know, it just feels like the whole league is refusing to do business with us.
