Spags wanting someone else just like him: size, speed, can play inside/outside, can hit. Take the few penalties called anytime.

Fare Thee Well LJ

Yeah, I don't disagree. They've at least partially made it better with the performance-based pay system, but it's certainly not much compared to what some of these rookies could be making on the market. I particularly feel bad for young players who have the potential to be great but then end up with a career-altering injury that prevents them from ever "getting the bag."

But still, I'd rather incentivize young players to put their head down and work for the big payday rather than the old system, as you alluded to.

I guess I'm surprised that he is 28 already coming off 4 years on a rookie contract.

Thanks LJ for a spectacular run with us.

Would CP have given him this deal? We have a stud in McDuffie so hell no.

I can't see it. McDuffie is the better player and that would be a ton of cap space eaten up by the secondary when he gets paid.

Personally, I'm happy for Sneed. He played his ass off for us right up to the very last defensive snap of his time here. He didn't make a "Business decision" like our old Raider lovin' scum bag Marcus Peters. He worked hard and played even harder to prove to the NFL that he'll lay his body on the line to win a game. It sucks in today's modern cap era that we can't keep everybody that's a draft success. But, props to Sneed and his family for gaining life changing financial security.

I'm glad for him that he got paid. That said, the Tits gave a compensation worthy of a mediocre corner with bad knees and I hope that is exactly what they get. If he blows out his knee, sits on IR for the year, and is never the same again, then I'll just laugh and chalk it up to karma for the Tits. F them!

What a great point!

He just turned 27 less than 2 months ago

What does this even mean?

What are the Titans doing?

I think their owner is a mini-nightmare that hasn't gotten much press yet. And since she's made it clear she's calling the shots now she is all-in on the team winning ASAP.

Too lazy to embed Pete Sweeney’s tweet,

But is it normal for neither team to have acknowledged that this trade happened yet?

It’s almost been a week. Seems odd, but maybe this is SOP?
