Ooof.

Not sure if it was posted here but earlier today an article cited the Athletic saying the Titans had agreed to a 2nd (didn't say year) but fell apart when Sneed wouldn't budge on salary. Man this is a huge dropoff. Will be interesting to see what he got.

Must have been bad reporting- they signed him to an extension

Yup.

Nate Taylor man. That guy just doesn't ever get a damn thing right. I don't know if he allows himself to get manipulated by sources or something but he hasn't known his ass from a hole in the ground the last 2-3 years.

Yup.

If this was the best he could do, he could've done it 3 weeks ago.

This is an L. And a fairly bad one at that.

He overplayed his hand and then blinked.

I couldn't disagree more. Veech had no leverage unless he was willing to play Sneed on the tag and that only works if they rework a bunch of other guys to get more cap room to address other needs.

It would have set off a domino effect.

Sneeds contract demands also clearly played a roll in all of this.

I mean yea it sucks we didn't get more but the writing on the wall has been that is going to be a 3rd rounder for a long while now. It sucks but really there weren't many other options unless you want to scrap other plans to play the guy on the tag which they clearly didn't want to do.

So we drafted him in the 4th, got 4 great years out of him and traded him for a 3rd and $20MM in cap space.

And Ten is going to be dogshit next year so that 3rd may be fairly high.

I was actually thinking this about the Titans. Probably they'll be better, certainly with Sneed, so it's a bummer it's not this year when we could've used it in a really good WR/OT class...but I still think they'll be terrible and that pick will be at a decent point in the round in 2025.

just last season tying up that cap room on Jones tag handcuffed us. Maybe Veach didn’t want to repeat that?
