The return no doubt sucks, but I'm already over it. There's absolutely no positives about the trade itself, but at least we have some resolution on the 2nd big domino, and now we can see the rest of their plan.
I bet they are planning on trading their 2025 2nd rounder to move up for a LT or WR. |

Sigh. It is what it is. Ya can't keep everybody. In the end, Veach has earned a long leash...but it sucks to see Sneed go, and especially since we got Jack and Shit for him this year.
But, he's only one player, and you can't keep everyone. Find another good to great corner in later rounds and this all becomes a faded memory. Good luck LJ...we're gonna miss ya... |

Chiefs weren’t paying any one single player $19M. They weren’t beating the jets contract for Smith, and that’s a terrible risky deal anyway. Miss me with the he only cost about $7M. That’s if he doesn’t hardly play bay games. You don’t sign a value contract and then hope the player is injured or on the bench. You pay someone you expect to be there the whole season - I.e.: up to $20M. Literally no other left tackles were signed yet besides Cornelius Lucas who resigned with his own team?
Having that cap space available early in free agency may have been semi useful, but they have similar sum of all parts guys still on the market. It’s not a calamity. I rather have the 2025 3rd than a 2024 4th. If you can sensibly rule out non-factors of them willing to pay him $19M or him to even play on the tag, what’s left? Who did we not sign in the first few waves of free agency that you wanted? Austin Ekeler? Maybe would have liked that, also possible he just hates the Chiefs and doesn’t want to do a Niel Smith.

frees up enough cap space to sign Tradavious White or Xavien Howard and possibly Donovan Smith

There are still plenty of guys on the market to fill the needs that are still there. Still need a backup QB, Back Up/3rd Down Back, Defensive End, and Left Tackle. They have cap space and the draft now to address those. |

Again... Chiefs feel good about their DB room and were never going to spend $19.8m on Sneed. This therefore make sense and the compensation makes sense. It's less than I would have liked, but it a whole lot better than "maybe a comp pick". We have $19.8m extra in cap space to make this team better. I loved Sneed, but unfortunately this is how Dynasties have to operate and keep the best 22 on the field, not just the best CB. |

There is a 0% chance the Titans make the playoffs and this move comes back to bite us. |

Are you reeruned... Clark pays to the cap (plus) each and every year. You should really look at how the NFL compensation salary Cap works...

The Chiefs didn't want Sneed at $20 million *and* wanted to reward him for past contributions. It is what it is. The Chiefs assumed teams would be willing to compete for Sneed, even though they knew the Chiefs couldn't really afford to keep him. For whatever reason, it didn't happen.
It's clear to me that we have plans for the money. |

Their probably wasn’t as many teams interested in trading and signing him to that type of contract than we though maybe , we need to fill out a few other spots and sign our draft class .

Bad compensation. But it’s still better than having Sneed decide to hold out in July.

**** that... Maybe divisional rivals. Sneed was a perfect fit for Detroit who had picks and cap to make the trade. I highly doubt Detroit was thinking, "shit, we can't trade with the Chiefs, we may give them something that will beat us in the first Superbowl we would ever play." No one wanted to pay Sneed the average of $20m per, with over $50m Guaranteed and give up a 2nd.
