WHAT!? Why not just let him play on the tag for a season!?

I'm having trouble processing this deal lol

The options were:

- let Sneed walk, have money when FA starts OR use it how you wish, and likely get a 3rd comp pick next year after there’s a bidding war for Sneed

- keep Sneed on the tag and have a great corner this year, then let him walk next year and get a ‘26 comp maybe

- tag him, trade him for nothing new this year, and have money to spend weeks after FA began.

Again, love Veach, SBs, etc… I just don’t get choosing option 3 from above.

There was no guarantee we get a third round pick.

An older Charlton Davis got significantly more compo last week. We got bent over. Irrespective of what Mahomes does or who Veach drafts.

They are not related

Was Davis demanding a huge contract and has a dodgy knee? If not then it's not the same.

I wish we could’ve found a way to keep him for that (or more likely some watered down derivative), but I get it.

Blame the Chris Jones contract, guys.

I have a sharp set of knives held in reserve.

Don't worry.

Maybe there were 30 million reasons...

Or a 100 million, hard to keep track.

Terrible, would've rather we kept him this year on the tag and then let him leave after next year and get a comp pick. terrible

Like I said…. This cap space is for extensions for our star players

The #Chiefs loved Sneed as a player and person. But others — Creed Humphrey, Nick Bolton, Tre Smith, et al. — are coming up on extensions too. KC needs cap space and is now in line for a high comp pick. https://t.co/c2z7yuuT2H

We still have a top 5 secondary even without Sneed, so the handwringing over this obviously necessary trade is hilarious. Way bigger needs elsewhere on the roster. We need the fucking money.

Think about you're saying for a moment. Do you believe a GM is going to compromise his job/organization in order to blackball the Chiefs? Cmon dude.

I can think of a number of teams where the GM’s #1 job is blackballing the Chiefs.

This is crazy talk.

No one outside of KC knows who Bryan Cook, Jaylen Watson, Josh Williams and Chamari Conner are.

McDuffie is a star, and Reid is a plus starter, but the rest of these guys are just OK players. If any of those players had to go cover Tyreek Hill for some reason we're fucked.

The Chiefs will be just fine on defense but holding teams to 10 and 7 points in the postseason is likely a thing of the past.

My only guess is Sneed's knee was troublesome. IDK, it's rare Veach loses a trade.
[Reply]

Happy for Sneed came here played his tail off 2 Rings and Chiefs get a little something back for him.
[Reply]

I haven’t read the whole thread, but the only universe in which this trade makes sense is the one in which Veach thinks the Chiefs will get less than a third in a comp pick. So we can conclude Sneed’s knee is rotted hamburger.
