I'm looking forward to it. Those guys are going to beat the absolute shit out of each other and at some point, the dude that's losing the matchup, is likely to get himself an unsportsmanlike penalty in the process.
Not trying to quibble, but after reading your post I looked both players up. Innerwebs have them both at 191 pounds with Diggs being 2 inches taller. I was surprised as I also thought Diggs was quite a bit bigger than Reek. [Reply]

In that earlier game this season, Diggs had 11 targets, 4 receptions, 24 yards, 0 TDs, and I would bet Mr. Sneed had the coverage on most of them. [Reply]
In my opinion, this is just the circle closing. 30 years ago and one week we went overtime to beat the Steelers after an incredible late fourth-quarter come back to force overtime. The blocked punt by Keith Cash, the recovery in the air by Freddie Jones, and the fourth down pass from Montana to Barnett to tie it.
30 years ago today, yes, January 16, 1994 the Chiefs went into Houston, a heavy underdog, and beat the Oilers to go to the AFC championship game.
The divisional opponent may be different, but the result is going to be the same. [Reply]

Well in that AFCCG Montana was knocked out with a concussion. Let’s hope that part doesn’t happen again. [Reply]

Sneed has been a fixture out wide in 2023 after lining up primarily in the slot over his first three seasons, and he’s held up quite well in several tough matchups. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo asks a lot of his cornerbacks, and Sneed is sticky in coverage, getting into receivers' hip pockets and becoming very hard to shake with lateral movement or in the air at the catch point.
Sneed could stand to cut down on penalties, but his aggressive nature would be welcome on many teams, and his inside-outside versatility is a nice benefit, as well.

I would pay that in a nano-second. Hell give him 4 or 5 years at that salary please.
Chris Jones is #1 FWIW:

A tag for Jones would land north of $33 million, which perhaps helps him test the open market for the first time in his career.
Jones is not only one of the best interior pass-rushers in the game right now; he’s one of the best ever. He is also capable of lining up outside of tackles as a five-technique, bending around the edge and getting home.

Love Jones, but I would not want to be the team saddled with that contract. [Reply]

Surprised they have him so high on the top FA list considering they never evaluate him very high. But if they can sign him for that, then it would be a huge win for KC. [Reply]

If you can get Sneed for less than $18M per year compared to Jones at $30M per year, I think you go with Sneed. Maybe spend the $12M difference on the receiving group. [Reply]
