It's the trade off for 0 TD's...

I would have MUCH preferred someone significantly interfere with Reek, than let him score the Fins only TD.

The NFLPA pushes guys to reset the market. Nothing wrong with getting what you can given short careers and the immense toll on your body.

Which makes no sense in a hard cap league. The pie is the pie, and all the pie is eaten by NFLPA members.

They did significantly interfere. They drew a flag and it was totally deserved.

They just let him score anyway.

:-)

Shit occasionally happens.

Sneed is a faster version of James Hasty. The older version of Hasty that played with us - not the younger version with the Jets. That version was faster than Sneed.

But by the time he got here he knew how he had to play and man did he do it.

That's another reason I'm more inclined to extend Sneed despite his age. Hasty was out there taking scalps at 35 yrs old. Now I don't think that's doable in the modern era - too much wide open passing. But at 31 or 32? Yeah, if Sneed's knees hold up, he can do that.

Give him 3-4 more years here and he's going into the Ring of Honor. He's building a hell of a legend in Kansas City. I'd hate to see the story end here.

Sneed is only 26

Yeah - this isn't an NFLPA thing.

This is an agents thing. The NFLPA doesn't truly give a shit if the market gets re-set. As you noted, the cap is what the cap is and very few teams don't spend to it. In fact, the NFLPA writ large may well prefer a less top-heavy allocation of those cap-funds.

But the agents are out to get their individual clients the most money possible (as well they should be) and it's hard to find really good players. So you can spin the wheel and take your chances that some bad team won't overpay your really good player as though he's a great player (and some bad team ALWAYS will) or you can be aggressive in your efforts at retaining said player before he hits the market.

Dude turns 27 in 3 days...

As far as 2nd contract players go, he's a couple years overaged. A 3 year extension gets you 27, 28 and 29 - those are usually pretty good years for CBs but the wall does come fast and hard for them.

A guy like Revis was one of the best CBs in football still at 29. By 31 he was barely NFL quality. It's just something to consider.

I guess you're not old enough to remember Albert Lewis, Kevin Ross, Deron Cherry, and Lloyd Burrus

If you count Mahomes as a Dorsey pick (since he was the GM at the time), is Sneed Veach’s best draft pick?

Yes, I know the story behind Veach and Mahomes.

Can we really afford to lose Sneed? Think about that.

Absolutely. We have other great DBs and with Veach's track record finding CB and Safety we will reload.
