And the list of possibilities could go on and on. Veach isn’t an idiot. If this was the best deal for the Chiefs….. in Veach we trust.
Veach has made several miscalculations in his time here.
He's been excellent but by no means infallible.
This was a mistake. If this was all you could get, keep him. And if you were unwilling to keep him, don't tag him and lock up your cap space for the first two weeks of FA.
And teams/agents also have memories. Good luck running this bluff next year, Brett...

This was just bad. He got this wrong.
But Jewish Rabbi and the ladyboy cucks that like his every post don't agree. Surely he must be right and the rest of us are all wrong... [Reply]

You wanna fuckin fight I’ll meet your ass at the George Brett statue right fucking now you pussy [Reply]
It was always really unlikely they'd pay BOTH of them.
Terrible trade? Veach got fleeced? Man, the market is what the market is. He can't force someone to give KC a high pick AND pay that salary. You take the deal you can get when you've decided to pay Jones.
It frees up some cash, and although so many want to cry that all that are left is scrubs, guys we picked up on the cheap are a big reason we won the Super Bowl just a few months ago. We won because of DEPTH. We weathered injuries better than everyone else because of it.
It is what it is. Let's get on with it, and win the damned thing again. [Reply]

I'm usually the optimist, but why wouldn't they have him play on the Tag if there wasn't any immediate compensation this year? Unless there is more to this story or more moves coming, it's just an odd decision. [Reply]

Sounds like his knee might not be in the best condition. [Reply]

Maybe they think something is better than nothing? I dunno maybe the team doctor thinks his knee is a timebomb that will explode at anytime so they got what they could.
You dont wanna pay 19 mill and have him blow a knee 4 games in then you're stuck holding that bag. [Reply]

That's like the only explanation that makes sense.
But if Sneed has another career year and his knee isn't a problem, then this trade is gonna look VERY foolish. [Reply]
