Chiefs Sneed gets paid - Page 2

New #Titans CB L'Jarius Sneed has agreed to terms on a massive new contract now that his deal to Tennessee is done, getting a 4-year, $76.4M deal, sources say. It includes $55M guaranteed and a $20M signing bonus. One of the highest-paid CBs. pic.twitter.com/DkMRU0yMoD

It just doesn't get better than L'Jarius Sneed.

4th round pick. Plays solid > good > great > elite. All on a rookie deal, cheap as dirt. Great dude and locker room from start to finish, never a negative peep out of him. Massively helps us win 2 SBs. He should be universally praised in KC on his way out. And now there's a very decent chance the Chiefs are saying goodbye at just the right time, rather than a year too late.

Only thing that would've topped it off better is more draft comp, but that's covered by the last point above. No one wanted to give more for a reason.

Well deserved good luck to him

Would have rather seen him go to Atlanta or Dallas but it is what it is. Go treat yourself to something nice.

And on top of it all, we didn't stop drafting CBs and have guys ready to step right in without much dropoff. This is how you maintain a dynasty.

Not what I meant. The meaning is above your head. Don't worry about it.

Would rather have Jones

Imagine if the poor guys gets hurt early in the season and they have to eat all that money.

I was really glad when the league set up that rookie scale to keep from paying a billion dollars to a Jamarcus Russell. But I almost feel like it's gone too far the other way. Sneed has been a great player and his career is probably almost halfway over, and he's made peanuts, relatively speaking.

Thank You L'Jarius! Appreciate all your contributions.

Happy for you that you got your bag of $.

Now, GTFO!

Yep, congrats LJ. I was a little worried when the Colts were rumored to be in the running. Could you imagine Sneed shutting down 1 of our receivers in the playoffs? (If they make it) Would be far from ideal, but the Tits not so much.
