A team like the Lions would...and absolutely should trade for a player like Sneed. They need defensive help, have the cap space and are a playoff team. [Reply]

Because that person might be Trent McDuffie. [Reply]

If you want to trade him you're drafting a CB really high because having 2 CB's they trust out there is a big reason the defense works.
You don't think he trusts Josh Williams? Here's what he did against the Bengals k in the playoffs when Sneed got concussed on the 2nd play of the game:
Chiefs rookie Joshua Williams in the AFC Championship Game:
I think they trust Williams, Watson I dunno though and if you do that both of them are on the field in Nickel downs which is going to weaken the coverage.
I think they very smartly and strategically mix Williams and Watson based on matchups and coverages, if you lose that one or both could get exposed to a degree. [Reply]
#Chiefs GM Brett Veach spoke a bit about how his staff has scenario sheets they draw up for free agency. If they're unable to re-sign one of Chris Jones, L'Jarius Sneed, or both, they've got contingencies in place that they start to go through. That includes trades & the draft.
