Yeah, I agree with you there. I guess the CB market has lost trade value then. Sneed is a better player than Marcus Peters but we got a second for him.

It's disappointing any way you slice. Veach said they were happy to keep him but this is a cap dump move.

He does have a bad knee, but teams overlook things all the time.

You have to define what “all in” means.

It doesn’t plundering your team into salary cap hell. That’s full reerun, see Chargers, Saints, ect

He does.

A team physical is just confirming what they know is an issue for the player and to make sure nothing is unknown. They already knew about the knee and concussion issues.

Nobody that has been in the league 4-5 years has a physical with no issues, it’s risk management for team prior to signing the deal.

Contract details are available:

2024 cap hit is only $9.96M
2025 cap hit is $24M

TN has an out in 2026, where they can pay Sneed a $21M cap hit or cut and have $12M dead money.

I can understand to some extent his frustration… leaving a dynasty in KC for a rebuild in Tennessee.

But either he accepts less than his market value to stay in KC… or he decides to get paid.

He would come back in a heartbeat if the opportunity presented itself.

Chiefs didn't want to insult J Sneed by lowballing him and offering a below market deal. It sucks we had to let him go, glad he understands it's business.


That's what makes Veach so good is he makes the tough decisions to let people go and work the draft and gets value with his picks.

These guys can't let themselves be honest about this.

"I wanted to maximize my earnings and I had to go elsewhere to do that".

I mean, sometimes that’s the case. But in other cases, the player doesn’t have a choice. The team decides to offer a contract to the player or not and a few guys that have left mentioned KC never offered them a deal.

Even Clark Hunt mentioned this while CJ95 was in limbo…that they were still deciding to offer him a contract or not.

We’re never gonna pay h in even with a discount. McDuffie is an all pro corner and they have been good with developing that position.

They also need the money for Creed, Butker, Trey and Bolton who they are trying to get signed.

This mother****er is aware of the NFL salary cap, right? He's acting like KC spit in his face.

The Chiefs new the price. If he wanted less than the price, he coulda came back. Or maybe they didn't wanna mess with teh knee.

O. City-how would you rate his grill? Was all that work done after he got his big shiny new contract?

I read that exact article yesterday, you can really tell he hated leaving the culture we have here where the vibes are always elevated and cool... but you priced us out Sneed, we couldn't afford you

Now, just like Reek... you will get your money, but will sorely miss the constant winning and winners atmosphere full of comradery

You're rich now, enjoy your 9-7 season
