One possibility for the Chiefs shipping a great player for mediocre compensation may be that Hunt doesn’t want to write another big check this offseason. The cap is one part of the equation but dollars are dollars. Sure, Clark has a lot of money and could obviously afford it but that doesn’t mean he wants to spend more after giving Jones and Mahomes lump sum payments. And knowing he’ll have big payments coming for Creed and Bolton next season.
This is total speculation but is it possible Hunt told Veach he wasn’t going to write checks for both Jones and Sneed and Veach only had so many 2024 dollars to spend?
Just trying to come up with a reason to explain this move. I have always thought that you get so few opportunities to hold an all-star team together you should just go for it, but all we can hope for now is that the offense returns to form and the defense stays a top 10 unit and someone else can make the plays we’ve counted on Sneed to make.
