The Chiefs choose to pay Chris Jones and NOT overpay for sneed. I liked Sneed, but in today's NFL/rules, shut down corner is really not a thing.

Not a thing? Did you watch this season?
I don’t know how you’re defining “shut down corner,” but Sneed was every bit the definition of it.
We don’t need to create these fantasy narratives to justify the trade. It’s not a good one at all, but that doesn’t mean they can’t retool in other areas and be every bit as effective. I would’ve preferred keeping him on the tag and dipping in via other restructures, but that has its own set of dominos and we don’t know what’s gone on behind closed doors with Sneed and his medicals.
It is what it is. Time to move on.
