We signed Hollywood Brown this year. If Sneed was just released and signed elsewhere, we probably don't get a comp 3 next year. Even if we did(which is unlikely), it's not a comp 3 this year. Let's start there.
I thought we'd get a 3 this year and maybe some other low pick. I think if Sneed wasn't holding up on the contract talks so long, we may have. Other teams made moves in the meantime though and that moved other teams out of the bidding. Sneed's camp was the hold up here, not Veach.
Now, I can understand people also wanting to just keep him for a year on the tag. I'd love to keep him too. He's not completely healthy though and there have been plenty of reports that he wasn't going to play on the tag and I think that's a legit possibility because this is likely his only chance at a good contract. Injury concern is real and is one reason why I was better with keeping Jones over Sneed.
So, comp noone is happy with but at least it's something tangible and allows us to make moves. We have an extra 3 next year and that gives us extra wiggle room to move up this year if we want to. It gives us extra money to work with. Veach wants to solidify LT and this gives us the ability to do that and protect the most important position if we want to 3peat, Mahomes.
I'm not happy with the move but I understand it. I think Veach did the best he could with the situation. I understand why others won't agree with that but that's also why none of us are GMs of a ****ing dynasty like Veach is.
