Just read this.
Really nice write up. McDuffie is gonna be really good. I think he also makes Sneed a bit redundant. |

I like Sneed's versatility with how much Spags likes to use him to rush the passer, but I'm right there with you in terms of he gives us the option to move on from Sneed if we can't get numbers to work out, though I greatly enjoy having both in our secondary.

I can see a scenario where they move on from Sneed and utilize a few players in the Sneed blitzing role (Conner, Nazeeh, even Tranqill and Chenal)... maybe the DL is improved enough that reliance on the DB blitz is diminished quite a bit. If Nic Jones is the real deal, I'd say he's definitely going to be a FA. He's definitely versatile and I love his physicality, but his pure cover skills are averageish?

That being said, I personally don't think we'll resign him unless the rest of the league sees him in a worse light than we do for some reason. And in terms of Nic Jones, it's just crazy how great Veach is at drafting late in the draft, especially in the secondary. We will see. |

I would be extremely surprised given the draft capital investment (McD, Williams, Watson, Naz Johnson, Connor?, Nic Jones) if Sneed receives a 2nd contract here.

This team absolutely loves Sneed, but after the Chris Jones extension gets done, they may only have like $20m to play with next offseason, and $8m or so goes to the draft class. McDuffie can play the Sneed role. They've been trying out Nic Jones in the slot at camp as well, reportedly. I think they're preparing for it. |

When we look back on history years from now, it will be Mahomes that gets all the glory, but Brett Veach changed this franchise and this article proves it from Clark Hunt’s quotes.
He was the one that was aggressive. He was the one that changed the mindset that was rotting this franchise for decades. Thank God this happened. We wanted this for years and years and we are now seeing the dividends of that excellent management.

So I think it's pretty apparent that Elam would've been a Chief had things gone a little differently (and likely McDuffie a Bill).
Interesting read.

Just a note that The Athletic just laid off a bunch of their writers and are consolidating some beats into regional coverage. I doubt Nate is in any danger soon given the Chiefs success, but consider giving them a click or even subscribing if you like his stuff.

Something that doesn't get much attention in the Bengals crying about losing to the Chiefs is that Sneed also went out 4 plays into the game. That fact kind of gets lost in the shuffle with Mahomes being hobbled and our WR's being down to MVS, Moore, and Kemp.
