I see the logic here if this is legit. The front 7 is getting gutted in the offseason no matter what, so you may as well keep the secondary as strong as possible. These guys have incredible chemistry together and all seem to be playing their roles perfectly, you might as well try to keep that unit in tact.

As far as Sneed not wanting to sign before hitting free agency, not every player thinks like that. He was given an opportunity here that he may not have gotten elsewhere and seems to love being a Chief. He's a very humble guy and might not care about getting an extra $1-2 million a year over staying somewhere he's happy. Fowler is usually a pretty good source so there must be something to this. I'd love to see it.

I trust whatever Veach and Spags do with the secondary. They get it right more often than not.

No chance you get him for 15-18. If he were gonna sign for that here, that deal woulda been done a while ago

If they give him a contract close to Diggs I bet he's take that in a heartbeat. Also keep in mind that next year is most likely Thuney's last year. Lot of money coming off the books there.

Chris Jones is turning 30 and won't get better at this point. If you're not paying him insane money its fine to pay a decent one to Sneed IMO

Not 8 games before they can hit FA.

It would be malpractice to let him sign a deal now, this close to the end.

Before the season? Sure.

He's never been a pro bowler or all pro selection. Be real here man.

Haven't we all agreed that the Pro Bowl and All Pro is a popularity contest?

Sneed is a beast and because he doesn't have an ego... he flies under the radar. He is massively under-rated.

The secondary is a revolving door at KC. Unless he's cheap, he's not going to be here.

That's fine. Keep that amazing depth going instead of dumping a lot into one guy.

Diggs is making 20 million a year. He also signed before any games were played this season.

I'm all for keeping Sneed if you could get him at a nice number. But he's not signing during the season, as the article here states.

Money coming off the books is great, but it's gonna go right back on when they sign Creed for 15/16 a year.

TribalElder 11-16-2023 11:57 AM

His cap hit doesn't get to $20 million until 2027. His contract runs through 2028 but they could get out of that contract as early as 2025 and save a ton of money with a post June 1st cut.

That 6 year combined deal is essentially a 3 year deal with a year-by-year play as you go the last 3 years.

Another position we draft/replace constantly.

Creed is awesome, but it wouldn't shock me if he walked.

Yep, I absolutely love Creed, but paying 15 million for a center? I just cannot see it.

Because they had an extra year, by signing him to an extension. We wouldn't have that luxury, so you wouldn't have those extra wonky years to squirrel money into.

For sure, but man, he's just been so much better than the others they've had.

I'd love to keep him. They'll need to replace the guards, but if you could get a legit LT or keep Smith and have the T's and C locked down, you could skimp on the G's a bit.

Hoover 11-16-2023 12:31 PM

I’d tell him to sign or we will just tag his ass.
