This is the Christian way? This is the way from people who think the Earth is like 37yrs old?

What a bitch, immature response.

The compensation was for an okay corner, not a shutdown corner. I just want them to get what they paid for. The only reason that the Chiefs got such shit compensation was because of his knees. Fine. Then I want them to get a player with knee problems, not a shutdown corner.

If that's the case and I think it is the right decision was made. But man we do miss him.

Salary cap era.

We don't miss Sneed LMAO

We just took out the trash, twice.

I'm still sticking to my guns that it was a shit trade. ROASTED by some turd named IYoshii??? Seriously?

Sneed did get beat twice by Shitkur in the postseason which was bad enough but he's not as bad as the Cincy clown

Going for a 3 peat you pay him every damn time. They made some silly deals after they dealt him anyway for that amount

If you really want to get picky, on the play in the Super Bowl where Chris Jones hurried Purdy into a throwaway pass intended for Jennings, Sneed has fallen down at the line and Brandon Aiyuk was all by himself in the middle of the end zone. If Jones hadn't blown through the line, Purdy would have hit him for his easiest TD pass of his life.

At least your signature isn't the stupidest part your post for once.

If course it isn't. My signature is pure fact. The stupidity is that people actually believe that life came from nonlife and that complex life, DNA, and DNA actually just spawned from a big bang. ROFL. It's amazing that people actually believe that crap despite the fact that it goes against the laws or real science.

Eh I'm out. This is like picking a fight with a guy and he immediately cuts his own dick off. Where do I go from here?

Wow...CP is extra chippy this AM. I feel bad for Sneed. You know by this point he's realized he's just playing for the contract now. They have no chance in Hell of doing anything this season.

He and Tyreek can start a support group.

Actually, we really don't miss him all that much. The CB play has been ok. The reason why the Chiefs are 31 against the pass is because Safeties, and especially the Linebackers cannot cover Tght Ends. The guy that we miss more than Sneed, is Willie Gay. And I really don't know why we didn't sign him, because it didn't take much to keep him.

We had three major concerns coming into the season. And no particular order they were LT, CB2, LB's in coverage. And out of the 3, CB is the least glairing through week 2.

It's still early yet, so hopefully they'll figure things out.

Sneed was a fool if he thought he was going to a winner

First time HC on a depleted team?

LOL

I don't really understand why people can't wrap their heads around the trade.

The Chiefs clearly were suspicious of the knee and his ability to hold up over the long term.

The Titans weren't going to give up a high pick AND have to pay Sneed big money on a long term deal.

It just is what it is. Good player, with questionable future health prognosis.

It's been 'backers more than anything, in my opinion. Tranquil and Bolton have been not so good.

Bolton is the shocker so far. He's looked absolutely lost out there on a few plays.

Funny

You're right. And if you further dissect it, they knew that Bolton was a liability and coverage, but could not have imagined that he would be as bad as he's been. Also, they had hoped, and rightfully so, that Tranquil would be better than he is. Instead, they got TWO net zeros in coverage.

So you don't buy that abiogenesis is a real thing?

I think we do miss him. Sneed could line up against TE's as well. As for Gay he's kind of a head case. I also heard a rumor he wasn't liked that well in the locker room.

When it comes to compensation someone is only worth what the “buyer” is willing to pay. To think that the offer from Tennessee was not the best available is silly. We might have wanted a first for him, but no other team was willing to pay that. I don’t want the Titans to get a shutdown corner, but I also don’t want Sneed to struggle due to his knees. I like Sneed and want him to succeed.

My guess is Sneed knows he has limited years in the NFL and to make his money while he can.

Nothing personal Chiefs but business is business.

I didn't hear that, but I did hear Gay wasn't too smart.

Yes, agree that Sneed could cover the TE, but so can the current CB's on the team. Go look at the splits and see where and who the opposing TE's are burning. It isn't the CB's.

I am just saying that Sneed was worth more to the Chiefs than a 3rd round pick. I'm angry that we didn't just keep him rather than give him away for shit compensation.

He was worth more to KC, I do agree. Simply put KC can only keep so many players. Now we can discuss who they kept vs who they lost, but if there was any position on this roster I feel the most confident they can develop it’s CB. If not they probably keep him.

You don't trade a damn All Pro for a 3rd rounder and then spend that a good chunk on mediocre guys like Gray when you have a 3 peat chance

They spent the money on Chris Jones. Gray is making pennies ROFL

If we had Sneed, we might have beat the Ravens and Bengals.

Some IYoshii turd sure doesn't go off for 2 cheap scores

Genesis is a real thing. Abiogenesis is a contradiction to science that is just floated around to explain away Genesis. No. Abiogenesis is not a real thing

So when they traded Sneed they were already planning to extend Gray? Pretty sure one situation did not impact the other one.

We had the money to keep him with the same team we have now. This isn't arguable

I’d guess it’s more about his knee being a ticking time bomb

They’re gonna pay McDuffie a filthy amount of money next Spring so of course they didn’t pay Sneed

Could've easily staggered the cap hits to keep them both. But no, let's keep bloviating about how a 3rd rounder will be so useful or how he has a catastrophic knee injury (that he still hasn't missed a snap of game time from)

Exactly

I'm glad Veach is running our team and not you guys.

About $180 million of the cap is going to 6 players next year (Mahomes, Chris, Thuney, Jawaan, Kelce and Creed).

Sure Clark can do a Mahomes restructure but that’s only like $20 million max.

How are you fitting another $15 ish million for Sneed?

Exactly.

Don't pay replacement level talent like Danna and Gray 8 million and 6 million respectively?

they had to choose between Chris Jones and Sneed and made the right choice. Also gave Kelce a (well deserved) raise as well as paying Creed. This while they are trying to make Trey work (not likely).

McDuffie is gonna be the highest paid corner in the league next Spring and Clark will happily sign that deal every time bc he’s ****ing worth it.

They weren’t paying top money for a corner in back-to-back years.

This isn’t Madden. Good grief

Maybe they didn't want to lock up that kind of money in a player that they think will be spending most of the time on the DL in the very near future.

It's that, but not only that-it's locking up big money in a player that may well not be physically able for much longer. Then you have an Eric Berry situation. Seems to me, that's a big part of the equation for KC.

I’m sure the money makes it easier. But damn what a tough pill to swallow going from the champs to the chumps.

LMAO Pointed out exactly where they could've gotten the money from and the goalposts shift to 'nyeh, well, can't pay 2 CBs like that'.

The **** you can't. You stagger the cap hits so by the time McDuffie is eating significant cap hits Sneed is gone. You have the last two years of his rookie cap hits, the 5th year option, and some book cooking on the first year of his extension. Easily doable to keep two elite CBs that by extension made this defense one of the best in the league.

Seriously, where the **** did this phantom knee injury bullshit come from? I know the narrative was invented to make folks feel better about the shitty compensation we got back from the trade, but it isn't actually based on anything but speculation.

Its not that easy. Its not finding 15M this year, its finding 76M with a 20M SB over the next four.

Sneed is making $24 million next yet. Danna and Gray 2025 cap hits combined are making like half of that LMAO

We let Ward go in FA and didn’t skip a beat.

Veach has been phenomenal at selecting the pieces of this roster while managing the cap and draft.

To criticize singular moves as if they happen in a vacuum is silly. Veach has access to the specific training and medical staff that has all the info they needed to make a decision about trading Sneed versus re-signing him and so far we are 2-0 against a couple elite teams on our way to a history making third championship in a row, while missing a few big pieces (Omenihu, Hollywood, now Pacheco etc)…

Dude barely practiced the last year here. Phantom knee injury? GTFO with that.

And YOUR speculation is that Brett Veach is stupid.

And he still plays almost literally all the time. Consistently amongst the defenders that get the most snaps, both here and now in Tennessee.

Yeah, Bret Veach is stupid.

OR

Do you think KC had serious concerns that the knee was going to hold up long term?

It seems clear that KC didn't think Sneed was a good investment long term.

Why do you think that is?

Taylor restructure would have done it.

Thinking Brett Veach made a mistake =\= thinking he's stupid. No GM is perfect, and it's perfectly valid to disagree with decisions made.

It may turn out to be a mistake, but we don't know that now.

You've been pissed about the return since the trade happened, and that's just not an opinion based in reality. Big contract+draft picks+injury concerns= 3rd rounder. That's just reality.

In KC, you know that he coaches loved him, whole team loved him. Knee was a problem.

Seems to me, Veach wasn't willing to bet $20m per that it was going to hold up long-term.

We'll see how it goes, but I don't fault the thought process.

In the Mahomes era KC had one CB drafted in the first round on the roster…..one. That CB was McDuffie. Somehow they have gone to four SBs while winning three. It would have been nice to keep Sneed, but what he was worth it just wasn’t practical. KC at least salvaged a 3rd round pick for him which they can use to restock a position of need this offseason vs seeing him walk.

First - Ward is NOWHERE NEAR the player that Sneed is.

Second - You can't keep everyone. Sneed and his knees had to play a part in that decision.

yeah, I really believe it wasn't so much about being able to afford Sneed so much as it was a calculation as to whether we'd be paying a guy who couldn't play that kind of money. Can we afford to have $20m residing in the training room? What are the odds that is how it goes down?

I think that was the calculus.

Yup...great move

Chiefs never gave up an opening drive TD when Sneed was here!

Shhhhh. He likes to think he’s always right while gloating and patting himself on the back. Just let him live in his world.

There’s really just little point in arguing over it at this point.

We haven’t even made the pick that we got in the trade yet!

This team is going to lose good players every year. It is what it is.

He still would have burned Sneed's lame ass.

3-0.

Titans probably have the same record because of Sneed.

What are we even arguing about?

Did Sneed look good today or something?

The Titans are ass.

Titans offense, and Levis in particular, are not good at all.

Yall will find anything to complain about

I know that. But are we bickering about the trade because he either played well or didn't play well?

THE CHUEFS WON BECAUSE SNEED WAS GOOD BUT WILL LEVIS IS NOT WHAT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND
?!

Well, if the Titans continue to suck that 3rd rounder will be a high third rounder.

We're bickering about the trade because of the blown coverage TD on the first drive. I think?

The whole "we never should've let Sneed go! He would never have allowed that to happen!"

Idk, it's not uncommon for CPers to wait for something bad to happen to the Chiefs and use it as evidence that "we should've kept this guy/signed this guy/shouldn't have drafted this guy/etc etc" to make themselves look smarter. Kind of a tried and true tactic at this point.

Why would you bring this into the conversation?

We let Ward go and stayed at a #12 defense or whatever.

Staying at a top 3 defense is a lot harder. Our safeties are getting exposed now because we only have one lockdown corner.

I'm not saying it made financial sense to keep Sneed. But we definitely miss him.

I think the safety issue is mostly Justin Reid was injured and didn't practice or play in TC\pre season. Once he gets his legs back and stays healthy I think we will be ok. Also need to get Hicks more playing time.

Chamarri Conner has been awesome though

We gave up 17pts last night. The defense is fine.
