I don't disagree with you but they had decided Sneed wasn't coming back a long time ago.

^this^ This trade tells me they were never keeping Sneed if they didn't get a 3rd next year in any trade, they would have rescinded the tag and let him walk. I don't think there is any free agent that's been signed that we "missed out on" because of this trade. So bottom line, they were never going to pay Sneed $19.8m this year. They tagged him and with this trade gives them a for sure 3rd next year and not at the bottom of the round. Titans also have the 1st, 7th and 22nd pick in the 7th round, and the Chiefs have 32. It will be interesting to see which 7th we get.
Again... Chiefs feel good about their DB room and were never going to spend $19.8m on Sneed. This therefore make sense and the compensation makes sense. It's less than I would have liked, but it a whole lot better than "maybe a comp pick". We have $19.8m extra in cap space to make this team better. I loved Sneed, but unfortunately this is how Dynasties have to operate and keep the best 22 on the field, not just the best CB.
