Ture. I don't think the Lions cared who the team trading Sneed was. Completely different conference. GM's are going to consider worst case as well and if Sneed blows his knee out in week 8 this year people will scream about all the money and a 2nd round pick paid for him.
That's too much cost in a guy with some risk. Not a ton, I think the knee is overblown, but there is some. I'm also not going to pretend like I understand all the nuances of the Lion's coverage schemes other than them being ass. How good a fit? What are their plans in round 1 or 2 of the draft at the position?
A lot of moving parts and when Sneed put his $22 mil request out there and everyone other than the Titans stepped away from the table that was it. There was no bidding war. There was no leverage...
