In no world is Carlton Davis more valuable than Sneed.
So even presuming I agree with everything else you said, Veach absolutely did not maximize his return here. If he had, there's no way he gets less for Sneed than Detroit gave up for Veach.
It was bad work by Brett. It happens but it's absolutely the case.

Carlton Davis contract is nothing like Sneed's? You move Sneed on a one year deal restructured for $9.5m the Lions would have probably given us a 2nd, but Sneed wasn't going to be traded for that compensation. I know you hate it, but the market is the market and we got better comp then letting him walk. The only way you can think this was worse is if you actually thought we were going to pay him the tag. If we don't get this trade done, the Chiefs probably rescind the tag, and prepare as needed instead of uncertainty like last year.
