Someone said it earlier in the thread - the Chiefs chose Chris Jones over LJ here, and it really is as simple as that, especially considering the glaring upgrades/replacements that are needed around their generational franchise QB.
As much as we all collectively loved Sneed and saw his value, and wanted the compensation to match his obvious value, this was inevitable. Especially when they obviously decided he wasn't going to play on the tag (or didn't want to play him on the tag).
I wish Sneed all the best moving forward and hope he enjoys that bag of money in a state with no tax on personal income. Get some pick sixes against Richardson, Lawrence, and Stroud. But may he shit his drawers against Rice and Brown.

Yes clearly it was a matter of choosing Stone Cold or Sneed. It's gonna be interesting to see how we move forward. I think it's a bit presumptive to assume all of Creed, Smith, Bolton, and Reed are getting extensions. We'll probably get a better idea of soon of what they're thinking and if they are gonna target a corner early. Any discussion about how good the defense is gonna look hasn't had any mentions of FAU included....
