This is an L. And a fairly bad one at that.
He overplayed his hand and then blinked.

I couldn't disagree more. Veech had no leverage unless he was willing to play Sneed on the tag and that only works if they rework a bunch of other guys to get more cap room to address other needs.
It would have set off a domino effect.
Sneeds contract demands also clearly played a roll in all of this.
I mean yea it sucks we didn't get more but the writing on the wall has been that is going to be a 3rd rounder for a long while now. It sucks but really there weren't many other options unless you want to scrap other plans to play the guy on the tag which they clearly didn't want to do.
So we drafted him in the 4th, got 4 great years out of him and traded him for a 3rd and $20MM in cap space.
And Ten is going to be dogshit next year so that 3rd may be fairly high.
