From the Chiefs perspective:
They believe they already drafted his replacement and he can step in and take sneed’s place while also giving team capable of getting plenty of safety help with money they save.
$55 million guaranteed is $10.5 million more than the next highest guaranteed amount for a CB in NFL history. From day one he let chiefs know he wouldn’t be giving any hometown or superbowl discounts.
He wanted as much as he could get, and for a 27-year-old player with medical question marks who has never made a Pro Bowl or All-Pro team in his career, that price was more than they were willing to spend.
Wish they could have gotten more, but better to get something instead of nothing.
If they couldn’t get deal done, dealing with Bolton, Humphrey, and Trey Smith and his contract would be too much. Just like with Jones and Sneed, Veach probably already knows who he has to get done, and who he has to tag. At least they got something, next year would be worse and walked away with nothing
