When the Rams were trading Ramsey, they were forced to accept market value because the alternative of having him on their roster that year yielded little benefit. That’s not remotely the case in our situation. Hence, not comparable.

Sneed was not ever part of their long term plans, I don't know how anyone could not understand this. So what that means is they had to accept market value and get what they could.
Fans have been fooled into this idea the only reason you tag players is to get a 1st round pick or some other large haul. In this case it was simply to get something in return because they knew Sneed wasn't going to be a Chief next year and other teams knew it too.
Playing him on the tag and letting him walk next year would have netted KC nothing of real value either.
Would you have traded a 3rd round pick and $19.8MM for 1 year of Sneed knowing what we have in the DB room already?
