I agree. I don’t think it can be overstated what it means to have 2 lockdown corners versus just 1. I love what McDuffie brings but he’s not going to be the same guy that Sneed was in some coverage capacity (but can be better in other aspects). That’s going to hurt the pass rush and dilute everything the defense does.
Sneed wasn’t as perfect as the “no touchdowns allowed to a WR all year until Shakir in the playoffs” vibe, but he was really transformative and allowed everyone else to thrive.
I’m fine letting him go. Limited resources and it made sense.
