Our bad ass GM made a decision. This not 10 years ago with only hope's and dreams so get over it.

Veach clearly didn't want to have that money handcuffed for that long.

Correct. Money needs to come off the books.

The Chiefs didn’t have the money my man. They chose Jones and that’s it. Yes, the comp sucks, but when a team is essentially forced to trade a player because they can’t afford the tag this is what happens. It’s business and both sides knew it. We’ll be okay and you can expect Veach to draft 1-2 more corners in the upcoming draft.

So Rasul Douglas, Carlton Davis and L’Jarius Sneed all got a 3rd rd pick in a trade. That seems to be the market for a good (not great on paper) corner. 2 were 27 and one was 28 when traded.
Like it or not that was the market

Behind the scenes it allows our parents to use the money saved on expensive presents to purchase something our family needs to function. In reality, how many decent-good corners has this team went through? Chiefs will be just fine. |

I think we should all be happy that a fourth round pick played like a top cornerback the last couple of years and netted us a 3rd round pick on his exit.

Yup, that’s right. Veach always knew that Sneed was replaceable. Jones? No way. We got what we could get.

Nah, if Veech wanted someone else in FA, it could have happened. You are also assuming there was a better deal out there earlier. I don't think there probably was or it would be done.

I understand being disappointed. I understand that based on reports, we were expecting more.
I understand that for a lot of us, just keeping Sneed and paying him the tag seemed like the thing to do. Some of you are under the impression that you get a 3rd when he walks, but that is not the case. You MIGHT, depending on whether you sign other comparable players. It's a net gain/loss formula. No guarantees. It's clear that KC had decided they were going to try to sign Jones and let Sneed go. It was only ever going to be one big deal this off-season. I expect if they'd been unable to get Jones signed, they'd have pivoted to Sneed. They weren't going to pay both. I'm sure Veach was hoping for a better return, too. The bottom line is-this is the market that developed. If KC wasn't going to pay him, the only other choice was to take the best offer. It sucks, but this was it. It's disappointing, but it is what it is. It doesn't mean anyone made some huge blunder. Nobody wanted to give up a high pick AND pay Sneed the huge contract. |

The Lions were the best shot. In order to justify trading a high pick and take on top of market salary you need a team going all in that's willing to sacrifice some future to get one of the final missing pieces to make their push.

Corners are going for 3rd rd value unless they are stars that are 25 and under. The market seems pretty clear

Plus I’ll take a high to mid 3rd over a mythical comp pick. It’s a better deal. |
