Boy it looks like the Chiefs really don't like their CB room

[Mecca]

On top of claiming Eric Scott

They also placed claims on Shemar Bartholomew and Sam Womack III. Even though they were only awarded 1 because of other teams placing 3 claims on corners is telling.

I think Veach is going to use most of the cap space trading for a veteran corner in season.

They don't like the dudes at the bottom. And to be honest, I didn't see anything all that great out of the double last name dude. And Nic Jones at times looked like the second coming of Bartee with his inability to turn his goddamn head. But the rest of them?

If they stay healthy, there's a zero percent chance this Scott guy gets more snaps than Watson, Williams, and Johnson.

Oh, and McDuffie, but that was obvious.

Watson and Williams are fine, IMO.

But reading between the lines sounds like Spags is begging Veach for more.

At this point we have a stud in McDuffie and then a bunch of guys. Hopefully, one of them will step up; preferably Joshua Williams because of this length and speed. We will definitely miss Sneed.

[Bump]

Watson and Williams always seemed pretty good and people have been saying that Nazeeh Johnson is the next Deion Sanders or something.

[Sassy Squatch]

Not surprising. Nazeeh Johnson isn't going to hold up at the NFL level and Kelvin Joseph was a waste of time. Pretty sure they had high hopes for both players and unfortunately they're complete non factors.

We needed to pay Creed Humphrey 19m a year so we couldn't pay Sneed 16M a year. This was very important.

[WilliamTheIrish]

This could be the inspiration for a season long thread...

Yeah. Unless his knee really is on the verge of imploding I don't agree with that decision at all. Sneed was key to making this defense elite.

I think the Chiefs are just really, really good at scouting CBs, and this extends to pro scouting as well as who we draft. The guys we have may be fine, but if there are upgrades being made available out there, why not?

The Chiefs don't pay guys who are at risk of aging out of the league too quickly.

Maybe if Sneed had already received his mega millions before this, the Chiefs would have felt better about offering him a 1-2 year deal, but they clearly didn't feel comfortable going 3, 4, or even 5 years.

[TEX]

They're going to miss Sneed. That's a given. But they may miss him a lot more than they had anticipated, because none of the other Corners stepped up. CB2 could be a problem. But it looks like they know it's a possibility, and are signing as much talent as they can.

[TribalElder]

Sneed was a MF boss

[RealSNR]

Here's an inaccurate thought experiment because I know this isn't how the league works, but just go with it.

Let's say you can only pick one:

-Pay Sneed a big contract now on the eve of our 3-peat
-Pay McDuffie in a couple seasons when it's his turn

I'd rather pay McDuffie. I think he'll be that much better than Sneed, if he's not already.
