Trade: Chiefs are finalizing a deal to send franchise CB L’Jarius Snead to the Titans, per league sources.

Chiefs are expected to receive a 2025 3rd-round pick, in addition to a 2024 7th-round pick flop, while Snead will sign a new contract. Trade is pending physical for Sneed. pic.twitter.com/GWjyKAgxZq

I am legit starting to wonder what it is we're doing different here with schemes and coaching because Sneed was a beast last year, but we look to be BETTER this year on defense. Wild.

I mean, a future (2025) third is the best offer we got. Clearly, other GMs weren't enamored with paying him, either.

It's hard to play at that same level when your team is going nowhere and you've just been paid a large contract.

That and 20 million to spend elsewhere.

Glad we used it on Jones who actually looks more motivated after getting paid.

The system is a big deal for any player. We watched the Patriots turn coal into diamonds for years. More times then not those players would go else where, get paid, and come back down to earth. (Trey Flowers off the top of my head.)

Sneed is who he was. However he doesn't have Chris Jones and George to rush QB's anymore. He doesn't have Spags to put him in a position to make plays in the backfield. On top of that they don't love him in TEN like they loved him in KC.

Sneed said himself he was mad at the initial trade news, even said he wanted to stay. Now he's over there and he has to be nails only to watch Levis flounder for his efforts. Players are people too and football is an emotional game.

Like Tyreek, he got paid but it's not the same. (Althougg Tyreek did light the world on fire and no longer has a QB. That matters but you get the point.)

I make great bank....not NFL bank but I can retire today if I want. And I just wonder why these guys need deca million dollar paydays.

Hill will get into the hall but I will say this - if I had played in the NFL I would have taken a LOT LESS just to win championship after championship year after year. That highlight where Sneed knocks the ball out of flowers hands at the goalline - he won't get those anymore.

Where Jones, Kelce, Pat, etc will all have these long historical highlights that extend way past their playing years.

That might be Sneed's only big contract in his career, I get trying to maximize earnings, especially when championships are never guaranteed.

He's actually been very good for them. Getting beat a few times happens. But overall he's faced some good wideouts and locked them up. Difference is everyone else in that secondary isn't up to his standard.

The titans obviously overvalued Mayo boy.

Sneed got absolutely roasted yesterday. Gave up a touchdown and a 34 yard pass interference penalty.

The Titans other cornerback Brownlee, a guy I’ve never heard of, was WAY better than Sneed yesterday.

You’re conveniently ignoring the fact that we beat Ford and the 9ers in that Super Bowl, ending a 50-year drought.

That makes the high pick more palatable.

I'm not ignoring that at all. I'm just saying that I would have rather seen Ford on a bad team, missing the playoffs altogether, and the Chiefs getting a higher draft pick than to see him go to the Superbowl and lower the value of our pick. Having him on the losing team helped. But I still would have rather seen him sitting on the couch and the Chiefs with a higher pick. I can't really complain about the Willie Gay pick though.

Well, most NFL players aren't Jones, Kelce, or Pat.

Meaning most NFL players won't be able to build and live off that kind of legacy. All they know is this is the one chance they have to set up their family with generational wealth. Thats the more attainable and realistic goal.

Theres also the ones with the ego that demand they be paid what they believe theyre worth. Their contract tells the rest of the world how good they are, etc etc.

I’m not sure he had a choice, based on his post trade interview.

He CLEARLY wanted to stay in KC.

Holy Crap, are we really bitching about the Ford trade, because that was a horrible deal for the 49ers. Dude played a total of 18 games them over three years before he was out of the league.. Which cost them 40M

LOL

I bet he did. He could have taken significantly less to stay and Bert would have gone with that. It might not have been the best choice for him, but I imagine he could have done it.
