    So help me out a bit here.......why didn't Chiefs want to keep hold of Sneed long term considering initially, his contract with the Titans looks not much different from what he would have got for the year on tag with them.....they said they were happy to keep him for the year on tag then basically traded him for not a lot.....I get they are tight against the cap but if they hadn't made a trade they would have had to have dealt with that anyway.

    They have to play like 4 key players next year. It helps they have McDuffie who was an all pro CB last year too

    In a new BR article tonight Dianna Russini is reporting that the Chiefs were originally asking for a 2nd pick for Sneed.  They really want to move Sneed.  She now thinks multiple picks will get it done.  She mentioned picks 46, 82, and 117 would get the deal done with the Colts.  Does she know something?  The hangup is the contract for Sneed.  He definitely doesn’t want to play on the tag.  It sounds like he has moved off his position of wanting to be the highest paid corner.  So now it’s a matter of agreeing on the contract.  She now thinks the Colts are the front runner to land Sneed.  Another team could jump in but his market has cooled somewhat throughout the league but the Colts seem the most likely in her mind.  Albert Breer was also mentioned in the article.  He thinks Sneed will be traded before the draft.

    The front runner was always the Titans. Chiefs insider stated the Titans and Chiefs had an agreement that fell through, then Destin ran with that story of the colts and chiefs were nearing a trade

    Some seem obsessed with having to win a Super Bowl with Richardson on his rookie deal to the point I kinda think some think there is no chance to win one after that because of his contract.
     

    Well look at the last three QBs to win Super Bowls, Mahomes, Stafford, and Brady.  None were on a rookie deal.  There is life after a rookie deal for a QB and a chance to still win Super Bowls.  
     

    Now I will agree your best chance to acquire talent is when a QB is on his rookie deal and I’ll agree you have more room for error with acquiring players while they are on a rookie deal.  However, if you know what you are doing you can still do those things after a QB is past his rookie deal.

     

    The key for Ballard is he has to produce something to get to that point.  If this team isn’t getting to the playoffs and winning the division by the end of Richardson’s rookie deal he isn’t going to be here for a second contract with Richardson, if he earns one, which is still an if.

     

    My point is though the Colts don’t have to go all in at the expense of their future over the next few years like some seem to want.  They need to grow the roster which is what I think Ballard is trying to do.  He’s trying to put younger players, especially on offense, to grow with Richardson.  
     

    I’ll admit I don’t totally agree with the plan on defense but I’ll also acknowledge it’s not a final product yet.  I’ll also acknowledge that the Colts seem to like their roster on defense more than some fans do.  Last thing I also don’t think the biggest issue with the Colts defense is the players I think it’s the DC and as long as Bradley is here I think their overall success on defense will be limited regardless of who they put out there.  
     

     

    Mahomes first superbowl was on his rookie deal

    Absolutely no proof the D would have been better even though you spent 20M more which we currently don't have considering paying the draft choices. I prefer that we signed our own who are very good players and still have some bucks left to sign possible a CB and FS that is still left in FA.

    Really surprised you continue to be a Colt fan. Seems the only player you express as liking is AR.  

    Defense was ranked those the bottom last season even with us playing against 10 rookies and backup QBs

    If we aren’t resigning Blackmon, I see no way we don’t sign Simmons or Diggs. We were weak there last year. Blackmon was the only bright spot. 
     

    Not sure if Gilmore would be interested in returning, BUT that could make sense if he wants to mentor the young guys. Curious on how he graded out last year 

    Gilmore got roasted in the playoffs plus he wants to go to a contender which we aren’t

    Do you ever stop and think this was almost done and sneed had a change of heart.  He never said that about jeudy or Parker.

    You think all the elite to mid level analysts are missing on info that some blogger named Dustin and his mysterious Twitter source ( who has deleted his account) are finding out before they do?

    Actually Diana’s info was 100% exactly what Destin said. He had been vindicated. She said she almost fired off a tweet saying it was done and had been traded.

    It’s been 5 days since he said they are ironing out the details and the trade is done. We still waiting on a physical from Friday correct?

    They would still do it once it’s completed.  I don’t think the Chiefs would stick it to Ballard.  I think Ballard would trust them.  

    You do physicals for the team that wants you not your old team. That’s how trades get bounced if x player fails physical for new team. Same rules apply to NBA. Caris LeVert failed a physical with the Pacers due to a tumor but the trade went thru because the Pacers accepted an additional draft pick
