Kinda sets a bad precedent to pay an outsider more than you paid any of your own guys

Not really religious, but I recall a parable about each worker being paid what they agreed upon.

I wouldn't worry too much about this point.

I think Ballard has a fairly good reputation about paying Colts players (even a few times when he didn't have to extend / restructure at the time).

And the precedent has already been set - it would be a similar situation to the trade for Buckner and immediately paying him a new big contract.

Not to mention the fact that most teams pay UFAs more than current players on their roster all of the time.

Similar situation for sure…. We could’ve stayed put and drafted Kinlaw, instead they chose the proven guy

Now it’s go all in on Sneed or draft Mitchell

Shefter just pretty much clowned Destin Adams. There never was a trade in place & the Colts & KC never even had a discussion. Snead ain’t coming to Indy & never was. The end.

That was brutal. They have not had talks what-so-ever and Sneed wants a long term deal. Holder was right.

Holder was just on JMV, said the same thing

Said they had discussions about signing Hunter and asked about Sneed at the combine and when they didn’t get Hunter they pretty much resigned all their own guys

Said he’s expecting CB to be the round 1 pick

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.
