I know this

I know that all reports were that the Rams were not willing to pay either of those guys what they ended up getting. Both signed for more money than the Rams were willing to commit to them. Meanwhile, they tendered Keenum at the 1st round tag, franchise tagged Tru, signed Tim Barnes to a two year extension, signed Coty Sensabaugh to a 3 year, $15MM deal and cut him 4 games into the season and gave Austin a huge extension.

In other words, they spent plenty of money, just not in the direction of McLeod and Jenkins. But Fisher is clearly asserting that they both were allowed to get away without his blessing. So, either he's lying or Snead defied Fisher's priorities choosing instead to allocate the resources elsewhere and not only kept his job but was effectively rewarded for it by being handed the keys to the biggest trade in NFL draft history.
