a typical conversation might go like this. Snead says, we really need this player, and his agent says he will want 12 mil per year.
In your scenario, I doubt Snead is ever the one who brings up the amounts or reports what an agent says. That's on the money guys, who are the ones who interact with the agents. You're painting him (a bit) as a kind of overlord GM and he's just not that. Naturally both the head coach and Snead help clarify what a player means to a team, and naturally the money guys keep the coach and GM informed, but, Snead has enough to do running both pro and college personnel 24/7, 12 months a year. The Rams have a long tradition going back to Shaw of keeping the money guys separate. For example, neither Demoff nor Pastoors report to Snead. Pastoors reports to Demoff who reports to Kroenke.
