It may not be but season ticket holders bitching about him is not going to make Clark Hunt want him around when he's already expressing views completely opposite of what he wants to portray.

Give it 3 years and see what happens.

This prove it.

So according to Matt Derrick:
2nd
3rd
3rd
4th
4th
6th
7th

So what happens if there's never another word about him being a problem? What do we suffice then?

Could be both. Though if strictly political, you would think they would have waited to see if his value would go up. It looks like they did not want him back in the building for OTA's.

Wypipo with broad shoulders, taking the blame for all of the world's ills, regardless of merit.

Tired shit.

Just another in a long list of examples revealing why Reid will never win anything.

Absent a sealed indictment for rape/murder this is one of the worst trades in NFL history and we’re on the side that just took it up the butt courtesy of Reid’s greasy fingers...

Then he took this as a valuable lesson and we didn’t have the people to help him. If he’s out of LA in 3 years....what do you think that means?

When you are somewhere that is out of your comfort zone and the fans of your team attack you and you really don't get backed up by the team why would you wanna be there?

There will be fewer butts in the seats because of this move.

I honestly don't know why 5-11 with dick at quarterback makes you think you can waltz in here and share your broken english coupled with your riveting fragmented thought process.

Seriously, we even get all the dumb trolls. Because chiefs.

Andy Reid hasn't won shit in 20 years and this organization in about 50, they really don't deserve any benefit of the doubt on anything.

I don't think they cut him because of his political views. I think Kansas citys discomfort with his political actions led him down a path where he melted down, wanted out, and kc couldn't justify keeping him around for both those reasons.

I'm sure, I don't think at any point the whole fan base is like that but there is a vocal minority that ****ing hated him. I think the Chiefs probably viewed it as we don't want this problem with the fans, or with the organization because of a lot of things.

Yeah, what if he *checks notes* makes it into the Hall of Fame??? What then?!!?!?

This is all on Peters. He wanted out, acted like a douche and it worked.

Nice precedent that the Chiefs are allowing their players to set.

Could be but it’s harder to fill a stadium with a 6-10 team.

They are free to disagree. But when you start giving him shit on the field, that's where I draw the line. Ive rooted for many far more terrible people despite hating their terrible behavior. The fans put their politics above winning.

What evidence have we seen that he'll be anything other than great on the field? This move is purely because he's a pain in the ass. I have trouble seeing a scenario where he suddenly isn't getting turnovers because he's on a new team. If anything, he might be even better if he gets a DC who will really turn him loose.

Wahhhh won't somebody think of the poor poor white people, they get blamed for everything bad when they're only responsible for most of it

I hope he doesn’t pass his physical so it can be void.

Keitzman thinks it is a great deal of course.

Sad, but true.

Holy shit that is a bad trade.

Shouldn't that be all anyone needs to know about how bad it is?

The 2018 4th rounder is the real slap in the ****ing face.

Rams just COULDN'T part with that lousy ass 3rd of theirs. Traded a billion picks to get Jared Goff (who STILL isn't in the clear yet as a pro QB) and are biting on this Peters deal, but couldn't be persuaded to wretch that 3rd out of their jewy little hands?

Three 3rds would have been tits. Given us a lot of flexibility. Two 3rds and two 4ths is a giant slap in the face comparatively.

At that price, I would have just kept Peters and benched him the whole year until some team had a horrific CB injury and became desperate enough to give up a 1st.

Trash ****ing fourth rounder gimme a break.

How many W's can a single cornerback be responsible for? You can avoid them the same way teams in baseball can pitch around guys.

I loved Peters, think he's one of the best guys in the league and probably on a HOF trajectory. But I don't think he's going to make a huge impact in the amount of wins or losses the team gets by himself.

I agree but then again they had to pick up his $9 million dollar 5th year option in May. I don't know...

There should be fewer butts in the seats because this is an inept franchise that literally can't do anything right.

Well there is no arguing that.

CCOOR!!!!

You trying to tell us that all of the turnovers that Peter's had did not in any way help KC win any games? I can instantly remember his strip on Kelvin Benjamin that put KC in field position to win the game.

To be fair, I think most teams would do the same thing.

When you have a guy in the locker room, feuding with others in the organization, requesting a trade, and everything else - you don't want that guy to be around your other players.

When you have one player rotting, you want to get that rot away from the others.

We also don't know how serious this was behind the scenes. We know he requested a trade, but its possible he told them he wouldn't report to camp if he wasn't traded.

I think Peters pretty much put the Chiefs in a no win situation.

Of course, I could be wrong as well, just my two cents.

Maybe Veach wanted a 2nd rounder and couldn't get it if he demanded a 3 this year? Shit, I'd rather have a 2 next year than a 3 this year.

Let us remember what he said when the Chiefs are being torched on both sides of the field and can't buy a pick.

Unbelievable how many people can’t comprehend the big picture here..

It's not how many W's a single CB is responsible for, it's how many Ls the lack of a single CB can be responsible for.

Well of course the big picture is 'at least we tried'

Not at all.

The point being you can scheme around an elite CB. As an offense you can eliminate them from your plan.

Peters is great, but I don't think trading him away adds 4 losses on a season or something crazy. It's a team sport.

I think I'd rather of told the Rams to **** off and wait for a starting CB to go down in training camp. Desperately had to swap our 6th for a 4th right now, I guess.

Hey but Sorensen and Mitchell WILL TACKLE!!! :facepalm:

AND Fuller.

not only will Fuller tackle - looks like he's a hard hitter.

I don't know if you watched KC this season or not, but they were getting torched with Peters.

I dont understand. We had 2 more years of rookie control, and 2 years of franchise tag or a compensatory pick if he signed elsewhere. What the hell is wrong with this franchise. We need to demand that this trade doesnt go through. Id rather he take up a roster spot and ride the bench then look like chumps.

The average person is a ****ing idiot.

So you'd have preferred KC to just cut Peters then? Cause that's your other option here.

Clearly they wanted him out of the building.

Well I guess we can take solace in the fact we probably never should've had him in the first place. If it wasn't for his dumbassery in college he would've been a top 10 pick easy. I expect more bullshit from him on the Rams (along with stellar on the field play) until his inevitable arrival on the Raiders and then eventual burn out.

Thanks for the memories Deuce Deuce, we'll always have that penalty flag toss/ No sock game...

might have something to do with the fact that the other CB was dog shit and so opposing QBs never had to worry about targeting the All-Pro

Peters + Fuller would have changed that...

This is some real mental gymnastics taking place.

Because they're a dumb franchise.

You don't allow one of your most talented employees to control the situation in the first place. Not when he's under contract. He shouldn't have the ability to put the Chiefs in any type of situation. The Chiefs failed to control that situation.

What big picture part are we going to discuss?

If a player wants out of here he can just complain?

If the Chiefs have a player that wants to leave they'll gladly take pennies on the dollar and let you bend them over?

That an all pro CB was just traded for draft picks that may net 1 decent starter?

So all of that is better than having a "problem player" I guess, that is the big picture that keeps this team from ever winning anything.

Give that organization the benefit of the doubt, go ahead, they've really given us a reason to right? With their 50 years of incompetence and a head coach with 20 years of it, right?

What's Ty Law up to? AMIRITE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?! LOLOLOLOLOLOL

How bad did Reid hate Peters? An All Pro caliber CB with no off field arrests (no wife beating, no DUI's, no bar fights, no sodomizing small mammals) and they have to give up a pick to shop him?

So now, do we think the picks get packaged to get higher up this year?

Uh, is the guy unable to decide how to act on his own?

Was he able to pick how he ate, or what time he gets out of bed in the morning?

JFC, did you actually watch the Chiefs this year?

They were getting torched on the side of the field OPPOSITE Marcus Peters... i.e. the dumpster fire of Shit Stain Gaines, Terrance Mitchell, etc.

I like the person that earlier in the thread said Reid is like Belichick and is done with head cases at this part in his career.

Yea all of Bill's rings buy him that right to do it his way, Reid has none so there's no comparison.

I came up with this today. Mahomes needs to be the new leader in this locker room and maybe this was part of it. Move Peters so he can influence nor challenge him. Mahomes needs to be the alpha. Now we still have Berry and Houston as leaders on defense. But this needs to be Mahomes’ team.

What could we get for those two? They seem to be nice guys.

So Terez tweeted that the Chiefs only rolled over $2.6 million to the 2018 salary cap which was the 8th lowest in the NFL. They also spent the 2nd lowest amount in cash on player salaries yet they still had cap issues. Dorsey did a great job lol

I disagree with that...he wanted out once he realized he was stranded in farmtown and the fans turned on him. The team/owner sided with the fans...and issued a warning about kneelig. He didnt want play out his career here..and I dont blame him. Growing up inner-city black..kneeling for police abuse is something white mid-westerners cant comprehend. It's a real issue...and if I were a black athlete, would feel adamant about raising awareness. The hicks tried to parlay that into disrespecting the military...which is a joke.

If Kelce kneeled..he wouldnt have recieved the same backlash. Like it or not...race played a part in the faux-outrage.

People shocked that we didn’t clean up in a deal where only one team in the league wanted a guy we were going to release. Kind of funny.

I really like him but man did he **** up the salary cap.

The Chiefs didn't really have a choice.

Players always have control in these situations. You see hold outs and stuff every year.

Comes down to whether or not you think Peters would have been willing to sacrifice money to get a trade. Maybe he would have, maybe he wouldn't have, but at that point you're just playing a game of chicken.

And again, when you have a player THAT disgruntled, its best to get him away from other players. One bad apple can fracture a locker room.

This will never register with anyone until the Rams cut him and he can't get better than vet minimum or something.

Which for his sake I hope never happens. I hope he figures his shit out and is able to realize his full potential in LA.

Travis Kelce has done a bunch of dumb shit too, he got a new contract.

In my opinion, hunt and Reid could have taken a stronger public stance to help peters and show they have his back, but feared the fan backlash. I'm sure they tried things behind closed doors, but in public they left him out there to take grenades. I can understand and appreciate that's not an easy position for hunt or reid.

Kelce did kneel.
