So all customers supported trolling good players? Did it ever occur to you that there are many fans who want to win at all costs, and are disgusted at fans who put their social activism above winning? Are these fans supposed to be polite about it?

And go ahead and check the timeline. Peters' most visible protest headline was the day of the Vegas shooting before the Redskins game. He took a ton of shit for the protest, signs all over the stadium specifically directed at him in a nationally televised game, and it made national headlines. That week, he snaps at fans who were obviously trolling him. Next week, he snaps at Sutton. Two weeks later, the bizarre Raiders game and his road trip with Marshawn. But yeah, I'm sure that game had little impact whatsoever on his mental state.

In a backpack or gym bag?

It's not a threat. It just isn't fun any more. If it were not for the hope that Mahomes can be a HOF QB, there just isn't anything about this franchise to be excited about.

LMAO

Mahomes is 22 years old. His Hall of Fame case is at least 20 years in the future, if ever.

Good ****ing grief.

The most mystifying part of this...is "supposedly" no other team was interested. It's not like the guy was arrested or had pending legal issues. He didnt beat anyone up or slap around a woman. He wasnt on PEDs...or busted with guns/drugs.

He was an emotional hothead...but this is football and he's putting up potential HOF numbers...and costs next to nothing.

The NFL, universally, just treated the Chiefs like he was a leper w/ no redeeming value...which is fishy as ****.

Warner Bros. hobo-style:

https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qim...bfab0a73bcd7-c

**** an a. Tell me one reason why any black player would pick the Chiefs over another team. Our only hope is that Mahomes is so spectacular that our winning supersedes all. But I wouldn't count on any free agents coming to KC.

JFC were you alive 6 years ago when KC Star reporters unloaded massive tons of the Chiefs’ dirty laundry in the form of the “Arrowhead Anxiety” special report that essentially was the beginning of the end for Fat Scott in KC?!

Not really. When you consider that this is not the same league as the one we grew up with, it makes much more sense.

Within 5 years of starting we'll know whether he's on the trajectory.

Winning cures all ills. Imagine how many "black players" were waiting in line to go to sunny Boston in 1999?

Not if Reid and Peters were on good terms...then there is no logical explanation for zero interest.

Something is bogus...and I'm sticking with the LA only theory.

"Building LA" is it?

Good luck with that, NFL. Seriously, that whole thing is gonna' flop. The Rams have been gone far too long and NO ONE gives a **** about the Chargers. I hope they sink every shitty penny they have in to that glorified trash-heap. The collapse will be spectacular.

Half of them need to be replaced. We got poor performance from at least half the defense.

I agree with you on that front...but the NFL will die trying to make them a success. You thought 3 free plays against the Raiders was horseshit...wait until the Mexico game. ROFL

Meh. It's dirty Mexico, filled with dirty Mexicans; I would expect no less!

Not really. The limited interest was Peters refusal to sign a extension with any teams other than those in Cali. The Browns and Colts had interest initially, but withdrew once they were told he had no desire to go there and if they did trade for him he would not resign. So considering ALL the risks involved its easy to see why there was a lack of interest. The Raiders and Chargers were automatically eliminated as possibilities which left the Rams and 49ers. The Chiefs tried to grant his wishes and deal with a team that he agreed to play for and if everything goes well, resign with.

This has a grain of truth. At the same time it illustrates why you can't decide whether you will make a trade until you know what the offer is. We gave Peters away at essentially what we would have got in FA compensation. Clark is still a neophyte in this league.

Again, this is pure speculation.

If Peters didn’t have any altercations with fans, players or the coaching staff in 2018, the Chiefs would likely receive a 3rd Comp Pick in 2019.

Furthermore, Peters would be allowed to choose his team.

How would you feel if Peters was a Raider, Charger or Bronco for years on end?

From a pure football perspective, I am absolutely not a fan of this trade. But my better judgment says that if the Chiefs had no intention of picking up his 5th year option and no intention of signing him to a long term extension, at least they were able to choose his destination, which is out of the AFC and AFC West in particular.

They’re also receiving far better compensation than a late 3rd round 2019 draft choice and at minimum, 33 slots ahead of a 3rd round Comp pick, which are usually between 97-106, along with a 4th this year.

It’s a damn shame that the Chiefs felt they needed to part with Marcus Peters but in the end, it could have been a lot worse.

If we got a a 3rd round 2019 pick through FA, at least he played for us in 2018. plus we have an option for 2019. We sold him at the bottom of the market.

Good grief

When it's all said and done...this scenario only happened because CHunt is a spineless turd. He valued the opinions of racist, couch patriots and the faux-wholesome appearance of his product more than winning. He had to protect the image of the fake anthem celebration, also, as he was being payed, covertly, by the DOD to do so...that's some shady shit.

You can blame Peters...but under all the layers of horseshit, Chunt being a greedy corporate weasel with no soul is the root of the issue.

This team will never win anything as long as the Hunts own it....

It's not like anyone else was stepping up to the plate.

****, here we go with this shit again....

THIS!!!! Yeah, keep him for a year, let him walk and then play against him two times a year against Oakland and watch him and Beast Mode dance for 30 minutes on the sideline whenever they squeak out a win against us. No thanks!

So we basically get two picks for him, one of which is better than the ONE we would have gotten by keeping him and then letting him go. Everybody stop crying and acting like the team doesn't want to win by letting him go. Keeping Alex would have been the HUGE mistake that indicates no desire to win because we KNOW hos that story ends. Again, this team goes as far as 2PM's talent takes them.

2PM! YEEEEEEEEE÷EEEEEEW#####$$$$%%^^^$$$$$$$@@ssssssss!

Chiefs received a net increase of a 2019 pick.

Don’t break out the kazoos. It was an epically bad haul for an ascending All-Pro.

no clue. i dont know anyone on that side

So you would break out the kazoos for a 3rd round comp pick in 2020?

The idiots on 610 were going off on the fans this morning. They reminded me why I quit listening to their shitty show. They make one stupid comment after another.

At least it was a short drive.

Yea they're stupid alright, how terrible they don't agree that the Chiefs trading one of their top players for nothing is brilliant.

The trade sucks as bad as Peters attitude and antics. He's an immature hood rat asshole that Clark wasn't going to pay so that's that. That's two teams hes been thrown off of in his football career.
We should pass judgement on this player movement after Veach has a chance to do something.

Do you understand that your post is highly racist man?

What's stupid about them is all they bring up is the anthem as if that's the only reason Peters was traded. There were many reasons and he was also kicked out of college and it had nothing to do with the anthem. He's a hot headed prick.

Well so is Travis Kelce, how'd that work out?

No it isn't. Drive down Paseo, plenty of hood rats that are white and mexican.

Yes it is, you are using the term "hood rat" instead of another one same way people use thug. That is basically casual racism because you change the term doesn't mean you change what it implies.

Aw cmon nobody on CP is racist:)

Thanks for the link.

My only comments are that: (1) it is still KC leaking all the info so you have to take it with a grain of salt, (2) Peters and Kelce should have been disciplined before things got to the point they did, (3) interesting that they say Peters practiced hard. Maybe he wasn't a huge headache M-G, and (4) the kneeling/sitting played a role.

I don't doubt that this is true. What I doubt is the concept of selling low on a player who could make a HUGE difference on the next several years defenses.

Just keep him. If it doesn't work out then dfa his butt and oh well. If it does, then everyone is happy.

What you DO NOT DO is settle for mediocrity. A fourth and a second (third round value) is settling for mediocrity.

Trading an active, festering, bleeding, and expanding cancer that can't tackle is bad?

I think parts of everything played into the decision. As it should.

You are implying not me. Plenty of white thugs out there. Mexican thugs as well. You are generalizing I mean a black guy, not me. Remember House of Pain? They were Irish thugs.

Right thats why its been widely reported over and over again that 2 teams were interested in Peters and 8 teams were interested in Smith.

But hey just go with what YOU believe.

Great move by the Rams, not giving up much for a HOF shutdown corner. Wade Phillips has won a Super Bowl with Talib and the Rams i'm sure feel Phillips can relate to Peters better than Old Man Sutton.

Peters mental weakness and instability pretty much assures he will never ever reach his full potential.

He has a HOF trajectory as it stands today, what the hell else do you want?

For him to not quit on his team when times get tough would be a nice start.

Is Phillips younger than Sutton?

Phillips will harness that negative energy towards his scheme instead of wasting it like Sutton.

I look for this to be the best payoff trade in the NFL for 2 years until he gets paid. Phillips will probably retire, and the wheels will come off for Peters.

Too bad we didn't use him for those 2 years. Sutton can get fisted by an elephant afflicted with gigantism.

I love how, if Peters and Sutton butted heads it's Suttons fault and he should go. Sutton probably should've gone but not because Peters isn't coachable. He's had several coaches and so far is batting .000. Why will Phillips reach him?

His trajectory took a rather large dip last season. About the same time his antics took a huge upswing.

Phillips has kicked ass and taken names for decades. His scheme is aggressive, the kind of defense that players love. His success has earned him a ton of respect. What the **** has Sutton done?


No doubt that Peters is a POS, but when that is harnessed it can be deadly.

Sutton actually fielded a top 10 defense at least 3 of his years here. People forget the defense wasn't the issue most of the time he has been here.

Yes, he kicks ass. But why will he change Peters? I'm betting Peters stays the same.

The only two California nfc teams were the only two teams interested, and they're smack dab next to Oakland. What an incredible coincidence.

Until this year, the regular season D had been good under Sutton, but essentially can't force a punt in the post-season (other than against Houston).

I went back and looked at the stats -- top 6 in yards per play 2014 and 2015. Still, the playoff collapses are way too much for me.

Peters owns as much of this shit sandwich as anyone involved.

Do I want him gone? No.
Do I understand why he’s gone? Yes.

I’m ****ing over it.

:facepalm:

It’s not a coincidence. It just doesn’t mean what YOU think it means.

Almost exactly where I'm at.

Pest is right.

lol

You don't think there were a number of teams that backed out primarily because they knew he'd never sign a long term deal? No team is going to give a quality picks for a 1-2 year rental who comes with baggage. Undoubtedly some teams didn't want to take the risk on the attitude. But there are plenty of other reasons to back out of the market. It's more than possible that the Chiefs gave peters some leverage to decide where he wanted to go.

In the last 4 days they had to put a "power" behind the applicable number.

They got a year's advance on a compensation pick for a dude that wasn't going to willingly sign with the team barring some ginormous payday by the Hunt family.

Not ideal that they put themselves into this position and it defintely hampered getting the best possible reward in a trade, but beyond that there's not a lot that can be done now.

Pretty much where I'm at.

And I'm sure there were a lot of teams that didn't want to trade for him because they knew that he wouldn't sign with him after the two years.

Even Walter from Walterfootball.com, who has historically hated on the Chiefs in the past, doesn't thing it's a horrible trade for us.

Ultimately, the trade will be judged by whether or not Veach is able to acquire significant help from the 2018 4th rounder and the 2019 2nd rounder.

If he's able to grab a couple of key players or use one of those picks to acquire a key player, it'll be judged favorably.

If it results in a Javier Arenas type player, it'll be judged as a failure.

Time will tell.

Don't you DARE hate on Javier Arenas!!

Did we win every game that Peters played in? No we didn't. The best shutdown corner can only cover half the field at best. What did teams do when they played the Chiefs? They threw away from Peters. I'd much rather have a budding superstar like Mahomes than a ticking time bomb like Peters. It sucks that we had to let a talented player like Peters go but sometimes you have to face reality and do what's best for the whole team. Let's see what they do in free agency and the draft and then reevaluate our status going into the upcoming season.

Please explain why it needs to be one or the other. Thx.

As soon as Peters attacks and chokes Wade Phillips, you'll find out...

Peters was never sticking around unless it was a huge payday... You can't pay Mahommes in 3 years with a huge payday being given to someone that isn't a good leader on your team.

Only way to be if one is going to look at this rationally.

I hate losing the player, but I can also recognize that’s it’s probably the right move for both parties.

I'm still trying to find a way to be upset, but I can't. His talent might be missed, his antics won't be.

I hope he decides to reflect and fix the antics part of life. If he does, he'll be fine.

I hope the Chiefs realize that they can't suck after this, and old man Sutton better overachieve, or they're screwed.
