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 ****.

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.
