If you could sign Marcus Peters tomorrow..

[pugsnotdrugs19]

to a 5-year $90M contract, would you want the Chiefs to do it?

I bring this up because it is an incredibly tough choice the Chiefs are having to ponder now. The highest paid corner in the league, Josh Norman, makes $15M per year. I am only estimating, but I would bet that extending Peters will take roughly $18M per year.

I think I would actually do it if I was Veach, and here is why. The sooner we can get it out of the way, the better. We're just buying back prime years. If they extend him now for 5 seasons, he will be 30 years old during the last season of the contract, his 9th NFL season.

Despite the occasional on-field antics, this kid has forced 25 turnovers (19 INTs, 6 FFs) in his first three regular seasons (46 games). TWENTY-FIVE. Absolutely incredible. Good for a turnover more than every other game. He's also had 2 INTs in his 4 playoff games.

I thought after the Jets game, when all hell had broke loose, that we should trade him. But, it seems like his teammates love him, so I don't think he is a 'cancer' by any means. Just very competitive.

Thoughts?

I’d sign him without blinking. Don’t think he’d sign right now though.

[TimeForWasp]

With his attitude, he would probably hold out if we franchise him. I think we should sign him to a long term team friendly contract (as possible) and trade him for picks in a couple years. At least then we could control where he goes. In a couple years we could manuver his replacement.

I'd give him a lifetime $200,000,000 contract and require that he kneel at the 50 during the anthem every game just to watch all the soft, simple folk melt down for the rest of eternity.

[GloryDayz]

Between his tackling, emotional, and other issues, he's not worth at kind of cash. Along with that, that kind of cash probably ensures the other side of the defense remains stuck in literal hell in terms of players.

Or, here's a max contract for being a Top 10 CB in the league who shuts down one half of the field and who also leads that league in INTs and turnovers forced the last 3 years.

And he's made several "big boy" tackles...But even if he hasn't, he'd still be worth it because of already mentioned reasons.

But sure, let's get rid of our best defensive playmaker because you don't like him as a person. LOL

Of course TigeRR the Alexsexual would oppose of this.

With a qb still on a rookie deal how much does that save us?

[Coogs]

I think we should at least start negotiating with him to see what his contract demands are going to be. If they are totally out of reason, it may be time to start shopping him and let some other team deal with the contract issues. JMO.

Again, I am all for rebuilding the defense over these next 2 years. A 4-3, and make a commitment to stop the run and pressure the passer. We are doing neither in our 3-4.

Find out if Peters is in or out for the long haul, and go with it. Either way.

[O.city]

I’m as big of a Peters fan as anyone, but I’d let him play out his deal and probably franchise tag him.

[RINGLEADER]

Not sure what his fifth-year option will cost or what the average is after that to tag him, but provided someone doesn't give us two #1s for him I could see us franchise him a couple of times. He may decide to not show up, but tagging players for multiple years seems to becoming a normal thing.

Yeah, not much of a reason to do so if you're him. I doubt he's going to suddenly suck so his value just goes up.

Sean Smith will be available soon

To start his prison sentence, yeah...

[Reerun_KC]

I would sign him just to Piss off rhe homer true fans that crave 9-7 and One and done.

That same stupid asshats that cry”it’s too risky!” We must get a RG and move him to left tackle.

Same stupid ****ing asshats that feel we have to trade for proven backups at QB.

Sign him and enjoy the benefits of a top 5 corner.

[Prison Bitch]

No. He had a terrible year according to pro football ref AV calcs, falling to a 5 score down from 11 and 13 last two years. This season is a big one for Marcus.

[ILChief]

Yes
