Anyone who's ever managed people has had a Peters.
I ran a 16 bay shop that ran 2 short shifts, 7 days a week. I had a so called Pre-Madonna who could knock out front end rebuild's, brake overhauls, bend exhaust, shocks, springs a lot faster than anyone else, with few comebacks. Preform almost perfect alignments too. Totally worthless on electrical. Tune ups, battery drains, lights not working.
Shop policy was, before he signed on, if you can't do the work then you turn over the ticket and forfeit your turn in line. He turned into a "Whiney Little Bitch" whenever he had to loose a big brake or ball joint ticket to the point nobody wanted to sell his tickets, get him parts, and other techs wouldn't help him out like they used to. no one would guide him in per policy, bleed brakes with him, because of his bad attitude of how he was getting ****ed by the system. That "Whiney Little Bitch" attitude got him transfered to a store that only did limited work and where he earned 1/2 as much and in trade, I found a "full service" tech and all went back to normal.
Peters taking a knee, riding bikes, put a negative rap on the whole team. I am sure players got tired of hearing about/ being asked about it. His "I am too good to tackle" bullshit probably went over like a rock with other players who came to work with the goal of winning, not muddying the water with politics. Toss in yelling at coaches, throwing flags, and the maybe **** word with his mom and it was his turn to go. He is not a fit with "midwest values" just like Dennis Rodman would fit if we still had the Kings.
I don't think this is a done deal, they may have come to terms but Peters agent and possible FA arrangements have to be met and we just got this a little too early, Lets not hope that the Chiefs through Peters under the bus and are going to trade him, right here, right now, no matter how bad the deal looks.
If you were Clark, reading as you know they do, would you listen to the fans and not conclude the deal just to get rid of Peters. Do you just flip the puter onto Skype and say " I'm out, I came to you wanting a burger with cheese fries and I'm leaving with soggy egg salad with fruit jello... Up the terms or we are out.

I've dealt with people like peters at work. I run a run a group of welders at a manufacturing facility. I had one guy who occasionally displayed his full potential as a high quality welder at a fast rate. When first hired, he was "hungry" to prove his worth and convinced me to bump him up in pay. After a while, it was obvious why a talented welder was unemployed in the first place. His life outside work (drugs and alcohol), directly affected his work ethics and just general attitude toward leadership and coworkers. Over time, we were forced to let him go for the better of the line as a whole.
Although an entirely different scenario, this kind of related to Peters and the Chiefs organization. While Peters excels at his skilled profession, his attitude is detrimental to the team as a whole.
