Yeah, sure, let's just ignore the fact that the guy was booted from his college team, played out of control last season, fought with his mom, called her a **** and quit on the team.

All perfectly acceptable behavior.

:facepalm:

And thanks for the response as to why many, many other teams that could have used his services, that could possibly put the team over the top and in the Super Bowl, passed.

Butt****.

No this is actually detrimental to Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes II because at camp it's competition and that's how they get better so Tyreek won't be challenged near as much in practice. That's going bite us.

A team misses out on a draft target, injuries, etc. and who knows what you get.

Trading him this early makes absolutely no ****ing sense.

Perhaps other teams WOULD come calling when their other options didn't turn out the way they hoped they would.

You act like this is a bad result for Peters. He makes out like a bandit.

I think there's a huge difference between being aloof or quiet or even a bit angry as opposed to constant meltdowns and distractions.

Peters has been a distraction since college, which is why he's been essentially booted from both teams that initially thought he'd be easier to manage.

Clearly, he brought this upon himself.

How so? To be traded for a 4th round pick?

No contract extension?

No long term stability?

No "Generational" money?

I'd say Peters ****ed himself. And the sad thing is, he probably hasn't learned a damn thing.

I'd prefer he be a decent human being that would mature with age. I seriously enjoyed watching him on the field. I didn't mind seeing his frustration. i get that. But I'm a fan, I have no clue what he's like to work with.

Would I have liked to get more compensation? Sure. Of course. Its really a punch in the gut to go from thinking we are going to have Peters, Fuller, and Berry in the backfield to Fuller, Berry and bunch of question marks.

Still I'll say this. For years we have bitched and moaned about being a team that is too set in its ways. Playing things way too conservatiely. Now we have GM in Veach who is very agressive. Making moves early and often. Some huge victories (Smith) others dampen your spirits (Peters). Still I think if we really want to see this team in the Super Bowl you have to get young and stay focused. I think Peters was a focus issue. Think about it, you are trying to build a super bowl contenders in year 2 or 3 of the Mahomes era. But yeah that pro-bowl ball hawking 25 year old CB should be part of path there but you can't trust him. Can't trust him to keep his head on straight, can't trust him to even be an option for the team when you are ready to compete.

In short I get it, I just don't like it.

Pattern of behavior.

Booted off his college team, booted off his professional team.

Why would anyone believe that his third team would be any different?
