This might be the dumbest comment I've read about the compensation.
31 other teams had an opportunity to trade for Marcus Peters for a 4th round pick this year and only ONE made the deal.
Think about that:
The Vikings, who already have a great defense, passed on him.
The Eagles, the defending Super Bowl champs, passed on him.
The Saints, whose defense turned a corner this year but lost to the Vikings passed on him.
The Falcons, who have a good defense but would have clearly upgraded with Peters passed on him.
The Green Bay Packers, who need a shit ton of help on defense, passed on him.
The Bears, led by Matt Nagy, who are likely to lose Kyle Fuller to Free Agency, passed on him.
Many, many Super Bowl contenders passed on Peters. Hell, the Eagles gave up a 4th round pick for Jay Ajayi, but wouldn't give up a 4th for Peters.
Only one team wanted this guy.
One.
