@AdamSchefter: Marcus Peters to LA Rams trade is now officially agreed to, per source; cannot be processed until March 14. But Peters expected to be a Ram.

Exactly!

We kept Sutton's sorry ass because we didn't have the players he needed to run the scheme he wanted.

I got an idea, lets trade our best corner and open another gaping hole so now QB's have the entire field instead of Peter's shutting down one side.

As good as he is, if it was bad enough to trade him, I'd imagine it wasn't something they wanted to deal with.

Reid has been in the league a long time. He's not dumb.

What a shitty monday morning.

You are discounting that they just wanted gone. Got what they could from a team willing give him more money and a team in a location he would play at.

O.city · 02-26-2018, 09:54 AM

It sucks that it came to this. It is what it is though.

Correct and that changes nothing about what I said. I meant he is a UFA after next year, not cut.

Edit: it does however tell you why they traded him this season not next.

No. It’s more like selling a million dollar home with foundation issues.

I'm not even sure it's that he was traded it's more than it looks like he was traded for a sack of shit.

If you dangle one of your top guys and no one bites you try to make that relationship work.

Did I mention Rams play KC in Mexico this year....I'm pretty sure i did.

Hill burning Peters on a Mahomes bomb would be glorious

You think they didn't try to make it work?

Jesus, I get it sucks that they moved him, but come on.

Don't know if I agree with it, but here's an interesting take...

http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt...202135594.html

"Chiefs trade star Marcus Peters as smart AFC West rivals steepen the climb for Denver Broncos. Klee believes the trade helps the Chiefs.

He wrote: "The Chiefs became a more severe long-term threat Friday when they traded star cornerback Marcus Peters to the Rams. On the surface it looks like a blow to Kansas City: Peters is 25 and shows 21 interceptions in three seasons. The Chiefs will be better off in the long run without Marcus Peters. If Peters is that much of an asset, why did K.C.'s defense rank 30th (out of 32) in DVOA and why would a franchise move on from a 20-something All-Pro at a premium position?

"Easy. Peters isn't worth the trouble. As I wrote in August in a column on John Elway and the anthem protests, 'it's a business,' as players like to say.

"When guys hurt the bottom line — and you should've heard some of the fan vitriol aimed at Peters when the Broncos played at Kansas City — teams make a business decision to rid themselves of bad optics, whether you agree with their politics or not. Peters in conservative K.C. was bad for business."

And you haven't found another house to live in yet

and that old fixer upper is actually nicer than 98% of houses

and that old fixer upper is actually cheaper than 98% of houses

Sutton made this defense a top 10 unit in points allowed every year. The playoff game was the only time in over a year that the Chiefs gave up more than 21 points at home, and it took a fluke pass TD from Marriotta to do it.

Getting rid of Sutton after 1 bad year bc he couldn’t make a defense full of headaches and scrubs a top unit is not logical.

You wanna get mad? Get mad at Dorsey for drafting shitty players like Dee Ford and Phillip Gaines while also drafting a raging lunatic in Marcus Peters.

The defense was not talented last year. Not even close. No DC could get that pile of shit to be good and yet they were still above average in points allowed and gave the Chiefs every possible chance to win the playoff game.

Because our D line, safeties, linebackers, other corners, and d coordinator all suck balls

that's why
