Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters’ frustration following the Chiefs’ 38-31 loss to the New York Jets didn’t end immediately after the game, it appears.
According to a report by NFL Network’s Mike Garafalo, Peters also had a verbal altercation with an assistant coach on the bus during the team’s ride to airport following the game. The assistant coach was not named.
The Star reported Thursday that Peters’ suspension was related to his decision to leave the field prematurely following the flag toss. The club viewed that as a team issue, as opposed to the penalty flag toss, which it deemed a league issue that Peters was ultimately fined $24,409 for on Friday.
The NFL Network report cited Peters’ decision to leave the field as a reason for the one-game suspension coach Andy Reid levied on him earlier this week, with the verbal altercation also being a contributing factor.
The Chiefs still had a little over two minutes left to tie the game, and Peters returned to the sideline –– albeit with no socks –– as the offense made its last-gasp attempt. But the drive stalled out, and the Chiefs lost for the sixth time in seven games.
Peters’ suspension means the Oakland native will miss the Chiefs’ showdown Sunday against his hometown Raiders. He was not allowed to practice this week and will forfeit a game check. [Reply]
I'd be floored if this actually happens. Just because Florio says it twice doesn't make it true. LaCanfora has been red assed about all things Kansas City since the Royals knocked the Orioles out of the playoffs. [Reply]
The only thing giving me hope that this is just talking head chatter is the fact that we haven't heard a peep out of our own local reporters outside of Mellinger, who outright said he'd be shocked if it happened. [Reply]

You KNEW Peters had an attitude problem, and yet still drafted him. Now he's put in a DROY performance and an All Pro performance as well, and we're reportedly putting him on the block because of his attitude? What an absolute failure by Reid. Goddamn it, I fucking KNEW this team would sour me this offseason, because motherfucking Chiefs.

Nah, this potential trade chatter shit just reminded me of how absolutely horrible Reid was at handling Peters this year. Its fucking irritating. [Reply]

Andy Reid is one of the best players coaches in the NFL who has thrived with bad character guys his entire career, most notably TO.
If Andy Reid wants to get rid of Marcus right now, then it says a hell of a lot about Marcus Peters and his character than anything else. [Reply]

Yeah, he's a good players coach. That's why this shit was allowed to fester for so long. Just like with Kelce and his dumbass antics. Its just like Tomlin in Pittsburgh. Let a toxic situation fester in the interest of being a "players coach" instead of doing your goddamned job and disciplining guys when they need it. [Reply]

Er, that balancing act with TO worked for all of one season before Reid got rid of him... for his constantly mouthing off and being a problem in the locker room. [Reply]
They should hire Kevin Ross for an afternoon with the sole purpose being to beat the ever-loving shit out of Marcus Peters. Picking up your own teeth teaches both respect and humility. [Reply]

How did Marcus play after the suspension?
I think Reid handled things fine. Don’t be dramatic. Or would you prefer the Mike Singletary approach? [Reply]

How do you know they didn't try to curb it? We only know what we know. There is a great unknown about what happens around the team sometimes it leaks out sometimes it doesn't.
It could be the Hunts are fed up and told Veach and Andy to get the best deal you can just be gone before training camp. Or this could be a bs rumor. [Reply]
I for one was pissed at him this year with his attitude but you have to admit opposing QBs mostly stayed away from his side of the field. He needs to act professional and be a Chief . [Reply]
