Some insight on #Rams moving on from Marcus Peters: They are encouraged by play of Troy Hill and really like their younger corners and want to see them play.
I watched Peters in that SF-Rams game. He is god awful in run support. He refuses to tackle anything but a wide receiver. No way he'll help bring down a Tight End or running back. He's making business decisions on every play. That BS is not gonna play well with Baltimore, who prides itself on aggressive defense and a hard hitting secondary. [Reply]

Also, conspiracy theory, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Peters had another outburst. The timing/compensation of this trade makes no sense unless the Rams wanted him gone NOW. [Reply]

I remember the sinister undertones w/ the Maclin release.
"He must have a DV arrest on the way...."
And as it turns out they just didn't want to pay the guy when they had this Hill fella they thought might be pretty good if they gave him a shot at the Z position.
Sometimes you just wanna see someone else play. It is odd, though - Marcus Peters has been pretty good this year. Not quite elite, but probably a top 20ish guy.
But they pretty clearly knew they weren't bringing him back next year so they decided to salvage the asset. [Reply]
