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]

How much of a problem they really are, we just don’t know
Eric Berry’s contract is not a 2 year prohibitive contract. We are locked into him financially until 2022. [Reply]

The same things you are criticizing Marcus Peters for doing, can also be said of Travis Kelce, yet you aren't calling for Kelce to be traded.
We can cut him and get $12 million in cap space with $4 million in dead money.
That’s why Clark fired Dorsey...for shit like this. $4 million would put us at 22nd in the NFL in dead money for just Berry.
Seems pretty clear that Clark set the precedent for Veach to set up better contracts so we don’t end up in this mess again. [Reply]
Edit: I'm joking - but in all honestly I'm surprised Peter's is ranked #5 in the league and Rhodes #7 -- I would have guessed (without looking) that Rhodes was higher... [Reply]
