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]
Did fans of teams Deion Sanders played for complain constantly about his tackling? Serious question. On a related note, Peters created more turnovers in his first 3 years than Sanders did in literally any 3 year stretch of his career.

Its a very fair point, and I was right there with the naybobs about his tackling, and other nonsense that was a detriment to the team
But it cooled off after the suspension, because he had clearly cooled off
After that he was engaged, focused and looked just like the MP from his first two years, in other words... he looked like a guy you NEVER get rid of
But its kinda fun to play Devils Advocate, as Dane says
Should this go down, lets calmly review all of the lines of thinking and potential scenarios, without turning into a screaming pile of know it all assholes
Too much is being made of conjecture right now, lets see what happens... and THEN decide what it looks like, or means [Reply]

I've given explanations as to why the Chiefs might trade Peters, with Clark Hunt not wanting to give Peters a 5 year $90 million dollar deal with $38 million guaranteed as being the most plausible.
Never once have I advocated for or said that Peters should be traded.
Understood. I would hope that would be the case. [Reply]
Peters is as good as gone. Clark will not have a player pull all the shit Peters has. Reid is a lenient guy and even he had enough. Peters is really good so Brett should get something good. [Reply]

Will the Chiefs trade Marcus Peters?@MikeGarafolo with the latest ⤵️

I hate his charitable work and stuff.
He's a good guy, he's just from the hood. His outlook on life, and how he sees the world is going to be a lot different than your average midwestern white guy.
I'm more interested in watching him play football than I am psychoanalyzing him to make sure we agree on everything. [Reply]
You know how I know this is more than likely all bullshit?
Today, actual reports surfaced that Trevor Siemian is up for trade. Rapoport said it, and it was likely leaked from team sources. Legit, solid information.
All of this Peters stuff was blown up out of some nonsensical speculation by Florio. Now, will they listen to offers now? Definitely, they always should... but I don’t think they are seeking to get rid of a superstar player. [Reply]

This is kind of like when the White Sox were dealing with Chris Sale. He’s a stud CY Young type starter and a hot head. The Sox are in a rebuild and would only trade him for a king’s ransom. They got that. I don’t think anyone is giving up a king’s ransom for Peters. [Reply]

Well that does it. If the rojo retard says it, I'd bet the opposite happens. [Reply]
