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]

Lotta buzz around it.
Wow, this went from "speculation' to maybe happening in less than 24 hours.
Like I said earlier, if they can get at least a 1st rounder for him it saves them $16 million against the cap beginning next season and if they had to Franchise him in 2020 because he wants to bail, it would cost them close to $20 million.
If this happens, at least Veach is being proactive so that we won't see another Justin Houston/Eric Berry scenario.
Those huge deals rarely pay off. People around here are pissed at Houston - hell, look at JJ Watt since he signed his $104 million dollar deal. [Reply]

No team is gonna trade a first for him though, they’re gonna ya e to give him a new contract upon said trade as well.
I’d guess the best they could get would be a 2nd.
Unless the dude is just bat shit crazy , it doesn’t make sense [Reply]
If Andy Reid wants to trade away Marcus Peters, you know it’s all on him.
If this is happening, we better get some damn good compensation. A top 20 pick and additional pick should be the baseline for this deal. No less. [Reply]
This would be a bad move. A really bad move. If you wanna trade him, then do it next off-season.
Putting your faith in Fuller, who's only had one good season, and Amerson, who also has only had one good season...several seasons ago....is a recipe for disaster. Fuller isn't a guy you put against their #1 receiver. [Reply]

This.
I still think it’s bullshit. When’s the last time La Canfora broke Chiefs news? [Reply]
Well the Chiefs would have a blockbuster fleece trade in their favor then dump the best CB in the league for a draft pick or something stupid because Chiefs. However, my instincts say this is bullshit. La canfora is speculating in a slow news period. [Reply]
