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]

What’s the minimum you take from Cleveland? Another team?
Minimum of a 1+3, regardless of who the team is. [Reply]
I'd take a first round pick and Gareon Conley from the Raiders. He didn't play much if at all last year due to injury. Might have been doable before Gruden got there but probably not now. [Reply]

Talking Cleveland?
Give me one of Joel Bitonio or David Njoku + #33 pick (2) + #64 pick (2)
Nab Tim Settle, Malik Jefferson, and a top safety (Watts, Allen, Reid, Elliott, White) with the three 2nd round picks.
Bitonio steps in and solidifies your line or Njoku becomes a 1b TE weapon for Mahomes.

As Veach "stiffens" the other side, Peters will start to get more targets. Personel and position groups have helped with him being "elite". Teams don't have to go "at him" when there are weaknesses abound. You don't have to throw to his side just run right by him as he doesn't/rarely tackles. [Reply]

Seems like it would be the wise thing to do
Guys a turnover machine. Imagine if we had a pass rush. [Reply]

You're such a dumb fuck about pretty much everything. I don't get this rarely tackles thing either. Quit talking out of your ass you waste of sperm. [Reply]

Sounds like a real piece of shit. We should probably just outright cut him. [Reply]
