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]

Agreed, I dont wanna hear all this 2nd BS
All-Pro skill position players bring a 1st at the minimum... whatever kinda contract the trading partner has to offer him is their problem, dont diminish the value of our player just because you have to pay him [Reply]
I'm not sure if the idea that his value is somehow at its peak now, or a low probability of injury means go get buttfucked on a trade today is the worst part of your post.
If the Chiefs move Peters right now for a 2+4, barring some devastating bombshell, Veach should clean his fucking desk out after finalizing the trade. [Reply]

Yes bc it’s solely Brett Veach making this call. This is Andy Reid’s football team. If Peters is traded it will be because Andy and/or Clark want him gone and he is such a big problem that they don’t want to deal with him for another year. [Reply]

Veach controls the roster, so yeah it's his call. [Reply]

It better be for a hell of a lot more than a first rounder unless the pick is in the top 5. You're not just taking back your original investment on a guy that's top 5 at his position and has 2 years left on his rookie deal.
Just a first rounder would cause me to lose my mind. [Reply]

If the Chiefs are intent on trading him, I'm sure they'll take the highest bidder, as long as it's not in the division [Reply]
