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 can he reach them if he isn't given the chance. I get that you start 2 CB's but if he takes over the right side he is going to get more chances. [Reply]
There are rumors out there which I don't want to be true either about The SB50 Champs cutting Talib to save cap money to sign Cousin's. I still think there is room to rework his deal along with DT's to reduce cap to sign the other guys they need to but if John is feed up with Talib the way the chefs are said to be with Peters and the chefs can be a player money wise the Peters rumor makes more sense.

Its not a rumor. Its Florio throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks. [Reply]

Taking away one guy to sign another is not blowing up the team. I would be happy with a top 10 D and an Offense that can score throwing twice as many TD's as INT's and pass for over 4k yards a year. [Reply]

So far I've seen Talib, Sanders, Thomas, and Anderson all as possibilities to be traded/cut. [Reply]

DT is not going anywhere, CJ just plain costs too much, Sanders would have to be traded, cutting him doesn't save enough cap to replace him.
So I will give you 2 guys.
If they trade/cut Talib and or Sanders then it is for the same reason as TJ Ward was cut last year. Performance. Sanders was hurt all last year and did nothing to help out the 3 bad QB's we started. DT managed to play well considering who was throwing him the ball. I agree Talib could fall off the table in year 12 like Champ did in year 14.
Plus it makes no sense to pay big money for a QB then cut both of your top WR's.
Back to the topic of the thread after this post. [Reply]

As it should be.
Has everyone gotten their little Bill O'Reilly fits out of their system yet? Or are we still 'midwesting' the Chiefs best DB? [Reply]

You guys are going to lose Sanders and Talib to sign a QB that had 26 combined fumbles and interceptions last year. That’s with decent receivers and a good OL. [Reply]
Broncos have 25 million in cap before the draft. If they don't move around during the draft that's another 10 million to those guys. 15 million left. [Reply]

They're really on the reach to make this deal go down. I love it.

What’s the minimum you take from Cleveland? Another team?
Veach has been aggressive but I don't see this happening at all. I'd want a player for player type deal honestly. Give me Myles Garrett or the 4th pick. Then I'd turn around and trade back and recoup a ton of picks from a team wanting to move up for a QB. This is fantasy land because Peters isn't getting traded. He's just way too valuable and creates so many big plays. The return would be astronomical and an absolute blockbuster [Reply]
