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]

Think about how little you have to actually know about the Chiefs to think adding Fuller and Amerson might mean we’re trading Peters?
There’s two ways to look at it, IMO.
1. Veach acquired Fuller and Amerson to strengthen the secondary.
2. Veach acquired Fuller and Amerson because his plan is to trade Peters.
I don’t know if you have a ton of family and friends in the KC area but everyone, including my freaking mom, who knows nothing about football, was disgusted by Peters actions in 2017.
I think it’s auite possible that it was worse behind the scenes than Andy led on. [Reply]
If they’re trading him because of political BS... then it’s stupid. You only do it if he’s causing major headaches in the locker room or there’s contract disputes ahead. [Reply]

There are several reasons why they might trade him:
1. On field tirades
2. Suspension
3. Contract extension
4. Bad locker room influence
5. His value will never be higher than now.
6. Anthem [Reply]
There’s too much smoke there at this point for it to be all bs.
Oh well.
One things for sure, if they trade him and he goes on to stay in the clear and stays on this track his currently in playing wise, that’s not gonna be good [Reply]

Or it could be addition by subtraction.
It’s too difficult to predict without knowing the return. [Reply]
Peters is a playmaker and someone who can single handedly win you games. I would be fucking pissed if we traded him. He's obviously a bit of a headcase at times, but i tend to think he will mature a bit as he ages. He's still so young and really has potential still untapped. Unless you are getting a kings ransom I simply would not trade him. [Reply]

I think it has to go much deeper, as in Clark Hunt, Andy Reid and Brett Veach have come to the conclusion that they don’t feel comfortable giving Marcus Peters a 5 year, $90 million dollar deal. [Reply]

This is the most logical reasoning IMO. Clark said at the SB that he is obviously in talks with Andy and Brett about major signings and trades. There’s a good chance he doesn’t like the idea of giving him that money right now. [Reply]

If this actually goes down, theres no way its about politics
It would have everything to do with his general temperment... 'can we trust this guy going forward after giving him a mega-contract?' [Reply]
The Chiefs would be selling very low on Peters right now, giving up a year of cheap CB play and creating a new hole in a time when they have many.
Jason is wrong over 75% of the time and you fuckers believe he has a slant all of a sudden? Kinda like how Dorsey is favorite for GB GM job? :-) [Reply]
