gballs 3 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Pastoors: They were very straightforward in what their compensation should be. It really wasn’t too far off from what we viewed. Sounds like Veach asked for diddly and got diddly for Peters. Why not as for at least a 1st?

DieHard 2,061 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Pastoors: And so I think one of the biggest things we all thought with any offseason move we were considering was, ‘Don’t mess that up. We got a good thing going. Let’s continue to add to it and supplement but let’s not mess that up.’ Answer? Sign Peters, Talib, Suh and Cooks. I guess all they were missing were malcontents and head cases. Good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,781 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Local sports radio said where I live: they are playing for a Super Bowl now. In a couple of years, all these guys will be gone if they have to pay Goff the going rate. Best case scenario they are the Seahawks for three years. Worst case scenario, they are the “dream team” Eagles or overpaid bad Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gballs 3 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Crap or not, it still irks me. Giving up an elite talent for pennies on the dollar; I'm sure there's more to it than we'll ever know. I'm not saying this is a apples for apples, but the return on Khalil Mack makes you question this even more. However, that article is new so it got posted.

Please don't say you consider Peters to have the same value as Mack. Mack is a high character, high motor player that affects nearly every play. Peters made some game changing plays and also screwed up on a number of plays, never consistent. The Chiefs weren't going to sigh him after this season and they're pointing to 2019 and beyond. Forget Peters, he wasn't going to be here for a deep playoff run in any circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dksww 484 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 at the time of the trade there were only 2 teams interested; the Rams and 49ers and neither team was willing to give up a 1st round pick for a player with known character issues. Benjamin Albright on Twitter said it best at the time of the trade: "If Marcus Peters could've gotten more in a trade, then he would have". Teams just were not interested due to previous character issues at Washington and from what they saw out of him in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 You forgot punting the ball into the stands on multiple occasions after we got scored on. Initially missing tackles. Oh and fighting with fans. The guy melted down and would have imploded without a change in scenery. Plus, who cares what people think about it. Old, old, old news.

moons314 2,463 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The chiefs got better just by moving Peters. It would be a win even if nothing we got in return amounted to shit.

A 2nd and 4th for a malcontented player who was trying to get kicked off the team so he could whine his way back to california is better than should be expected. If they weren't too far off from what veach was asking for how do you know he didn't start with a 1st or 2 seconds? A 1st and 4th isn't too far off of either of those.

DieHard 2,061 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I think it is worthy of note that the first Raiders game with Peters, Carr put up 417 yards and 31 points 0 picks and we lost. with Peters suspended for the second game, he put up 211 yards and 15 points 2 picks and we won. In fact, we played our best defensive game of the year in my opinion. Not saying that was all because of Peters being suspended, but they seemed to play harder across the board.

Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Peters was a malcontent always stirring the pot on the field and off the field with coaches, plus he wasn't going to stay here. Mack has had nothing but positive things said about his play, work ethic, leadership, and as a person in general. Is what it is, but the two strike me as an apples to oranges type comparison.

As much as I didn't care for the kneeling bullshit, that wasn't my issue with Peters. The day the camera panned to him screaming at coaches on the sidelines during the game and being restrained by teammates, I knew his time was going to be short. I get the emotion and the heat of battle stuff, but as a man, you take that shit up with the coach after the game when the cameras aren't on. You don't draw negative attention to the team and franchise by having the cameras catch you screaming at a coach as if you want to beat him with your helmet.

I wasn’t worried about nothing else. Bottom line, he did not want to be in KC and we got what value we could for him, Veach did what clark hunt told him to do Let it go and lets concentrate on the players who are here now wearing red & gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why the Chiefs traded Marcus Peters. My wife and I were on our honeymoon in Thailand during the weeks of the BUF and Jets game. Once I saw the replay of him throwing the flag into the stands I knew the Chiefs would trade him off in the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
