    By all accounts I’ve seen, no one was terribly interested, despite the asking price being low, a year left on his rookie contract, and as a 1st rounder, being eligible for a 5th year option! The Colts weren’t interested, and the guy who drafted him is there now.

      Thought @SI_PeterKing's column on Peters was interesting. 28 of 31 teams were a "hard no" on him. I don't know enough about the kid but the #KCChiefs basically giving away a shutdown corner in his prime can't be a great statement about him, can it?

      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        "[Peters'] protests during the national anthem didn’t help—at various points he raised his fist, sat on the bench and stayed in the locker room—but weren’t the driving force behind a trade."
        That's a false statement.

        Read King's article, and tell me what monstrous deed or deeds did Peters commit on or off the field that made him the Antichrist.

        So he threw a flag into the stand. Big fucking deal. NFL refs are incompetent. So he pulled a Damarious Randall on the sideline. Big fucking deal. Randall returned from his incident a better player.

        Lets not be ignorant: The reason the Chiefs are getting rid of Peters and the reason 28 other teams said fuck no to Peters is b/c he protested.

        NFL owners would rather hire domestic abusers, rapists, PED-cheaters, racists, bigots, gun-loving ruffians, drunk drivers, among others, than players who peacefully protest social injustice and pig (Five-0) misconducts inside publicly funded stadiums.

        That's fucked up.

                For a shutdown corner on the cheap, he could give the flag the finger during the anthem for all I care. However the article gives the sense that there is more too it. Outbursts on the field can't be tolerated, though. You get the sense from reading that article that there is a lot more going on, and the Chiefs decided they couldn't trust him or count on him. That would be a legit reason for passing.

                  he's a young maturing player. no where near his prime. he'll settle down as time goes on. the Rams recognized this. they're clearly in win-now mode. i think Pettine could reel him in. lol

                    Peters can't tackle and doesn't even attempt to try half the time. Happy he plays for someone else.

                      tackling just gets you hurt. just ask King. you can't take away the other teams best guy and get ints if you're hurt.

                          Now some veteran trimming is probably wise. But even in this day of ever increasing cap numbers, you can still go too far. Poor Bretsky favorite Brooks Reed might have to change teams again.

                              Top 101 FAs. Kyle Fuller anyone?

                              Gregg Rosenthal and Chris Wesseling have combined their personal rankings to formulate NFL.com's Top 101 Free Agents of 2018. How does everyone stack up? Who's taken? Who's still available?



                              Cardinals might not pick up Honey Badgers' option.

                              Has Tyrann Mathieu played his last game for the Cardinals? Gregg Rosenthal says Steve Keim's news conference at the NFL Scouting Combine was telling. Plus, other potential comings and goings around the NFL.
                              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
