NSLU Presser: You Won’t Like It, One Bit

Quickly, the trade details have emerged for the Marcus Peters deal. The facts about it have emerged. Now I am tending to totally angry — and here I was “preaching patience”. I am angry like a fan. I am angry as at least a knowledgeable observer — this trade does nothing for the Chiefs except, apparently, get rid of a player who had become a major internal problem.

Ian Rapoport (the Rapsheet) gives what happened and this is not an advantageous trade by Veach and the Chiefs. Period. This means that the internal problems that were ongoing with Peters were the problem — Staff had enough. Coaches had enough. We probably will never know the internals. We saw symptoms on the field and heard about some off the field.

Peters is gone: According to Rapoport:

Per Ian Rapoport(RapSheet & NFL Media), what the Chiefs received in return from the Rams, is a fourth-round pick in 2018 and a second-round pick in 2019. The Rams select 124th overall in Round 4 of the 2018 draft.

Another source, ESPN’s Adam Schefter, states that the Chiefs are giving up their 2018 6th round pick to the Rams in the deal as well.

247Sports gives us a look at the Chiefs post-trade picks below:

• Round 2, pick 54 (own pick)
• Round 3, pick 78 (coming from Washington along with CB Kendall Fuller in exchange for Alex Smith)
• Round 3, pick 86 (own pick)
• Round 4, pick 122 (own pick)
• Round 4, pick 124 (coming from Los Angeles in exchange for Marcus Peters)
• Round 6, pick 196 (own pick)
• Round 6, pick 209 (compensatory pick)

According to Schefter, one of the 6th round picks go to the Rams.

The trade news hit the wire on Friday and caused an immediate stir. Seth Keyser, in a state of dis-belief, ended up pulling his hair. He is now bald.

David Bell – now a bit less professionally angry — more like a fan I would wager
