By now everyone knows that the Kansas City Chiefs have traded Marcus Peters to the Los Angeles Rams. As of the time I’m writing this, we haven’t heard what the Chiefs will get in return but I think we all agree it won’t seem like enough. So the question is why did the Chiefs trade a great player for less than his value with two reasonably priced years left on a contract?
In the time since the news broke, I think I’ve heard every reason possible for why Peters was traded. These reasons have ranged from reasonable and plausible to far-fetched and worthless.
