3.Cardinals trade Patrick Peterson to the Chiefs
Chiefs get: Patrick Peterson
Cardinals get: 2020 first-round pick
Patrick Peterson won't come out and say it, but it kind of seems like he doesn't want to play for the Cardinals anymore. Just to give you a little refresher on the Peterson situation: The Cardinals corner demanded a trade back in October, only to apologize for making that demand a few months later, but the situation didn't end there, because now, it looks like he wants to be traded again. Peterson has removed the Cardinals name from all of his social media accounts and he's spent the past month taking passive-aggressive shots at the team. If you've ever watched literally any reality show involving a Millennial, those are usually the first two signs that a breakup is coming.
Peterson even posted a photo of some of his former teammates who are no longer with him in Arizona, and that photo had an interesting caption, "My boys told me to watch out for the snakes in the long grass!"
With a new Cardinals coaching staff now in place, it would make since for them to start fresh with players who actually want to be in Arizona. Clearly, Peterson isn't one of those players.
If the Cards start to shop Peterson, every team in the NFL should call them with an offer. Not only is he a three-time All-Pro corner, but he's also under contract for the next two seasons at the very reasonable rates of $11 million (2019) and $12.05 million (2020).
Although Peterson could get dealt anywhere, we're sending him to the Chiefs and that's because Kansas City has been doing everything possible to beef up a defensive unit that couldn't stop anyone while ranking 31st overall in the NFL last season. After watching his defense choke away the AFC title game, Andy Reid is clearly trying to make sure that doesn't happen again.
Not only have the Chiefs already traded for Frank Clark and Emmanuel Ogbah, but they've also signed Tyrann Mathieu, Alex Okafor and Damien Wilson. If the Chiefs were to add Peterson to the mix, the defense would be nearly as scary as their offense. Also, based on Peterson's Instagram picture, it seems Peterson would probably be pretty excited about the chance to reunite with Mathieu.

A lockdown corner like PP immediately makes this defense top 10, maybe top 5.
Absolutely this. I personally don't think AZ is going to trade him, not after all the good attention they garnered from their draft, but if they do...Veach should, and probably would, move in. [Reply]

If they had PP and Hill still around, they’d be almost inarguably the most talented team in the league. That’s gotta count for something.
The draft pick has value yeah but this would be a unique opportunity to acquire one of the best corners in football, an extremely valuable position. He’s also a great leader. [Reply]
You gotta think about the impact of a player like this. He makes everyone else’s job easier on defense. You can do different things schematically, whether it be letting him shut down the opposing #2 WR or having him cover the #1 with less safety help than most corners would need. [Reply]
So, since I have dumbass Carcosa blocked I can't read what was in the OP. I went to CBSSports.com and found an article called 7 trades that make sense. I assume that's the right article? If it is, then I found some interesting things in there. Mainly that he had 2 years left on his contract at $11 and $12 million. Now, I'm guessing that he would want a new contract as part of the trade. Should the Chiefs give him a new contract right away if they make the trade? I mean, nothing has been said about why he wants out of Arizona. But I'm guessing money because of his snakes in the grass comment. That makes me think that he was promised a rework on his deal and the Cards changed their minds. I don't know. Is there anything out there to support that idea? [Reply]

That’s where things get tricky. I don’t really love the idea of a big extension.
Sell him on winning a Super Bowl, and if it doesn’t work, so be it. [Reply]
Why do people respond to okchiefs? Dude just bitches to bitch. That’s every single post he makes.
He’s been bitching about this team not trying to get a good corner for several months and now that a report comes out about doing that, he still bitches. [Reply]
