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.

the point is, we need more options and we've got plenty of time between now and mid-season to check them out. getting tunnel vision on one player in particular in a situation that could end up being a bad deal for the Chiefs is not good management.
and the fact that everything has gone dead quiet on that front for now is a good sign as far as I'm concerned.
Looking at all the options is a good thing, i'm sure the team is. Even if chiefsplanet isn't.
Who cares what someone has said? Don't be a parrot, have some pride and know what you're saying. Especially when you're telling people "these are the facts" (like brady didn't complete a pass before being injured by pollard... :-)) [Reply]
Patrick Peterson on why he's rumored to be traded to the Chiefs every 6 minutes: "I don't know. I don't. I laugh at that stuff. People always want to speculate what's going on, especially when I take down my pictures and the messages. But that had nothing to do with anything."

"Let me rephrase that question: WHY HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY FOR KC AND ARE NOW PUSHING YOUR WAY OUT OF PHX IN ORDER TO JOIN THE CHIEFS?" [Reply]

Off you go now!
I never left clown. Just because I haven’t posted non stop doesn’t mean I left. But it’s good to see I’m still living rent free in that air head of yours.
