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.

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.
So true. He’s the biggest fucking moron on this site. [Reply]
I'm trying to think. Have you ever posted anything that I thought was worth reading? No. I don't think that you have. You can join the ignore list too. And........just like that, I still won't have to see his crap. [Reply]

I don't know about you, but I would prefer to keep doing what veach has been doing in regards to bringing these types of players in. We want the guys that are coming up on their extensions who still have a good six to eight years of productivity left, not somebody over 30 or approaching that age who may or may not have another half decade of play left.
I would love to have Peterson on this team, but that asking price gets a big and resounding "piss off"! [Reply]
We're not getting anyone at the bottom of the 1st round even remotely close to Pat Pete in terms of helping us win a Super Bowl(s) while Mahomes is on his rookie deal.
Give them the 1st, win 2 rings, then let the chips fall where they may. [Reply]
Do teams really trade first round picks for corners that old? Is that really a thing? I know veach is kind of stupid, but I doubt he’s that stupid. [Reply]

Meh, Talib is still elite.
If it finally gets us over the top then I don't really care what they give up.
This team will be the best in the NFL by far for the next 2 seasons. [Reply]
