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 Cards gave up Rosen for a 2nd so the 49ers second should be enough for PP. Especially if he's making a stink about not getting the new deal he expected. And the way Veach has been doing contracts, I'd expect he'd give himself an out after 3 years of a 5 year new contract for PP. [Reply]
Plus regardless of what you think will happen with Hill (even I am leaning towards thinking he'll still be with the team) he ain't getting a giant contract this offseason.
Chiefs have money to burn and may as well spend it at the biggest need. [Reply]
I'm curious, it says 11 mil for 2019 and 12.05 for 2020. When I google cornerback contracts for NFL. Peterson is always coming up with 14 mil, ave, per year? What am I missing? [Reply]

Probably prorated signing bonus added. If he's traded AZ pays the remainder of the signing bonus. [Reply]
Can’t imagine PP would want to waste his final years of playing football watching the cardinals first round draft pick bust and the front office get turned over again [Reply]
Giving up a first in 2019 was acceptable because we knew the state of the draft and also because we were getting a great player who happened to be in the right age group.
We're not going to give away a first-round pick on a draft that we don't have any kind of read on, that's just not going to happen. We're not going to sit here and assume that it's going to be a loaded draft where first-round talent falls into the second round. We would be idiots to do so.
If the Cards are hell-bent on a first to make this deal happen, it won't be happening with the Kansas City Chiefs. [Reply]

You may be right that they won't do it, but that's exactly backwards of how teams usually value future picks. Traditionally a 2020 first right now is worth significantly less than a 2019 first would have been. [Reply]

I suppose that would make sense since you can't really assign any value to it at this point.
Other than the chart itself which means dick. [Reply]
