Chiefs fans don’t want to hear any talk about a possible Marcus Peters trade
The chatter began Sunday when Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk wrote that some in the NFL wonder if the Chiefs might trade cornerback Marcus Peters.
On Monday night, Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com tweeted: “Continue to hear chatter that Marcus Peters may not be long for KC. Figure that intensifies next week at the combine”
Peters, 25, has been sensational in his three seasons with the Chiefs, collecting 19 interceptions, forcing five fumbles and generally not being thrown at much in games.
That’s why Chiefs fans are either not buying the speculation about trade talks or they flat-out don’t want it to happen.
An Arrowhead Pride poll showed nearly three-quarters of Chiefs fans don’t want the team to deal Peters.
Here is what they are saying:
If the Chiefs trade @marcuspeters!!! It will be a bad time

If we actually trade Marcus Peters i may literally have a break down and my trust in Veach will be destroyed beyond repair. I'll be calling for his head. Trading Peters shouldn't even be getting discussed.

If everyone on the Chiefs played as well as Peters did against the Titans, the Chiefs would've won by 60. Anything can happen, but this guy is part of the solution as things stand, not part of the problem. pic.twitter.com/urPEElfPz3

Until someone can offer me one, just one good football reason to trade Marcus Peters then I'm not listening to the rubbish.

If the @Chiefs traded Marcus Peters this offseason it would be an incredible example of incompetence by this organization...

If the Chiefs are planning to trade Marcus Peters, they better get a king's ransom for him. That's all I'm saying.

If we trade @marcuspeters I really would be upset. This my top 5 favorite player

There is no reason I’d consider trading Peters this season a good thing, he is the most talented player in the D and probably the team, he deserves the $ and we need to give it to him, I don’t want to watch him kick our ass in another uniform for a decade

Meanwhile, fans of other teams would love to see Peters play:
The Falcons should trade for Marcus Peters

Marcus Peters rumored to be on the trading block. Would be an amazing move by Minnesota if they could snag him #NFL #Skol #Vikings
