Chiefs Kingdom is seeing red as team plans to trade Marcus Peters
Does this still qualify as a Friday afternoon news dump?
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Friday that the Chiefs are expected to trade two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Peters to the Los Angeles Rams.
The news comes less than a week after Pro Football Talk reported that people around the NFL wondered if the Chiefs would be open to trading Peters.
The answer is yes.
While a smattering of fans were happy to see the Chiefs part ways with Peters, most greeted the news with anger.
