My favorite teams
Matt Nagy ties but I'm not sure if I want him on the Bears he seems like the CB version of BMarsh.

Why trading Marcus Peters makes all the sense
I want to make it very clear here that I like Marcus Peters, a lot. I like what he’s done for the Kansas City and Oakland communities, I like the passion he brings to the game, and if I were the Chiefs, I would favor keeping him. He’s too much of a unicorn to let go.
For the sake of this article, however, let’s explore why I believe the Chiefs could make a case for trading him.
The first, indisputable argument is that Marcus Peters loses his cool way too often on the football field. Officially, Peters has four career unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, in addition to one taunting call. If you watch the Chiefs every week either at Arrowhead Stadium or on television, we all know it could be much worse than that.
We’ve seen Peters scream obscenities at fans in the stands, referees and opponents alike.
This season, we saw the worst of Peters’ actions as a professional when he threw a referee’s flag into the stands after a defensive holding call he did not agree with. The referees only gave Peters an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, but he jogged off the field, only to return (now infamously) without his socks.
It was later reported that Peters got into an argument with a Chiefs coach on the way to the airport, and after that, head coach Andy Reid had seen enough.
The NFL only fined Peters for the in-game incident, but Reid gave him a one-game suspension.
