    Shaun King Retweeted Terez A. Paylor

    It's a ridiculous trade, to be honest. Glad Marcus is getting the hell out of Kansas City. It's arguably the best cornerback in the league. I sincerely think they traded him because of his protests against police brutality. PERIOD.https://twitter.com/TerezPaylor/status/967105935419244544 …

    Already hearing some rumblings about some current Chiefs being upset about this potential Marcus Peters trade. Compensation will be interesting

        C’mon now Shaun, don’t jump to conclusions. I like you and am an avid follower but Peters did a lot more than just protest. He’s a lose cannon and the Chiefs were fed up with it. Not saying I support the trade, but don’t turn this into something it’s not...

        I’m born and raised in KC and still live here to this day and have been a Chiefs fan since Day 1. Peters wasn’t the only Chiefs player to protest, West, Conley, Houston all kneeled and are still on the Chiefs. If that was the case then they would all be gone.

        There’s much more to it than that Shaun... but I do think Chiefs fans yelling racist slurs at him (and likely filling his social media mentions) made him feel unwelcome not not willing to stay in KC long term. Just know that’s not ALL of KC fans that felt that way/hated him.

        I have to agree. I don’t blame @marcuspeters for wanting out. Some KC fans were disgusting in their treatment. Marcus, know that this KC fan will miss you. Good luck in your new gig.

        Okay shaun usually your takes are on point and accurate but this is just stupid, it’s called being a hot head and not wanting to pay him top tier money when he’s a free Agent plus they also just got a corner back not everything has to do with protesting

        Just had a source who has provided me good info in the past tell me Marcus Peters requested a trade after the Titans playoff loss. No, I'm not kidding.

        Let me know when they've traded the other KC Chiefs that have knelt for the national anthem.
