Chiefs If you could sign Marcus Peters tomorrow.. - Page 7

to a 5-year $90M contract, would you want the Chiefs to do it?

I bring this up because it is an incredibly tough choice the Chiefs are having to ponder now. The highest paid corner in the league, Josh Norman, makes $15M per year. I am only estimating, but I would bet that extending Peters will take roughly $18M per year.

I think I would actually do it if I was Veach, and here is why. The sooner we can get it out of the way, the better. We're just buying back prime years. If they extend him now for 5 seasons, he will be 30 years old during the last season of the contract, his 9th NFL season.

Despite the occasional on-field antics, this kid has forced 25 turnovers (19 INTs, 6 FFs) in his first three regular seasons (46 games). TWENTY-FIVE. Absolutely incredible. Good for a turnover more than every other game. He's also had 2 INTs in his 4 playoff games.

I thought after the Jets game, when all hell had broke loose, that we should trade him. But, it seems like his teammates love him, so I don't think he is a 'cancer' by any means. Just very competitive.

Thoughts?

Corner isn't a position you should give long term deals to. QB, LT, and pass rusher are the ones to give the long term deals to.

Let him play out his rookie deal, franchise him and then let somebody else pay for his years past age 28/29. That's smart from a football and financial side.

You extend great players. Doesn't matter where they play.

Works every time.

If the kid acted like DJ, there wouldn't even be a debate. Sometimes, younger guys take a while to mature, much less grow in to the community that has drafted them.
As much as some of you would like to "fast track him to respectability", not every peg is going to fit in to your over-sized hole.

Meh, that's why we wait to pay him. No need to rush into a large/long contract with the NFL's version of an emotional pubescent teenage girl.

In this case I disagree. You swoop in early, take all options off the table, and lock his ass DOWN.

The color of the uniform? The beard?

I'll say it again: For $18 million you could pay for Stephon Gilmore AND Casey Hayward. Let that sink in for a moment.

A defensive secondary well above average on both sides > Having a porous defense on half the field

That and the fact that Peters is a far more impactfully great player. ?

If Casey Hayward was on the market today (which he won't be until next offseason), he's getting $15M per year.

Peter's defense didn't impact the Tits scoring in the second half, so evidently it's not too meaningful. Perhaps a 1/10th of a step back in his corner and huge upgrades to a pass rush might be a better solution to what ails the defense.
