I can see both sides of this issue. The pro's for Peters are, he's still young. He is a ball hawk, and can flip a game for you. That is a rare commodity, so rare in fact, that if we did trade him I'd accept nothing less than a first rounder.
The cons are, he does not tackle in run support. He makes "business decisions." He is insubordinate and does not take coaching. He is irrationally emotional and has as great of an opportunity to flip a game negatively as positively because of his lack of maturity and restraint under adversity. He is also a potential locker room cancer, much like Larry Johnson was during his prime years here.
The only saving grace if they keep him is, Eric Berry has shown the ability to keep Peters focused and somewhat in check. When Berry has been out, Peters has been a loose cannon.
As I've said all year, The Peters Givith, The Peters Taketh Away. He's perhaps the most bi-polar player the Chiefs have had since Dale Carter.
