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.

If the Chiefs traded a young stud corner, and all they got back was a first rounder, which was their original investment, then the entire front office should be wiped out, again.
The run support stuff is so over the top. There are TONS of top corners over the years that didn't offer much in run support. They also didn't offer Peters ability to strip the ball.
Yes, he has bouts of immaturity on the field. However, I will trade that any day for the passion and the playmaking ability he has. He's a rare breed.
