The thing people like King that are clueless about the NFL don’t understand is that:

1. OL play around the entire NFL is down.

2. The Chiefs won’t have much cap space even after restructures and extensions.

3. There aren’t many cheap options in free agency that can be a temporary fix at LT.

4. The likelihood of a day 1 LT being available at 31 is also very slim.

5. Peters, even at age 39, is a far better option than a Remmers or Erving at LT.

6. The rest of the OL should be much better than the SB and the Eagles last year.

If the Chiefs signed Peters, we’d all be hoping that Fisher would be ready week 1 and Peters becomes insurance. Hell, we’d also be hoping that Niang could beat him out if Fisher wasn’t ready.

Erving was a better tackle than Peters was the past two years. Even if we blame the system and QB it's not like Erving was playing with a great QB or system last year in dallas and he allowed 0 sacks in the 5 games he started. I think it's kind of funny how much you guys are understating how bad Peters was. 7.5 sacks, 5 sacks, 3 sacks. Whatever amount of sacks you want to assign him in 8 starts is terrible.
