I absolutely did NOT say that. I questioned because of the fact they are an 0 and 16 team, if it would be smart to trade away draft capital for a player who likely wont be there by the time they get good. Go back and reread my post if you like. When someone uses a question mark, they are not declaring anything. You are absolutely wrong about me saying because they are the Browns, they wouldnt be interested.
It was a question, and a very legitimate one. You call my question a horrible reach, yet you making a definitive claim based on nothing other than speculation is acceptable?
Why wouldn't he be there in three yrs? They have money, 5th yr option, plus tags... technically they could control his rights for 4 more yrs (two tags)
Sorry if I misunderstood your comment but that's how I read it..my bad.
Imo Every single team in the league could use a player to the caliber of peters and the fact no other team even made a play is kinda crazy...if you don't feel like it's a red flag on him that's fine
Funny thing is, I have been arguing with people for weeks saying this exact reason is the reason the Chiefs shouldnt trade him. There have been plenty of articles/tweets talking about "if Peters wont re-sign long term, trade him for what you can get" line of reasoning. Again, who cares if he isnt gonna sign long term. The Chiefs had him under control for the next 4 years if they chose to use tags.
4 years of Peters > what that 2nd round pick turns out to be IMO
You seem to be overly focused on the other teams. All those other teams are in need of cornerbacks? All of those teams feel that Peters is a piece missing from being a contender? All of those other teams could afford what would essentially be a 4/$45M contract? All of those teams think trading draft capital for a players like Peters is better for the team that keeping the draft capital and trying to sign a top FA CB like Kyle Fuller? All of those teams even knew that Peters was available for trade?
There are countless reasons a team wouldnt want to trade for Peters. You claiming its some sort of red flag is no different than me claiming it isnt. I would in fact argue that you claiming its a red flag is even more of a reach than me saying it isnt, as you have absolutely no idea the reasoning that teams didnt throw out an offer. Your point of view is assumption on assumption on assumption.
