AFC Rumors: Chiefs, Colts, Dolphins

February 21, 2018

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports is hearing from NFL teams that the Chiefs haven’t made an attempt to trade CB Marcus Peters as of now.
However, other teams anticipate his name coming up next week at the Combine.
La Canfora hears that Chiefs owner Clark Hunt has some with Peters’ actions last season along with his behavior during games.
According to La Canfora, there will certainly be interested teams in Peters if he ends up being available.
La Canfora wonders if the Seahawks could be a fit for Peters, given that he played at Washington and they’re looking to reshape their defense.

Mike Chappell of CBS 4 doesn’t expect the Colts to re-sign free agent RB Frank Gore this offseason and suggests the Dolphins as a potential landing spot.
Chappell puts the odds of WR Donte Moncrief being back in Indianapolis next season at “50-50.“
If it were up to Chappell, he would re-sign G Jack Mewhort, given that it’s a “no risk, high reward” move.
Chappell makes a good point regarding CB Rashaan Melvin in that this could be his last opportunity to cash in and the Colts may not be willing to overpay to keep him.

While the Dolphins announced Tuesday that they’ve franchised WR Jarvis Landry, there has been some recent buzz that Miami could still make him available for trade. (NFLTR)
Jason La Canfora reports that there are “plenty” of people around the league who believe the Dolphins will be “very open” to trading Landry, despite franchising him.
La Canfora says that the odds of Miami getting a long-term deal done in the next few weeks are “bleak.”
According to La Canfora, executives around the NFL are surprised that Miami would allocate so much of their cap space to tagging Landry.
La Canfora points out that it’s going to make more than the third-round compensatory pick Miami would likely receive for Landry if they allowed him to depart in free agency to complete a trade. Beyond that, a team will have to sign Landry to a long-term extension and meet his asking price.
La Canfora believes the Dolphins may end up renting Landry for the 2018 season and then letting him walk next year.
