Chiefs headlines for Monday, May 13.
The latest
3. Cardinals trade Patrick Peterson to the Chiefs
Chiefs get: Patrick Peterson
Cardinals get: 2020 first-round pick
Patrick Peterson won’t come out and say it, but it kind of seems like he doesn’t want to play for the Cardinals anymore. Just to give you a little refresher on the Peterson situation: The Cardinals corner demanded a trade back in October, only to apologize for making that demand a few months later, but the situation didn’t end there, because now, it looks like he wants to be traded again. Peterson has removed the Cardinals name from all of his social media accounts and he’s spent the past month taking passive-aggressive shots at the team.
We can tell you SportsLine’s 2019 Fantasy Football rankings and cheat sheets are all over Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins. Drafters are sleeping on him all the way until the ninth round, but there’s plenty of reason to believe he’ll provide more value than his Fantasy football ADP indicates.
Boom or Bust Predictions for NFL Offseason’s Riskiest Moves | Bleacher Report
Boom: 49ers Trading for DE Dee Ford
In a career year, Ford recorded 13 sacks and seven forced fumbles in 16 starts for the Chiefs. He’s been highly productive as of late, recording 64 quarterback hits, 35 tackles for a loss and 29 sacks in his last 51 games.
Pairing the 28-year-old Ford with Bosa on the edge will give the 49ers one of the most talented pass-rushing duos in the entire league. Look for Ford to make an immediate impact for San Francisco in his first year with the team.

‘Madden 20’ Gameplay Features: Here’s What Worries Me About X-Factors And Zone Abilities | Forbes
There will be times when real-life Mahomes will scramble himself into the clear without a defensive player in dangerous proximity, and he’ll attempt to throw the ball across his body, and he won’t throw a pass correctly. There should never be a perk in any of these archetype concepts that ensure anything. Perhaps drastically increasing the possibility of success? That works, but nothing is perfect.

Kliff Kingsbury unsure whether Patrick Peterson will show for OTAs | NBC Sports Pro Football Talk
“I’m not sure about OTAs. Everything is voluntary,” Kingsbury said, via Darren Urban of the team’s website.
Last season Peterson said he wanted the Cardinals to trade him, but he later reversed course, apologized for the trade request and said he was committed to the team. This offseason, however, some cryptic social media activity by Peterson has been seen as an indication that he’s unhappy, and a report emerged that someone in the Cardinals’ front office had said something that angered Peterson.

At age 42, even a mediocre year would be unprecedented for Tom Brady | NBC Sports Pro Football Talk
Brady will turn 42 in August, and that really is an age at which no quarterback has ever had even a mediocre NFL season. George Blanda threw six touchdowns as a 43-year-old in 1970, and that’s the most touchdowns any quarterback has ever thrown in a season after turning 42.

”We’re going to do what (Cook) does best, we’re going to use those plays, but let’s see everything he can do. Let’s test him.”
