The best defensive playmaker on the market finally found his new team. From Florida to Cali.. not a bad life for the “Best trash talker in the NFL.”
LAs power moves today were all linked to the biggest defensive playmaker on the market. The Rams (3-3) needed a boost and couldn’t have found a bigger one than the 2x Pro Bowler. Peters departure & Talib’s injury negates the positives Ramsey brings in ’19 but the future is bright pic.twitter.com/6PXr7WK6Kf

The Cole Train isn’t slowing down for anyone, even one of the greatest offenses of all-time in one of the most hitter-friendly stadiums. It should be noted that if Didi Gregorius’s warning track pop fly had a few more feet on it, this narrative (and series) may be completely different.
Since May 22, @GerritCole45 has been nearly untouchable.
In that span he’s gone 19-1 with a 1.86 ERA and 265 Ks. 😨 pic.twitter.com/nUxwJ640da

A former All-Pro CB being traded in his prime during a contract year would typically generate ALL the headlines, but Marcus Peters wasn’t even the best CB traded on Tuesday. Still, don’t let this move go unnoticed. Peters still has as much talent as any corner in the league. If he can refrain from jumping double moves and go back to preventing deep TDs like he did in KC, he can once again become an All-Pro caliber player with all of the turnovers he creates.
Marcus Peters has played at a Pro Bowl level his entire career besides his 1st season in LA last year. He’s back to his top-tier level of play this year in a contract year. BAL can tag Peters & give up Young who’s a replacement LB & a pick that will be the key to this deal pic.twitter.com/pgGX0NgzuU
