Marcus Peters is still technically a member of the Chiefs - his trade to the Rams doesn't become official until March 14 - but isn't stopping him from talking a little trash about Kansas City's new starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes, while also defending its old starting quarterback Alex Smith.

Peters was asked about the Chiefs' QB situation during an appearance on NFL Network's Total Access, and he had some interesting things to say…

"I'm expecting turnovers and I'm expecting a win. … He know how to get me the ball. He know how to get me the ball."

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Mahomes threw Peters his fair share of interceptions during Chiefs practice.

When asked about the team trading Smith, Peters went all That's my quarterback on us…

"Alex don't get enough respect, and they need to start putting some respect on that man's name. I've done seen him get thrown under the bus too many times and he took it as a man and he never complained about it. He don't turn over the ball. And he know how to win. That was our fault [the defense] for messing up the playoffs on him. That was our fault."

Peters also denied the rumor that his issues with Chiefs head coach Andy Reid led to the trade…

"Man, Big Red? It's funny, man, because I'm sitting here, and it's been a crazy little week, you know? And I'm sitting here looking at everything and it's like, man, they're talking about me and Big Red had issues?

"Nope. Big Red can come check me like my pops can come check me, and I'll take it as thank you Big Red, because you know what? He was looking in the best interest of me to become a better player. They already knew that I had some so-called character issues off the field that happened at [Washington.] And they took me and all they told me was 'Come on, we're going to take it and we're going to grow together.' And we grew for these three years. It was cool. And sometimes it's just business. It's just business."

Peters and the Rams will take on his former team in Mexico City during the 2018 regular season.
