Chiefs fans got their hopes up Tuesday morning, only to have them dashed a short while later.
On social media, there was talk that Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson’s days in Arizona were numbered.
Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Bryant then tweeted that Peterson was going to be traded to the Chiefs.
This would have been big if it were true, right? However, The Star’s Brooke Pryor reported that the Chiefs have had no trade discussions with the Cardinals. Zero. Zip. Nada.
Bryant has since deleted the tweet and a mea culpa that acknowledged he was wrong, but here is a screenshot:
And thus ended an exciting morning for Chiefs fans, who thought Peterson would be reunited with Tyrann Mathieu.
