Rams players react to Marcus Peters being traded to Ravens

One day after it was announced that Aqib Talib would be put on injured reserve, the Los Angeles Rams struck a deal with the Ravens involving Marcus Peters. They sent the young cornerback to Baltimore in exchange for linebacker Kenny Young and a fifth-round pick in 2020.

The move stunned everyone on Twitter, including players on the Rams’ roster. With Talib out at least eight weeks, no one expected Les Snead to ship Peters out of town.

Here’s how Rams players reacted to the move, beginning with Johnny Hekker’s kind message for Peters.

I can’t say enough good things about @marcuspeters and the man, teammate, and community member he is. I wish him nothing but the best moving forward.

In addition to trading Peters to the Ravens, the Rams also sent Cleveland a fifth-round pick in 2021 for center Austin Corbett. He adds some depth to the interior offensive line, which has been a huge trouble spot this season.
