Marcus Peters appeared to taunt Jalen Ramsey after intercepting Jared Goff

Savage.

Marcus Peters was in the business of reminding the Los Angeles Rams of their mistakes on Monday Night Football.

The current Baltimore Ravens and former Rams cornerback seemed to spend a fair amount of time talking trash on the sideline, with a particular focus on cornerback Jalen Ramsey. After Peters logged a fourth-quarter interception, the ESPN broadcast cut to the Ravens cornerback, who seemed to be yelling for Ramsey’s attention. Peters then stuck out his tongue to taunt Ramsey.

Ramsey essentially replaced Peters in L.A. The Rams traded away Peters for linebacker Kenny Young and an undisclosed 2020 NFL draft pick on the same day that they sent two first-round picks to Jacksonville for Ramsey. That trade seemed like a bizarre exchange of assets. And even though it’s just one play, Peters’ interception further reinforced the skepticism surrounding the transactions.

They also seemed to have a few words with one another after the game. Teammates and coaches began to separate them. But they weren’t done. They met back up in the tunnel, and again had to get separated with multiple Rams staffers forcing Ramsey back to the locker room.

Peters was yelling about the Ravens “kicking the Rams’ (expletive) out of the playoffs,” according to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec.

A few folks on Twitter figured the play was coming. Peters, after all, logged an interception against the Chiefs, another one of Peters’ former teams, after the Rams traded for him in 2018.

But, of course, fans were quick to criticize the Rams, who seem to be on the losing end of those trades as they slip to 6-5 on the season. The NFC West is tremendously competitive with the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks set to take two playoffs spots. The Rams look like they could miss the postseason, which only increases the value of the first-round draft pick that they sent to the Jaguars for Ramsey.

So while the Ravens enjoy Peters’ strong play and relatively small contract, the Rams have to begin to worry about whether they have issues negotiating a new contract with Ramsey, who may be less inclined to sign an extension with L.A. after seeing first-hand how many issues they have.

The biggest issue may be Jared Goff’s four-year, $134 million contract. He threw the pick to Peters, after all.
