Adam Schefter of NFL.com is reporting, maybe speculating is a better word, that former Kansas City Chief President Carl Peterson could reteam with his close friend and new Miami Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross.
It’s also being reported on several local news sites as well. In fact, one of those points out that Peterson was at the Dolphins/Ravens game on Sunday, on the sideline, wearing a Dolphins pin on his lapel, and referring to the Phins as “we”. Not a good sign at all.
The Dolphins finally appear headed in the right direction but that apparently could be changing. Peterson was applauded when he finally turned his resignation into the Chiefs…not for the work he had done, but for actually leaving.
Here is what Adam Schefter had to say, and let me just say….I truly hope that King Carl comes nowhere near Miami.
The Kansas City Chiefs are throwing a grand going-away party for general manager Carl Peterson on Tuesday. Those who attempt to figure out where he will surface next need to look to the Stars.
The last owner of the USFL’s Baltimore/Philadelphia Stars franchise, for which Peterson was the president and GM, was Stephen M. Ross.
The same Stephen M. Ross who’s about to become the Miami Dolphins’ new owner.
Since the time they worked together in Philadelphia, Ross and Peterson have remained close. Their relationship dates well over 20 years. Peterson led the Stars to a 48-13-1 record and was twice selected as the USFL Executive of the Year.
Some in the Chiefs’ organization have maintained all along that Ross would provide Peterson with his golden parachute out of Kansas City, with Peterson not the type of individual to simply walk away from the game.
Multiple league sources believe that one day, possibly sooner rather than later, Ross will hire Peterson to help run his Dolphins franchise. What makes this scenario so intriguing is the recent word that Bill Parcells has a clause in his contract that would allow him to walk away from Miami, with salary, if the franchise changed hands from Wayne Huizinga, as it’s about to do.
If Parcells goes, Peterson is the logical successor. Even if Parcells stays, Ross might want to bring aboard Peterson anyway, which could create a lot of cooks in the kitchen.
Parcells got away from the drama in Dallas. But he could face more in Miami.

When you finally get something that is working right you don’t change it or mess with it! I just hope Ross is not another stupid owner. It took Wayne about nine years to finally get it right and now we have Ross coming in an wanting changes to something that is finally working and headed the right direction. I have been a Dolphins fan since 1970 thru the good years and the bad years but if Ross comes in and messes it up with Peterson and his poor decisions I think I will quit being a Dolphins fan as I don’t want to put up with the lack of hope because of an owner being stupid and giving his friend a job that will destroy the sucess that has finally been achieved again but still is not finished.
The feeling i get is that Ross does not want Parcell’s and the best way to get rid of him is to bring in peterson. What gets me is why does he want to destroy his investment with the Dolphins!
I get that same feeling and it is making me sick. Ross is going to screw all this up.
It doesn’t look very good at this point. I cannot believe this idiot is going to f this up! FINALLY! FINALLY after all these embarassing seasons, we get someone that knows what he is doing in the Tuna and Ross is going to run him out of town. What an A-hole!
If Ross does this to Parcells, I am right there with you Mad dog. I am done with this team!
I am so glad Carl is out of KC! I must say though that I think Carl will be great in Miami. Carl knows what he is doing, he just needs a fresh start. I understand you concerns Dolphin fans, but Carl will do alright for you. He spent 20 years at KC, you can’t expect someone that has spent 20 years at the same job to do good, he was burnt put. Carl will be a great GM again!
I hope this is a joke this is a bussiness here and i hope your here to make money keep Bill cause he helps to pay the bills don’t be an a whip the fans deserve to see some more winnig seasons.
Looks to only be on the business side of things

I really hope he isn’t even close to being considered for any football position, I wouldn’t mind him being on the business side, I guess… Seeing what he did with the Chiefs fan base.
Carl: I will only say this…I would rather have Jeff Ireland as the GM than Scott Pioli so you know how my opinion would translate to Petereson.
