SAN DIEGO (4-4) AT INDIANAPOLIS (5-3) But he didn't just match it. "What I did do was let them sit for a week, let them be charged to their (salary) cap $2.25 million," Peterson said.

"I feit looking at the sheet there were a number of improprieties in how they had it worded and structured. I was very surprised at it, and felt without question I was going to match it. And when I did, I would take exception to a number of clauses and take it to arbitration." While matching the offer, the Chiefs challenged some of the principal terms. One said Carter could get out of the contract after one year based on playing 50 percent of his team's defensive plays. Another would have prohibited the Chiefs from making Carter a transition or franchise player.

Carter filed a grievance with the NFL Players Association. But minutes before the hearing, he signed a three- year deal. "Playing with my brother would have been great," he says now. "But I'm happy in Kansas City. I think we have a chance to do something special here.

I'm glad I'm here and I'm glad the fans have accepted me back." "We got the deal we wanted," Peterson said. "I personally felt that for him to leave Kansas City would not be good for him on a personal basis. He's invested a lot of time in this club. And we've invested a lot in Dale.
