Chiefs GM resigns after 2-12 season

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City Chiefs general manager and president Carl Peterson has resigned.

Owner Clark Hunt confirmed the resignation Monday.

Peterson took over in 1989 as president, general manager and chief executive officer. Peterson and then-head coach Marty Schottenheimer built the Chiefs into an NFL powerhouse the next 10 years.

However, Kansas City faltered the past decade and seemed to hit an emotional bottom with a 22-21 loss Sunday to San Diego, which left the Chiefs 2-12.

Hunt said he would speak with reporters later in the day.
