Quickly, the trade details have emerged for the Marcus Peters deal. The facts about it have emerged. Now I am tending to totally angry — and here I was “preaching patience”. I am angry like a fan. I am angry as at least a knowledgeable observer — this trade does nothing for the Chiefs except, apparently, get rid of a player who had become a major internal problem.
Ian Rapoport (the Rapsheet) gives what happened and this is not an advantageous trade by Veach and the Chiefs. Period. This means that the internal problems that were ongoing with Peters were the problem — Staff had enough. Coaches had enough. We probably will never know the internals. We saw symptoms on the field and heard about some off the field.
Peters is gone: According to Rapoport:
Per Ian Rapoport(RapSheet & NFL Media), what the Chiefs received in return from the Rams, is a fourth-round pick in 2018 and a second-round pick in 2019. The Rams select 124th overall in Round 4 of the 2018 draft.
The #Chiefs traded CB Marcus Peters to the #Rams for a 2018 fourth round pick and a 2019 2nd round pick, sources say. The deal can’t be official until the league year begins.

Another source, ESPN’s Adam Schefter, states that the Chiefs are giving up their 2018 6th round pick to the Rams in the deal as well.

The trade news hit the wire on Friday and caused an immediate stir. Seth Keyser, in a state of dis-belief, ended up pulling his hair. He is now bald.
David Bell – now a bit less professionally angry — more like a fan I would wager
