If they're giving up that much for him, I'm sure that a huge new contract is also coming for Peters. 

 

Has the compensation from the Rams been revealed? I think the only thing that has come out so far has been that the Rams aren't giving up pick number 23.

Dont we own their 2nd rounder? Maybe they gave up a 2nd rounder next year. Interested to see what they gave up to get him

My bet is a 3rd this year and a 4th next year.

I was reading on the Chiefs site that it's being speculated at a 1st and 5th.  Also, after the Alex Smith trade the league office supposedly gave KC a warning about trades being leaked. Possible draft pick punishment if it happens again. 

 

It's mostly speculating on their part but that's what they say they are hearing.

Lmao, a 1st? Man, they sound like Bills' fans valuing TT.

I can’t see them giving up a 1st. I mean they were basically bidding against themselves. And sounds like the Chiefs were determined to move him. Reminds me of the Dareus trade a bit.

Yeah, only way they gave up a first is if the Chiefs gave them Peters and a pick. Sounds like a 3rd and maybe a pick next year, too.

Which is pretty damning since Andy Reid has happily coached a lot of knuckleheads in his career 

This is the most disappointing part of all this....Reid is supposed to be able to handle this kind of player and get the value out of him.

Chiefs are in rebuild mode with a RS rookie qb and will be moving on from guys like tamba hali, Derrick Johnson and Justin Houston 

The Chiefs are NOT in rebuild mode.  They are in fix the defense mode.  Offense is locked and loaded.  The players that have been let go, aside from Peters, were old very costly vets that played very little as it was, and didn't contribute to a bad defense.  Eric Berry back from injury, Amerson and Fuller added to bad secondary.....and Ragland expected to step up and be leader in the middle.

 

....I would not have thought they would make this trade.  From a purely football perspective, Peters will cost you from time to time with dumb fouls...but he is a turnover machine..teams don't throw his way much at all.  A true shutdown corner.  And on his cheap rookie deal.  3 million this year, 9 million next year....could franchise tag a third year at about 15 or so probalby...still a bargain for a CB of his caliber.  

 

Given the LOW interest generated for him, he must be an awful nightmare in the locker room...he has NOT been a problem in the community at all.  The Chiefs must be thinking this is "addition by subtraction" ....again from a football perspective, it makes no sense....gotta be a purely locker room/coaching issue driven move.  Compensation still not announced, but we are expecting to be underwhelmed and hugely dissappointed in the return.  In my opinion, you keep Peters and deal with him...he is worth more ON the team with his cheap contract, then not on with with the team getting a middling pick or 2. (BARF!)  

 

The last  bit about moving on from Houston seems interesting...no talk of it...but given that they have traded Peters...anything is possible I guess.  I'd venture to guess he stays as his contract is a nightmare to trade away and his dead money is too painful for the team to cut him.

A 2nd and a 4th isn't too bad I guess. I don't know how the Rams expect to pay everyone and they are going to have zero depth for a few years. It's an okay deal assuming Peters isn't still a head case in LA. Feels like a bad deal for both sides honestly.

Lol what??? A 2nd next year is equivalent to a 3rd this year. So basically a 3rd and a 4th for one of the best corners in the NFL. That's a steal!!!!
