In the days that have followed the announcement of the agreed upon trade of All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Los Angeles Rams, there haven't been many details to emerge from the move. It had remained much in anonymity to fully ensure that the move would go through.

There had been much speculation as to what the Rams had to part ways in order to land Peters. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the full disclosure of the transaction have been revealed with the Rams parting way with just a pair of picks over the next two years in exchange for the 25-year-old and an additional asset.

Given the type of player that Peters has become in his first three seasons in the league, there was anticipation that the Rams had to give up a significant haul of draft picks. In fact, the belief was that the Chiefs had received in return what they saw as a comparable group of assets. It doesn't appear to be the case.

It is hard to believe that Los Angeles came out the winner on both sides of the deal that could benefit them greatly on the field without giving up too many assets. They still have several picks for this year's draft that includes a first-rounder, third, fifth, four sixths, and a seventh.

On top of that, the Rams are only expected to take on just a $1.74 million cap hit next season while the Chiefs are taking on a $1.3 million cap hit. They also possess the choice to pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie deal that is worth $9.5 million by May 3. Needless to say, Los Angeles may have gotten a steal in this deal if Peters continues to prove to be one of the league's elite corners.

The addition of Peters is a massive upgrade to their secondary as he has proven to be one of the top cornerbacks in the league who’s earned a pair of Pro Bowl selections and a First-Team All-Pro nod. He is also the first player since Ed Reed with five interceptions in each of his first three seasons—19 in total over that stretch. Los Angeles is essentially set to acquire a premier talent on the pay scale of a rookie next season.
