I use "trading" in quotes because IMO, it was either that or a keel haul.
Remember ... when that happened, many fans were pissed off as hell because they valued Peters and we did not yet know what we had in Mahomes.
Veach knew, however ...
He knew that (going forward) this was Mahomes' locker room and Peters was going to be a distraction and would eventually become a plague on our house.
Today, we have a culture that not only values winning, it values teamwork and brotherhood among the players and coaches.
Rare.
And possible (at least, in part) because Veach was confident that showing Peters the egress was the best move at the time.

Not only that but the corners on our roster left a lot to be desired at the time, our secondary also was our weakest part of the defense. Trading away Peters who was widely regarded as our best CB at the time was not a popular move.
Veach hasn't missed much while being the GM of the KC Chiefs- only move that I think was a bad misfire was Breeland Speaks but who gives a shit since the good heavily outweighs the bad.
