Peters is a California kid and was never going to make a career in KC. If Veach didn't trade him now, he'd be looking to get a 3rd round comp pick for him after he got a FA deal from the Raiders. It's better long term to get a the 23rd pick and a 5th rounder this year and a 2nd round pick next year. Marcus gave us 3 good years at a cost of less than $6.5 million in cap space and we got a nice package of picks for him when we knew he'd never sign a new contract.
Thanks Marcus and enjoy LA.
