Will Kansas City Chiefs sign Marcus Peters before rookie camp?

The Kansas City Chiefs went in a direction many were not expecting the 2015 NFL Draft, selecting cornerback Marcus Peters with the 18th-overall pick.

With the Chiefs rookie minicamp fast approaching, will Kansas City be able to lock up the boom-or-bust pick, or will negotiations continue deeper into the spring?

For the Chiefs, signing rookies to a contract is a priority. Having the players locked into their contracts give both the athlete and Kansas City peace of mind. For example, Dante Fowler Jr, who tore his ACL during his first practice, did not have his contract signed. This could have been disastrous for the rookie.
