Chiefs trade Marcus Peters to Rams | What it means for Jets, Trumaine Johnson

Now that Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters is heading to the Rams, in a trade, what does this mean for the Jets?

Well, it obviously means the Jets aren't going to trade for Peters, a talented but hot-headed player who is entering his fourth NFL season. The Rams can pick up Peters' fifth-year option for 2019, and have two years of contractual control, because he was a first-round draft pick.

The Jets' best cornerback last season, Morris Claiborne, is a pending unrestricted free agent. Ideally, the Jets would re-sign him.
