Rams close to deal with Chiefs for cornerback Marcus Peters

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams agreed to a trade to acquire Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Peters from the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The deal cannot be processed until March 14.

Peters would presumably step in as the Rams' primary cornerback, which might spell the end of Trumaine Johnson's tenure with the Rams. Peters has 19 interceptions in his first three NFL seasons and was named first-team All-Pro in 2016, the second of back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances.
