How will Marcus Peters’ trade to Rams impact 49ers?

SANTA CLARA — Cornerback Marcus Peters is coming to the NFC West, and rather than become a 49ers teammate of Jimmy Garoppolo’s, Peters could become a chief hurdle to the division title.

Peters, an Oakland native, will move from the Kansas City Chiefs to the reigning NFC West-champion Los Angeles Rams once a trade can become official March 14, according to multiple reports.
