A relatively quiet week in terms of NFL transactions was set ablaze by the Kansas City Chiefs' trade of star cornerback Marcus Peters to the Los Angeles Rams on Friday morning. Peters' relationship with head coach Andy Reid and the organization as a whole dwindled, making them hesitant to invest in the Washington product long-term.

While the price-tag for Peters in terms of draft picks is yet to be revealed, we do know that LA won't be paying his full contract, per USA TODAY's Cameron DaSilva.

For some perspective, DaSilva adds that the Rams paid cornerback Trumaine Johnson about 10 times that with the franchise tag in 2017. With the addition of Peters, Los Angeles is expected to let Johnson walk in free agency.

The 25-year-old has made a pair of Pro Bowls while earning one First-Team and one Second-Team All-Pro nod in his first three NFL seasons. His eight picks as a rookie led all first-year players and were tied for the most in the league as a whole.

Under head coach Sean McVay, the Rams are hoping that Peters will quickly assimilate into the winning culture they built last season. It's expected that they'll eventually try to sign him to a long-term deal, but they don't need to rush to do so. He has a fifth-year option for $9.5 million in 2019 should LA choose to go that route.

Earlier today it was reported that Peters actually requested a trade following Kansas City's wild-card round loss to the Tennessee Titans. He was suspended by the Chiefs late in this season after throwing a penalty flag into the stands and partaking in an argument with an unnamed coach.

This is certainly an upgrade for the Rams' secondary, but it's impossible to say who won the trade until we learn what Kansas City received in return. They were apparently hoping to land Robert Quinn along with some draft picks, but Ian Rapoport reports that it will only be picks.
