The Kansas City Chiefs have finalized a trade that will send cornerback Marcus Peters to the Los Angeles Rams, two sources confirmed to The Star on Friday.
The trade concludes Peters’ three-year run in Kansas City, which was filled with multiple highs — his two Pro Bowl and All-Pro appearances — and lows, most of which occurred during a tumultuous 2017 season in which he recorded 46 tackles, five interceptions and nine passes defensed.
Peters remained the Chiefs’ best cornerback last season, but he failed to make a Pro Bowl for the first time in his career and found himself at the epicenter of turmoil related to his pregame protests and sometimes-explosive temperament.
NFL Network reported the 49ers and Browns were also interested in Peters, but a source told The Star on Friday that the Browns were not a major option.
The trade will bring Peters closer to his hometown of Oakland, Calif., where Peters regularly spends his offseason. (The Kansas City Star)

All three had two years remaining on their deals, which now will run through the 2021 season. ... The Jaguars also released veteran running back Chris Ivory, who was ineffective and then inactive late in the season, and will save $3.6 million in salary-cap space.
