By 2020 (if not earlier), the highest paid CB in the league will average $18 million minimum per year.
If the Chiefs do indeed trade Peters, it'll most likely be because Clark Hunt doesn't feel comfortable paying (rewarding?) Peters with a 5 year, $90 million dollar deal with $38 million (or more) guaranteed.

So counting the next 2 seasons he's under contract plus a franchise year that would be 3 years for around $31-32 million. If that is too much for Clark or anyone else, then they're a moron.
Let him walk at 28 and take the comp pick while someone else overpays in free agency.
