It's going to be an issue if Mitchell plays well.

When does Peters become a Free agent?

Love Marcus Peters. Love Chris Jones. And not just because they're draft hits, but because they were rookies poised to make immediate impacts with teams regardless of who drafted them. More of those, please. Fewer Dee Fords and Philip Gaines, please.

Fair enough!

But Kpass and Jones are going to **** shit up together once Kpass is ready.

It will largely depend on what Mitchell asks for.

Mitchell won't be asking for top money. A contract maybe a little less than why we signed Sean Smith to

You have absolutely no idea what Mitchell will command

It'll depend on his play. If he's a shutdown corner, he's going to get $10+ million per.

If he's just "okay", he's probably looking at $5-$6 million.

I doubt that Peters is going to wait until the end of his rookie contract to get a new deal, especially if he keeps playing very well.
IIRC after this year he will have accrued the required time before negotiating a new contract. Whether the Chiefs will want to do it in 2018 or wait longer is to be determined. One obvious thing is the longer we wait the more he is going to cost us barring some injury or bad off the field issues.

It'll be his first full season. He needs to do more than be good for 1 year if wants big money

If he plays like a solid #2 or even close to a #1, some team will give him a huge contract.

Now that we've gotten rid of that bum Dorsey I'm sure we'll sign Peters early to a contract for 3 million per year for 6 years. We'll be able to keep all of our players and still have 30-40 million in cap space left with no problems. I can't wait until the Super Bowl Trophies start rolling in.

Sounds like the big boss thinks you are going to have to wait at least 3 years just to get to the Super Bowl.

Mitchell is a RFA and can be kept on a 1st, 2nd, or original round tender for very little $. He is under team control through 2018 in that sense, as he isn't a 'free' agent.
