I can jive with that line of thinking

Who ever is responsible for our safteys deserves a raise

**** letting Berry go.

Yes

Its a bad idea for sure but, we can't be paying him 55+ either....

Unless he and/or his agent are just being completely unreasonable, you have to get a deal done.

Hah. Yawn. I like Parker but that was a weak highlight film, honestly.

I'd suspect a 2015 Josh Mauga highlight reel would be more entertaining.

Hint: It's a black guy.

ThaVirus highlights would be more interesting that Mauga's.

Well, maybe.

Dorsey has proven to be a ****ing wizard when it comes to finding Safeties, RBs and DL....

I dont think anyone wants Berry to go...I dont. I just dont think he is as good as the PR hype machine tells us...nor do I think the position is worth 11-12 million a year. He's worth 8 million based on his play...

Berry rally's the troops come game time

It gets hyped the **** up like Ray Lewis style

Yeah..that's worth something for sure... but shouldn't make him the highest paid at his position when he's not the best at it. Hopefully Berry is honest enough to know he doesn't deserve to be the top payed SS in the NFL...Dorsey knows his playing value...and his emotive value to the locker room. Lets hope his agent doesn't **** it up...

Out of curiosity, who is the best then?

Berry's like a mix of Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor. He's certainly the most versatile safety in the league. He's probably the best open field tackler and box safety. He's high on the list in athleticism, INT return ability, and TE coverage. There really is no weakness in his game.

Another reason to not overpay at those positions.

We can't go crazy and just think we can make do with anyone but making Berry the highest paid safety in NFL history is probably not a good idea.

Speaking of DL, i hope to hell that Britt 'nepotism' Reid doesn't **** it up.

but you're a ****ing idiot so who gives a **** what you've said or think

Absent a significant shift in the next two days, I’m told the #Chiefs and Eric Berry are unlikely to come to terms on a long-term deal.

Interesting. It'd be foolish to break the bank for a safety.....even an All Pro safety. But, apparently Berry thinks he can get more elsewhere, so, play under the tag for a year, and then, go for it. I'd be good with that.

Jason La Canfora

At this point would take some major movement for the Chiefs and Eric Berry to strike a long term deal by the deadline Fri

This is going to bite us in the ass.

lulz

If Dorsey thought he was worth it...this deal would have been done a while ago. He's a straight shooter...and has been right more than wrong. I wouldn't tie up a lot of guaranteed money on a player that just came off chemo...I would wait it out and make sure he is 100% healthy, long-term, first. It's a tough situation but KC has Poe's contract coming up...and he is more rare than a SS.

I think this is more about positional value and cap management than Berry as a person...if Berry is asking for a record deal after how KC supported him, that kind of sucks on his part. I dont think he holds out over it...

Time to work on Poe deal if we can't get Berry to a long term contract.

And people on CP said the same thing about Houston last year at this time.

That said, I'm fine with him playing on the tag and drafting his replacement in 2017.

Rand Gettlin is also saying Von Miller is "seriously considering" sitting out and wouldn't be surprised if he did.

The media will say about anything to get attention.

I wouldn't worry about this unless it doesn't get done and it's past the deadline.

I expect that this will be Berry's last year with KC working on a franchised contract.

Berry is just as overrated right now as he was 2 weeks ago.

I didn't...Houston was coming off 22 sacks and a plays a key position to make Sutton's D function.

Berry is a very good player and person...but he did get torched by Gronk on what became the winning TD. If he wants to be the highest paid..he has to make that play at that time in the game. It's what superstars do..

Absolutely. Either he puts up an 80-tackle, 15 PD, 5 INT year or he's gone to someone else at an exorbitant rate.

Someone is going to overpay for Eric Berry but it won't be the Chiefs.

We all know it will be Pioli.

This is really hard to tell.

Dorsey has drafted said players replacement a year in advance. Seems like Poe would be more likely to leave per Dorsey's history here.

What holds up contract in the NFL is guranteed money. He must want like 50 mil. That is too much when we have Fish and Poe. We need them more I think especially Fish. We drafted to maybe replace Poe.

Its an incredibly tough call, but I'm leaning towards Black Ops takes

Berry is an incredible person and story, but when all things are weighed out... is he really more important than Poe, is his position harder to fill?

I'm thinking no

That said, of course I want Eric back if there is any way possible... he brings an intangible heart and soul to the team. But as BO pointed out, its entirely reasonable for Dorsey to play out the string a little bit

Eric needs to understand the tenuous position he puts the organization in

And we drafted safeties.

Berry also was drafted the final year of the rookie big money so he had a large pay day already. If he wants to much and we have let Poe the walk then forget him.

Fixed

and potentially Poe's replacement.

no we didn't

Honored again tonight at the ESPY's.

Beautiful. The mans a stud. Honor and Legacy.

you go to hell, and you diiiiiiiiiiie!

Here you go again.....
You just cannot resist can you?

Meh. I'll wait til the deadline before I get all up in arms about it. Last year people and media didn't know if Houston would get his deal done. I think it gets done last minute but maybe that's me being hopeful. I don't see Berry leaving KC.

He can join their $10 million center.

Hope they enjoy it

Raiders now have to worry about locking up some of their guys in the future. They won't be as active in FA as they have been lately.

Healthy Poe.

Hey, a Chief finally touched that old horse.

:clap:

And their Left Guard.

Doesn't sound like Dorsey is letting emotions get the best of him in these negotiations, but I hope he makes the right decision.

I think Dorsey deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to safeties.

Not happening. He'll get a 1 year franchise deal. I'm willing to bet on that one.

If this were to come about by some miracle take it and don't look back.

I'd take a 1 and a 3 and be absolutely thrilled

No one is giving up that for a SS...which is why there is an impasse on his contract. It's just not that that valuable of a position...probably the least on the defensive side.

He's playing FS now

Has that ever happened? I can't recall a tagged player ever getting signed away and a team giving up 2 first round picks.

As long as Antonio Gates is still in the division, we know Berry is getting his lunch money taken in at least 2 games every year.

Joey Galloway was traded to Dallas for two firsts. That is the only time it's happened.

If a middle of the pack team wants him for a first, I'd do it if Dorsey doesn't think Eric is worth the money he's demanding.

For 12m per....well, bye.

https://www.google.com/amp/profootba...client=safari#

He had a large rookie deal and now he's just a greedy asshole. He's not the best safety in football and shouldn't get the most money.

ROFL

Of course Jerry would do that. Btw, 2 firsts for 151 catches and 12 TDs in 4 years with Dallas.

WTF? Why would his tag salary go up by $2.1 mil if they chose to tag him again next year?

I'm not so sure how sad I would be if we got two first round picks for Berry unless that team was a Super Bowl winner and our picks were at the bottom of the barrel.

Several times I was sad when we traded talent but it worked out well in many cases.

Tony G, Jared Allen, Brandon Albert.

Other times not so well like Neil Smith and Albert Lewis

It's progressive

We traded Smith to the Broncos and Lewis to the raiders?

Are you sure about that?

This hasn't been the case in quite a long time

Don't think they were trades.

Just tag him and let him walk after this season. **** it.

I'd rather keep that $12m on ice for a top-notch CB.

A RARE R Clark SIGHTING!!!!!!

How you been, R?

Trying to get by

Did you get your naked Von ESPN magazine yet ROFL

Ugh.

I presume he's signed his tender. Otherwise, I'd rather just rescind the tag and put him in FA over paying him $11 million for a year.

I'd be okay with a long-term AAV at that figure because players only get more expensive so the 'real' cost is likely in the $9 million range. Paying him that in real dollars for a single season, OTOH, sucks balls.

If it were doable, I'd cut him and use the roll-over savings to put towards retaining Fisher or Poe long-term. Berry under the tag isn't a value at all.

Sure seems like paying the man when the Chiefs didn't have to built up a ton of good will, eh?

Not a fan of it on either side. Not a real good look by the chiefs for not extending berry with all he's been thru and how he's come out on the other side, not good by berry demanding what I'm guessing he's demanding.

"However, he could also hold off on signing the tender, which would allow him to skip training camp and the preseason and return shortly before the regular season and still collect his full $10.8 million salary."

Seems it would benefit both sides to get a deal done

I'm leaning towards this being more berry than the chiefs. Past evidence shows the chiefs have to issue giving out big deals.
