Chiefs have a few choices
1. pay a top SS like a top FS
2. move Berry to FS and risk an adjustment period and/or it not working out
3. Offer Berry top SS money and let him walk if he doesn't take it
after the Fisher and Albert draft/replace situation, i could see them letting Berry walk or trading him.

If that top SS produces like a top FS, and has the ability to be transitioned into either role, then what difference does it make? You pay him as a top Safety, regardless if it's free or strong.
Again, Berry IS NOT POLLARD.
I cannot stress this enough.
