I also think that Berry is overpaid, and I'm a big fan of Berry.

My Madden comment was not specifically directed at you. But "knee jerk planet" does not take long to surface at the announcing of new contracts/acquisitions. The fact that Sorenson CAN play in the box, on teams, and blitz, and play in coverage should tell us something.

I agree with your Berry comment. More have to realize that these players are being compensated for more than what we just see on Sundays. I view Sorenson as a very dependable, consistent player with a huge versatility plus. Not a lot of players can do what he can, as well as he can.

Oh, I get it... you don't understand that safeties are important.

May be late to the party, but just saw this and am responding. DJ's injury could've led to him being played in the box more, which I agree is beyond his capabilities. If we can find a legit option in the middle, I think we can maximize Sorenson's strengths.

Yup.

This is a big-time coach's pet misstep.

There's no way on earth that Sorenson would've made that much on the open market; nothing even close. We just paid a hometown premium while dealing with a tight cap.

We'll see how much of this is guaranteed but unless there's pretty much zero in GTD money, this is a mistake.

Almost half is guaranteed

I have a feeling Parker is gone next season with his cap hit going up to 7 million. Sorensen/Murray can fill that role next year and their* combined cap hit is much easier on the team than paying Ron.

Unless his game falls off big time, I wouldn't cut Parker. He's been steady, durable, and a pretty damn good safety for us who is versatile enough to play single high or roll up in the slot and cover man to man.

Worth $7 million at the level he played last year.

Sorensons the best White safety in the NFL.

[Eleazar]

Hey, look, that misplaced copy of LDT's contract seems to have turned up.

[PAChiefsGuy]

Good signing

[oldman]

I think this is pretty solid. He's not flashy, but he's a solid player and seems to be around the ball most of the time.

[Unsmooth-Moment]

I think this is fair value for both Sorenson and the Chiefs.

It seems houston and berry have changed Dorsey's mind on letting players "prove it" in the last year.
