Chiefs fans - Expect All-Pro player to sign a team friendly deal.....and when he doesn't....place all hopes on a rookie coming in and producing the same for pennies on the dollar.
Rinse and repeat. |

sure, but an educated one.
All players want to maximize their salary and Berry is not going to want to take a pay cut just because he is a Strong instead of a Free safety. He will say that he is an impact player and should be paid like a top 5 safety regardless of position. 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.

I ****ing hated the Jared Allen trade. I would ****ing hate an Eric Berry trade. I ****ing hate losing good players, but clearly each of us believes there are circumstances that COULD exist where it makes sense. I'm not saying those "ifs" are going to happen, but I'm pointing out there is an actual situation where trading our best defensive player makes sense. Just the same way you think there was a situation where trading our best defensive player made sense. I don't want it to happen, but I hope the chiefs consider every possibility. |

There is still a difference in terms of impact for the safety positions. This is a passing league and having a Safety that can stop the deep passes and get INTs is more valuable than LB/SS. jmo

They have overpaid a few people (i.e., Bowe) but for the most part they haven't signed terrible contracts for old veteran players. |

He was 1 offense away from a year long suspension. That isn't a concern? That's not something Peterson made up. That was a the reality of the situation. I understand that Peterson used it as a cop-out....but it doesn't change the fact that it was in fact a real risk. And of course there might be an actual situation in which unloading Berry makes sense, but it's unlikely to happen. I don't see $$$ as a reason to give up an All Pro player. The only plausible situation is if A) We have the chance to draft another Premier prospect or B) Some team offers up a stupid amount of picks. The odds of either of those happening are slim to none. |

Berry gets just as many INTS as Thomas, scores TD's once he gets those INTs and can still play in the box and make game changing tackles and sacks. So why exactly doesn't he deserve to get paid like a top Safety? |

This thought that Berry isn't a gamechanging safety is a bit assinine. Look at his numbers thru 42 games and Earl Thomas numbers thru his first 42 games.
Berry is a candidate to have a HUGE year this year, thus making him want more money. |

A passing league that favors the spread offense, which is best defended by 'big nickel' packages utilizing players at the LOS that can play the run, rush the passer or cover someone. Most of the time this is 2 players of Berry's caliber.

The fact that Berry can produce as well as Thomas while adding an extra LB dimension to his game should speak favorably for Berry. |
