He's easily priority 1. He won't be hard to get a deal done with, though.

Is Berry really the emotional leader?

I am a big Berry fan, but from my couch, it sure looks like Peters is that guy already.

I just ASSume since he made so much in previous contract that he isn't going to ask for less now. That is a lot for a safety. We have like 5 capable safeties on team now and let another good one(kurt coleman) go last FA period because had so many

Safety is a tough one for me too. I love how Abdullah and Branch are playing. And I cringe thinking about the years with Kendrick Lewis. But three years straight we've gotten a guy off the street to play well for us for ridiculously cheap. I can't imagine we keep all 3. We have to make tough choices somewhere.

Eric Berry deserves to be the highest paid safety in the NFL because he is the best safety in the NFL. The fact he's the emotional leader of this team is a bonus.

The only way they shouldn't make him the highest paid safety is if ERIC BERRY cones to the table asking for less.

I think Berry is THAT guy and Peters is the next generation and supplying the team with a huge amount of enthusiasm. It's a great combination with Berry beating Cancer all to hell at the same time.

When you get a minute, go watch the pre game rallies and the post game celebrations in the locker room.

When Berry speaks, everyone shuts up and listens.

That role was Houston and is being filled by Berry right now and he's impressive at it.

Berry needs to be kept. 110% must. He's a 'game changer' in the NFL.

Let's not forget that Ron Parker has been our NB when we aren't in base defense since week 4 and has looked damn good. He has been a true hybrid this year. Again, makes SS more expendable....

Anyone who thinks we're cutting one of the greatest RBs of all time has officially lost their ****ing mind!

Hali is already signed so he isn't a FA. DJ, Berry, and Howard are your must keeps - Tier 1
Smith, Abdullah, and Branch are your keep if you can - Tier 2 and your Stephenson and Allen are your don't re sign - Tier 3

If Peters isn't now, he will be soon.

Seems to me that we missed DJ more when he was gone.

In no way am i saying that i don't like Berry, or don't want him, he's one of our best.

There is just always a price to be set.

Dorsey >penbrook

Berry and DJ are locks to return.

Howard is in talks right now.

The question will be: how do we keep Sean Smith? In my opinion you threaten him with the tag if he's asking for the moon, draft a CB in round 1, then let him loose in 2017 if he doesn't come down.

If he does come down at any point, you ink him.

Abdullah and Branch have probably played themselves out of a contract here. They'll be starters like Kurt Coleman was. So long and thanks for all the fish.

You can re-sign Sorensen on the cheap and Dorsey has a knack for landing excellent free agent safeties on the cheap. He's amazing at it.

I let Allen an Stephenson walk. I let DeVito walk, too -- he's played himself out of a contract for us.

As for Hali, I make it very clear: you'll have to sign a bargain deal with us, but if you do, you get whatever you want. You can sit out 50% of our practices, you can split snaps with Ford, you can get the best seat on the bus, whatever.

If he's not down for that, we wish him well and roll with Ford.

penbrook 12-21-2015 08:20 PM

Good thing about Dorsey is that say Smith does command 10 mil a year he will find a way to make the deal seem genius! A la Parker deal

Direckshun 12-21-2015 08:20 PM

And, by the way, I keep Charles. WTF.

Hali is better than Ford! He already has a deal in which he can make more money by reaching 8 sacks, 10 sacks and 12 sacks on the season.
