Berry to be franchised, Poe to walk: per 810

[T-post Tom]

810 reporting from outside sources. Not confirmed by Chiefs.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

aLLLLRIGHTY THEN !

[RunKC]

Poe was not playing NT as often as people think. He lines up as a DE in the nickel defense, which we play more than half the time.

Howard and a draft pick should be fine.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Poe was not playing NT as often as people think. He lines up as a DE in the nickel defense, which we play more than half the time.

Jones and Bailey will eat up the majority of the DL reps in the nickel and dime. Two bulls.

[mcaj22]

right decision, we got the best years out of Poe and a lot of mileage. Sutton rode him like a stud horse if you look at snap counts. Wish him the best, will cheer for him if he goes to the NFC

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Bailey has actually been our best run defender on the DL the past 2-3 years. One could easily argue that his return is needed more than Poe's when you lack at how the run defense performed.

[Discuss Thrower]

Big man with a back injury is hard to justify locking down with an appropriately-sized contract.

[The Franchise]

The Colts will overpay for Poe.

[chiefscafan]

Yeah but can we sign Berry or we losing him or having a nasty hold out

[PAChiefsGuy]

Sucks to see Poe go but it is the smart decision. The whole Berry situation is going to get very interesting.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

There are a lot of teams out there that would gladly take Jones/Bailey/Howard over what they have currently. I would say every team in the AFC West would other than maybe SD with Bosa and their new 4-3.

They just need to give Berry his 64/5 and be done with it. Easy call.

[Easy 6]

Hate to see Poe go, but he hasnt been the same lately

[DaFace]

My guess is we franchise Berry for this year, he holds out late just like he did this year, and we start moving away from him over the season. He walks in free agency next year.

I like the guy and think he's absolutely one of our most important players TODAY, but I'm getting tired of guys getting paid big money in situations like this and regretting it 2 years down the road when they're not producing.

[ChiliConCarnage]

not really shocking. Hate to see Poe go but I think he's gonna get a bigger contract than we'd be comfortable signing.

[Buehler445]

Figured as much, just get the deal done with Berry so it isn't a distraction.

[Buehler445]

I guess that comment should be directed at Berry not Dorsey as it appears Dorsey is working at it.

Berry - accept a deal.

I doubt Dorsey is lowballing him too damn hard. He's overpaid a bunch of other guys to be here, I doubt he is too far out of reasonable money.

Sign the contract, man.

[nychief]

Obviously Berry wants to be the highest paid S in the league, if not history... otherwise, I don't understand how they negotiate this long without a deal. Re: Poe. Just think he is going to get a big contract that we can't afford.

Pay a safety $13M a year?

No thanks.

[nychief]

Here’s a fun fact from Albert Breer of The MMQB (on Twitter): the $12.97MM tag for Berry would push him to $73.82MM in career earnings, which means that he would remain the highest paid safety in NFL history on a average per-year basis. Of course, Berry would prefer to keep the mantle of highest-paid safety while also gaining the security of a multi-year deal.

[CaliforniaChief]

Hungry Pig Walks

[scho63]

I like Poe but business is business and he is not worth what someone else will pay.

[RunKC]

I'm good with Dalvin Tomlinson in the draft as a backup to Howard in case he gets injured again.

[BlackHelicopters]

The Berry situation looks messy and will not end well.

It's going to end with him tagged and traded.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

No thanks.

See my above post with Andy Benoit's film review tweets on Berry. Safety, specifically Berry, is very valuable to our scheme.

I also expect him to end up as the highest paid S, so 13M is gonna happen.

[raybec 4]

Yeah you can't draw comparisons to Justin Houston in fear of not paying the man. He overcame cancer for god's sake. If he did get hurt it'd just be the luck of the draw and nothing you can control. He's earned a big contract and he's a leader and the heart of the defense with DJ. Give the man his check already.

[ThaVirus]

Is he only 26? I thought he was like 27/28..

[Coogs]

Which tag? The one where he can only sign with us, or the one that lets him negotiate with other teams?

EDIT: History says we almost always use the non-exclusive tag. That would allow Berry's agent to work out a deal with say Atlanta. Then we would have one week to match the offer. If not, Atlanta and the Chiefs would have to agree to some form of compensation.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Our line is still better than Denver and Oakland without Poe

[mcaj22]

hes 28 now, will be 29 by playoffs (late december)

basically paying for his early thirties

Calm the fuck down.

I was just being a smartass because so maybe people screamed "just pay him" when Bowe's contract time was coming up.

[ThaVirus]

I don't have a problem with that if Dorsey thinks he's worth it.

Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu and Brian Dawkins all played well into their 30s.

Berry is extremely athletic but his game doesn't rely on speed. Assuming full health, I think he'll be elite into his early-mid thirties.

For the entire season really, RNR stepped up big time and we all know how beastly Jones is. Even without Poe that's a really solid rotation with Bailey and Howard.

This is why you let Poe Walk: We have a lot of good options under contract.

[Mr. Laz]

Non-exclusive franchise tag player may negotiate with other NFL teams, but if the player signs an offer sheet from another team, the original team has a right to match the terms of that offer, or if it does not match the offer and thus loses the player, is entitled to receive two first-round draft picks as compensation.


That way Berry gets to see a true market value and the Chiefs get to match or get to negotiate a trade for draft picks. Maybe Berry won't be so pissed if he sees the offers from other teams. Chiefs will also get to see his league value.

[RippedmyFlesh]

Non exclusive tag is way to go. It is uncharted territory really because it will be a record deal for a safety no matter where he signs. Best case he sees what is out there and the chief's offer was right ballpark.

[raybec 4]

Played a ton of snaps more so than most interior lineman. The chiefs squeezed the most they could from him. He will be over paid and deal with a bad back. Have at him.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Sweet Jesus, I hope this report is true.

I've never understood this forum's fascination with Poe. For a guy that is supposedly dominant, he sure gets swallowed up by single blockers a lot - and ends up on his ass a lot as well.

Nope.

I like Poe, but his job was to eat up blockers (allowing LBers to feast) and stop the run. On a team whose weaknesses this past year were ineffective LBers and run defense.

It's sure hard to make the case that he's worth the money.

Add a shit-ton of snaps the last few seasons and a back problem, and it's impossible to make the case, IMO.

Also IMO, part of the reason the run defense sucked was because teams realized they didn't need to double Poe - a single blocker was enough, depending on the interior linemen in question.

In other words, he wasn't eating shit. Certainly not double-teams.

That way no team will get cute with some Poison Pill type contract either because the 2 first round draft picks is looming in the background.

If it's a fair contract that is just more than the Chiefs are will to pay, then the 2 teams will likely negotiate a trade for less than 2 first rounders. If it's a dick move then the Chiefs can just flip them the bird and demand the full tag trade value.

I don't think there is anyway a team will give up a huge contract and 2 first round picks for any safety. So it will have to be a mutually beneficial agreement for all parties.

Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle David Parry was arrested early Saturday morning in Scottsdale, Ariz. on suspicion of robbery, auto theft, criminal damage, resisting arrest and driving under the influence, via a report from Holly V. Hays of the Indianapolis Star.

Parry, a fifth-round pick of the Colts in 2015, allegedly hit a man on the head before stealing his street-legal golf cart. Police found Parry on the sidewalk, apparently intoxicated, after he crashed the cart into a gate. The alleged victim was using his cart as a taxi to take people home from a bar when Parry allegedly hit him and stole the vehicle. He was arrested around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Parry has started every game for the Colts over the last two seasons. He’s amassed 78 tackles and four sacks over that span.

And now your guess is 13.5m?

Interesting
All the guesses around here are going up.

I just want Poe to go to the highest bidder.

Make sure we get a nice comp pick for him next year.

I will raise my price to average of 11 mil per year. Any more than that and we got screwed so basicly today we should learn how bad we got screwed.

Poe went from beast to just a guy awful fast.

Once the back injuries start, they don't typically go away.

This is how I thought it would play out.

Signing Berry is a great move, he deserves to be chief for life. Great players get paid.

I don't see how you guys can afford to sign or franchise Poe after the Berry deal. I know Charles got cut but you are right up against the cap, have the young NT behind Poe and need to draft or sign edge rushers and some CB's at the least.

Congrats on keeping Berry.

[Garcia Bronco]

Honestly, Poe hasn't been truly great since the first year Sutton got here. I think the money we'd save on him could be put elsewhere.

Let's see...holds up at the point of attack. He creates interior pressure and commands double teams....I mean that is WTF you want in a DT/NT. If you're looking for high sack and tackle numbers out of a big body like that, then you might be disappointed frequently.

Poe is an elite pass rushing DE. He's fantastic on passing downs in the nickel.

Run defense is a bit shoddy though.

You talking about Dee Ford or the 340lb Dontari Poe who is a DT?

That's just one of the dumbest statements ever made.

810 is fake news.

I'm guessing it was Kevin Keitzman?

He's been doing this "my sources tell me" shit for years and it's always wrong. It was obvious years ago that he has no sources. He loves doing this shit. He'll guess something and when it's wrong, he'll just blame his "source."

As far as being a journalist goes, he's worse than even Fescoe.

Fucking dumbasses missed this by miles.

Fuck them.

It was a 50/50 proposition. They bet "franchise tag." Ooops.

Pretty much. He's such a dumbass.
