Eric Berry signs 6-year, $78m extension
 

I completely ****ed up in trying to merge the other two threads. I'll hang my head in shame. In the meantime, here's a new thread.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Chiefs gave S Eric Berry a six-year, $78 million deal that includes $40 million guaranteed and a $20 mil signing bonus, per source.</p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/836644811973230592">February 28, 2017</a></blockquote>

Recap of other thread:

Hooray. Hope he and Houston stay healthy cause they have a lot of money wrapped up in those two.

Like the dude at the Oscars, my explanation doesn't make it better, but for what it's worth...

I merged the two threads, but KnowMo's post was the first one, so he was retained as the OP. I tried to delete that post so that the next one in line would become the OP, but apparently our hack to keep the first post on every page isn't quite right, and instead of clicking on the button to delete the first post, I ended up clicking on the button to delete the whole thread.

:sulk:

You erased the thread like Berry erases redzone opportunities.

:p

Sooo, do we float something toward Poe? I don't like his wonky back or that other teams ran all over him last season, but at least throw out a number?!?

Still had the same screen up on my phone so here's a copy/paste of my clearly outstanding contribution to Pug's thread:

Bonus can only spread over 5 years so that puts $4 mil/season in cap.

Maybe 5/$60 in 'real' money?

17 - $1 million guaranteed (5 mil cap hit)
18- $7 million guaranteed (11 mil hit)
19 - $8 million gtd (12 mil hit)
20 - $11 partially gtd ($15 mil hit, $4 mil gtd)
21 - $13 (17 mil hit w/ $4 mil penalty if cut)
22 - $18 (no cap penalty to cut outright)

Obviously a wild-ass guess but that would be 4/$47 at that point.

I don't have any interest in tagging him, to be honest.

$13+ million for an 'anchor' who didn't actually do much to stop the run nor have his pass-rush skills ever come together.

The back made him a physically impressive JAG. That or his development just never did what we'd hoped and teams have adjusted. Maybe he makes a difference in gameplanning that we just don't see but I tell ya, it's not as thought he run game can get much worse. We were selling out to stop the run by the end of the year and putting our guys in real tough spots over the middle.

If they offer him the tag, he'll sign it that day and that will be the starting point for discussions. I don't think the market will support that kind of scratch for him and woe be the team that pays it to him. We rode that guy like a rented mule; I worry that we've seen the best he has to give.

I honestly don't think I could have rooted for the Chiefs quite as much as I have knowing they let Berry walk after everything he's been through with the team.
Plus, he's an OK player, I guess.

Clark cut a massive check up front to keep those cap hits low goodness

whoever says now Clark is cheap is a just a flat out liar

Not sure having the NFL's highest paid safety and overpaying an average guard are steps to becoming a Super Bowl team. :rolleyes:

Maybe we should drop Dorsey and hire you then!
